damn! this is insane!
0-mana spells are always going to be a thing for spell heavy classes. Probably also one of the few Ranked spells that's perfectly playable at rank 1
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Freeze mage 2021
I'm so glad that Mana Cyclone is rotating...I guess Mozaki Mages will still use this. Gadgetzan Auctioneer fodder.
Mozaki is veeeeeeery happy about this
0 mana freeze, that's what Moorabi needed!
It's getting cold out here. Do you guys feel it, too?
OBLIVION!
Zero mana spells should never be underestimated so this will definitely see play, especially with Frost Nova and Ray of Frost rotating. I'd be scared to see what this card can do in wild
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Strong. Will see a lot of play.
For 0 mana this is just to good.Will see a lot of play and will be hated when you get it from discover effects.
Great spell and it's only 0 mana, but the randomness will not allow it to work on every board (or will make it even more frustrating when the opponent lucks out on the targets). But Mages love 0 mana spells so much, won't be surprised to find two copies of it in most archetypes.
zero mana spells are dangerous with gadgetzan still around. esspecially if they are also helping to stall the game
good card for the freeze package
Banned for spamming.
0 Mana Cards are always scary or at least cannot be underestimated.
This one is pretty good - Glacier Racer could also abuse this card.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
The new most hated card in mage has just been invented.
Its either going to be nerfed because of the heat it gets from the community, or its just going to be cancerous everywhere it goes.
1 mana either stall or removal. and Living Dragonbreath left standard before their archnemesis arrived...
I dont like the random thing but we dont care at rank 3 since 3 minions is so much for 0 mana. Little cousin of frost nova. I'm glad to see frost comming in mage, only have the hero power archetype would have been rapidly boring.
Murlocs <3
only good in freeze mage
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
It is a zero cost card, but still I'm not impressed
-=alfi=-
The effect is alright, but mostly the fact that it's a 0 mana spell allows for [Hearthstone Card (Mozaki) Not Found]/Gadgetzan Auctioneer shenanigans. Love that Flurry got to reveal this card though.
At first I was like eh.. but then I saw the 0-mana cost. Wow, cool card, not only for Freeze mage.
♡ u 4ever 2008 - 2022
With the loss of Frost Nova, this will certainly fill an important gap, and provide very cheap combo potential for Snap Freeze and Glacier Racer
Why cost 0? They removed some freeze spells for this one? I'm confused
Decent combo with Glacier Racer. I like!
Zero mana freeze spell. I thought they wanted to gut Freeze Mage. Mage players will probably love it, all others well let's say we know how popular Freeze Mage was :)
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
Free freezing is always good
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
Freeze mage is already an annoying archetype and gains more support with a 0 mana spell. The best ranked spell so far, in my opinion. Great trigger for Mozaki also.
So, what Blizzard is telling, at least with the rank 3 part of Flurry (Rank 1) is that, after turn 10, the deal 1 damage portion of Cone of Cold is worth 3 mana, when a similar card like Shooting Star is 1 mana.
Why is this spell not 1 mana in the first place is beyond me.
Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)
Wins per class (2/6/22): DH-197; Druid-996; Hunter-91«60; Mage-1056; Paladin-1126; Priest-746; Rogue-961; Shaman-1095; Warlock-871; Warrior-906
0 mana card. 5/5.
Nothing more to say.
Mozaki, Master Duelist
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
This can stall very well for cheap, but not until you're at 10 mana. To fend off early aggression, it doesn't do much.
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
seems like mozaki mage still be a thing
Sigh...I was so looking forward to no cheap effective freeze spells for at least one expansion.
Zero cost is nice, but won't be put into many decks. Better from generation
Mage still freezes, but no more board wide freezes. Will it try to freeze something that already frozen? either way a decent stall

Seems pretty awful, but will sometimes be nice to discover.
0 cost card is good
Rogue DH
Good when upgraded and 0 mana spells are always use full. But I have a feeling this often will be a waste of space in your hand.
