Should this interaction Freeze the whole board?

Submitted 2 years, 11 months ago by

So I was playing Even Mage in wild, and trying the new cards... I had Ice Walker on the field and played Reckless Apprentice . In the end... No minion was frozen... Do you think this interaction should work? (Just on wording I think so)

    I agree. Based on the wording that interaction should work.

    Yeah, this is working as it should be. Your Hero Power isn't actually targeting anything when it's being fired by Reckless Apprentice, and thus won't trigger Ice Walker since Walker specifically mentions a target.

    And yet Reckless Apprentice consistently hits all the targets. That's quite impressive, especially when you're not targetting.

    Reminds me of the Spirit of the Dragonhawk and Ice Walker interaction.

    Take my words with a grain of salt. I'm unranked and only play casuals lmao.

    True but we are targeting in the spirit of the dragon hawk's case and it works that way... Interesting

    Focusing purely on flavour, hitting everything with an AoE is not impressive, because what's really happening is an area is hit and characters just happen to be in that area. In this guy's case, he shoots in every direction so of course he'll hit everything without needing to target it.

    Turns out this is actually a bug. It will be fixed by tomorrow's patch.

    Well shit, I guess it wasn't intended after all. A bit inconsistent with how other "targeting" mechanics work

    Thanks for the news! Good for me, bad for my oponents! Not that balanced, but really good...

    Yup, that's two more Blizzards for Even Mage :-) 

    I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
