    They are STILL trying to bring back freeze shaman

    /s

    That's a good value though, we don't care about 1 mana freeze, it will definitely help.

    alright, they're memeing at this point.

    It's a good activator though. Stalling an enemy for a turn while advancing your gameplan can't be bad

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    I mean Frost Shock used to be playable, and this is better than that in most cases. The invoke effect summons a 2/1 rush, to this is kind of Freeze a Enemy, deal 2 damage to an enemy minion. That's a big deal, because you can freeze a large minion or the enemy player, while removing a small threat, or you can simply use it to create a 2/1 that your opponent has to deal with, and ignore the freeze all together. I'm glad you have to have Galakrond in your deck for the invoke to work or else I think this could be too good in decks that aren't playing it.

    To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.

    One of the strongest Invoke cards we have seen so far.

    Ray of Frost is super powerful, yes it has twin-spell but the ability to cheaply freeze a target can be huge in retaining board presence. This card gives the added bonus of Invoking Galakrond, the Tempest which summons a 2/1 with rush, just an incredibly powerful card for 1 mana.

    Shaman is looking to be the best Galakrond deck.

    good stall option, the rush also helps to clear the board a bit, or it could just help fill a board

    AND it works towards your Galakrond upgrades. And Glacial Shard already saw quite a bit of play.

    This card is crazy good. Probably one of the best invoke cards.

    Stall a minion while summoning a bit of board presence on the cheap. Don’t see a downside to this, really good card

    FREEZE SHAMAN IS BACK EVERYBODY!!! 5/5 CARD!!! NOW I CAN SHOW ALL THOSE HATERS WHO'S BOSS!!! FREEZE SHAMAN FOR THE WIN!!!

    Not but seriously, I wasn't expecting this. It is pretty good, it is just like Glacial Shard but with rush. There isn't a battlecry, so it doesn't have any synergy with shudderwock, but it is still a decent tempo play and it does invoke galakrond. This is better than a lot of the invoke cards we have seen so far simply because shaman has such a proactive galakrond power. Imagine freezing one minion and than trading into another. A 2/1 rush is a pretty good 1 drop, just look at Springpaw, this deals the same damage for half the cost, it is less flexible not being able to deal the damage to two separate targets, but is also can free whatever it wants.

    Well they're super low tempo in general, just not with shaman.  They said they wanted shamans invoke/dragon to be tempo oriented.  Their dragon's battlecry isn't quite as much value as other classes (though 2 8/8 rushes is still pretty nutty

    Glacial Shard with Rush, as others have noted. Glacial Shard saw a lot of play, so this seems like a no-brainer in a Galakrond deck.

    2 8/8s with rush is really nutty. Their Galakrond won't play the long game quite as well as some others, but it is still a major upgrade. Currently I just see strong and fast invoke cards that quickly activate overpowered synergy cards, and nowhere is there actually a price to pay other than that you have to choose between this, Hagatha and the quest.

    That's an embarrassment of riches, not good design.

    As everyone has pointed out - Glacial Shard with rush (but the downside of not triggering elemental battlecries, if that matters). Maybe worth playing in a Galakrond Deck, since it's very cheap and can do a lot to control an early game board, but there are probably more impactful ways to get your invokes in.

    As stupid as this sounds, I think it's nice they're adding a little Freeze Shaman support. It would be cool if one day you could play a modestly competitive Freeze Shaman in Wild. Alternatively, the next time they cycle cards into standard from wild, maybe Freeze Shaman would have enough support to be more than a meme.

    Just a 1 mana 2/1 rush is good enough. The effect of getting to freeze an enemy is a nice bonus.

    Not bad should just see it as a minion that freezes and has rush the small cost also has good synergy with spirit of the frog if the spirit gets run in a galakrond deck.

    Damn it's really a good card.

    It's a versatile Invoke card which is good. It's not overstat'ed for what it does and it's similar to Glacial Shard with Rush, and that card saw play. This seems to be an auto-include for Galakrond Shaman.

    Odd card for sure, freeze is not really shaman's thing except in one classic card and one set in which they though "hey how bad can we make cards?"

    Seems good, curves into Earthen Might.

    So basically this spell freezes an enemy (not just a minion) and summons a 2-1 elemental with rush - seems good for 1 mana. I suppose Galakrond shaman will play it.

    I think this card is nice, is a cheap invoke card, and that is already good. Freezing a minion and summoning a 2/1 with rush for 1 mana is super good, because it disrupt your opponent's tempo and helps you catch up if you are behind because it only cost 1 and doesn't take your whole turn. One of the best invoke card for sure

    Pretty basic, could save you some damage and get a small rush minion, not much value but might be worth it early game.

    Well it works nicely with moorabi since you can get him and this out on the same turn easily although I the stall and summons is nice since it adds more control and I'm kind of glad that it isn't a damage spell just a stalling one.

    Just realized that each class has just 2 invoke cards... That means that (excluding for randomly generated invoke cards) you must put 2x of each of them if you want to bring Galakron to full power. Ouch... This card is bad.

    Blizzard is really slow-rolling us with this Moorabi synergy. In my opinion not good enough to see play. Corrupt Elementalist is far more powerful and even some of the Neutral cards are probably better than this as far as Invoke goes. Even summoning a single 2/1 Elemental with Rush doesn’t feel like enough to me.

    But even better that that. Its a Glacial Shard with rush that advances your win condition. It never is a bad late turn play because of that, just like playing C'thun cards.

    This will certainly won't make freeze shaman viable but the tempo you can gain for only one mana is pretty intersting for sure. Frezze effects should never be underestimated.