Seems really good. I'll keep my barf bag ready.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
Zero cost freeze spell. This will see a lot of play.
Really like this card! 0 mana allows you to combo with value generation card. Hope we'll get a new mana cyclone in the Barrens.
never underestimate 0 cost spells, pretty good in the late game + has some combo potential.
They rotate Frost Nova out of Core only to add this later. This seems really nice. It's also the only Rank Up spell so far that costs less than 2.
Has pontetial...I think
0 mana!
I keep seeing new cards and saying, "Damn, [insert class name] is going to be fun to play!" (Except when it's DH, because that class is dumb.)
Everybody's all about Mozaki, it seems, but this is actually excellent support for the hero power archetype as well. Being able to freeze the leftovers after you cook the board with your Fireblast will be important, and doing it for free is just icing on the cake (pardon the puns -- sorry not sorry).
It's a good card, but I was waiting for a ranked damage spell
Being a 0 mana spell you can use your actual mana to erase the minions you want and then freeze the rest, so it's not so random.
decent card for what is will be great for mana cyclone not sure if it would be included in many decks but would be a good discover
Yech, just when I was celebrating Mage's Freeze rotating. Having a 0-mana spell always has potential, especially in something like Mage who can continue chaining cheap spells with Gadgetzan Auctioneer.
Interesting, let's wait and see.
Of all the upgrading cards, this seems to be one of the weakest in it's base form. But after turn 5 it becomes very powerful. I would like to see some cool freeze synergy stuff to make freeze decks more dynamic and interesting, and a 0 mana spell that freezes a small number of things is good since it doesn't completely prevent the opponent from doing things on their turn, but it also makes it easy for you to utilize your synergy.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Classic, let's make a new fireball variant
I've been here a while; just hanging out in the background.
O mana spell, freeze effect to stall - I predict this becomes a staple in mage decks.
Incredibly solid for freeze synergy
if I liked playing mage I would be very happy to see this
This looks fun, kind of reminds me of Cascading Disaster
Disclaimer: if the above is factually incorrect or complete rubbish it is definitely both intentional and comedy genius.
Great flexible card!
Are we bringing back freeze mage? This also looks to be more fodder for that Mozaki Mage deck that is running around being stealthily good/frustrating.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Who doesn't want to survive another turn (probably) against a board-focused deck? Heck yeah! Plus, obviously, spell-playing and/or Freeze synergy.
More cheap spells for mage. Also freeze variety. Interesting. I don't know how good this will be without some other stuff though. Not sure what kind of support this has yet. Seems neat, but maybe not used in decks deliberately? I'm pretty unsure on this one.
Good for spell mage to get a free spell-based activator.
Ribbit
I already hate it.
frozen mage is back!
This is really really strong
0-mana freeze? I'll take 2. May not always hit the biggest threat, though the chances become bigger as the threats become bigger, but it will slow your opponent down.
0 mana frost nova?
This isn't so bad. Zero mana almost a Frost Nova is great. Nova was such a strong card. Even though this says random, you can definitely get this into a favorable position. Just a real solid card.
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
0 mana.. Blizzard when will you learn?
Mozaki activator, and in some cases a 0 mana frost nova depending on board state. 5/5
4 Mana 7/7
This will be an excellent card especially with the new mage legendary.
I see this as sort of a replacement for Ray of Frost, but cheaper at the cost of being able to choose what to freeze. That being said, Ray of Frost is a pretty favorable comparison considering how prevalent the card was during its standard rotation. I think it is important to keep in mind that Flurry (Rank 1) is arguably and comparably worse at its first rank, but having the same or more output in its later ranks with its cheaper cost will allow you to develop more with your freeze than Ray of Frost could offer.
For glory, honor, and gold!
I'm really unsure how those ranked spells will play out. At least they don't have to sit in your hand to gain their power, but the fact that their final and optimal version only comes at turn 9-10 is ... pretty slow, I don't know.
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this actually won't be powerful. In its 'intended deck', anyway. There will not be a 'freeze minions and destroy them' archetype, because that isn't a deck. There's no payoff. Maybe freeze minions to reach an OTK or freeze minions to build up pressure through another mechanic, though... And in that sense, I think this makes a very, very good opener with Mana Wyrm. I'll be looking forward to Tempo Mage.
Better call Thrall!
If you're consistently going to be able to get rid of smaller minions to negate the randomness this will be an amazing card. If not, this might feel underwhelming. I don't think you'll ever want to play this before turn 5 either. Otherwise, it's just a worse Freezing Potion, and that card never saw any play either.
Arena > Wild > Standard
I mean its sorta insane having what can in many cases be a full board freeze for 0 mana in the late game. The other two forms are less insane but they are still fine in a pinch if you just need to keep the enemy off your ass. On top of that this has synergy with the Mage Legendary from Scholomance Academy and any other effects that are spell burst or spell cast dependant.
Good one, looking at the other cards we've seen so far and what we have
I'm not online it's just your imagination
Another Freeze card for Mage. I guess they really want to revive the fan-favorite Freeze Mage archetype huh.
rank 1 -> meh. rank 2 and 3 are very good in combination with the new legendary
They try to recreate Freeze mage, but with a different flavor)
Staple in freeze mage archetype
A nice new board freeze.
At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit.
Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.
i really thought we were leaving freeze mage. nope guess not
good card
Kenny's little poet. 😇
So much freeze could very easily break wild, sheesh. Pure speculation: out of the big 3 (mage, priest and warlock), ironically only secret mage seems like a counter with its burn, and this could easily make wild into Magestone: Freeze vs. Burn. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
Beautiful Freeze, one of these days we'll have a 'Every minion on enemy board Frozen ever turn' achievement.
The effect isn't very powerful, but 0-mana cards almost always see play. Putting these here for reference:
Flurry (Rank 1)
Flurry (Rank 2)
Flurry (Rank 3)
Strong, but I really dislike the abundance of Freeze effects. Can't force myself to like this one, sorry.
0 mana is always good/strong, but the card is just ok. Playable in every phase of the game
Quite good with the new legendary
Its real value is that it costs 0 mana... other than that it is not too exciting. A shame Doomsayer is rotating.
We are getting so much freeze support in standard.
This having 0 mana will surely find a place.
Freeze is useless
Random is undesirable
0 mana is amazing
Together, below average
Glacier racer stops crying for frostbolt when saw this
For The HORDE!
Freezeeeeeee, freeze them alllll
And them combo :)
Mozaki mage has a chance?? Probably unlikely without apprentice.
the only rank up spell that i don't really like
Ok card.
VERY strong - the potential to freeze 3 miniions for 0 is stunning
good
Freezing Potion, but it gets better later in the game. I don't think anyone would want to put this intentionally into their deck, but with Ray of Frost gone this could be useful from Discover to stall out your opponent while trying to find your more powerful finishers.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
Insane, 0 mana and that kind of effect! Think that we see nert to 1 or 2 mana cost
Good stalling tool, specially given that it's free. Will see play in spell Mage decks for sure
It can't be targeted or staggered over multiple rounds like Ray of Frost.
Ez freeze
Frost Nova had to die for this
nothing good about it except 0 mana
I was sort of looking forward for AOE Freezes leaving standard, being someone who doesn't play Mage frequently. But, I guess I'm okay with this.
Can be a top-pick in discover cards.
Cheap freeze spell for mage.
Control decks will love this. 'Random' doesn't mean random when you pick off your opponent's board to get it to the right size for this. I don't see it being a problem card, but it's good.
Welcome to the site!
Good with other frost support, but it doesnt seem all that powerful.
Just like the paladin multi-level spell, I dislike that this is random. But just like all of the other multi-level cards, I love that it scales up over time. And the fact that it costs 0 mana is insane!
