New Shaman Minion - Cheaty Snobold

Might be good with [Hearthstone Card (Snowball Fight) Not Found], but Shaman is gonna need a lot more and a lot better freezing spells for this to see any amount of play.

Looks decent but without knowing the other frost spells there's no way of telling whether it's good.

Probably not that great unless there's at least 2 more unrevealed cards that feature freeze and can freeze face. Fact is that if Glacial Shard and Frost Shock is in standard then this card may be core. But as it stands, its kinda bad. Freeze effects are by default a stall option, and being able to deal additional damage may not always be what you want.

Pretty sure there's at least one more spell that freezes from shaman, and chances are you can target face with it. If so, then this card is still salvageable. But until then its likely just a no.

I'm feeling bullish on Cheaty Snobold. The key thing about this card is that it reads "After an enemy is Frozen", so its damage can go face. Right now there's not a ton of effects that can take advantage of this in Standard Shaman (basically just Frozen Shadoweaver), but it means this effectively doubles the damage output of the Frozen Stagguard's you generate off of Bearon Gla'shear's battlecry. It also has obvious powerful synergy with Snowball Fight!, turning a solid stalling tool into a powerful (albeit somewhat random) board clear.

Obviously it remains to be seen whether Shaman will get enough Freeze support in its other spells to make this package work, but even just the three cards we've seen so far make me think it's going to be solid. If nothing else, Wild Freeze Shaman is finally shaping up to be a real deck.

Freeze face. Deal 3 damage to Face.

We'll know more about the strength of this card once the rest of Shaman's Freeze package (if there is a "rest of Shaman's Freeze package") is revealed. Right now, it doesn't have enough support tools to be worth running. I doubt we get any cheap freeze effects that go face (at least, nothing cheaper than Frozen Shadoweaver), so this probably lands in some Control Freeze Shaman that uses the effect to more reliably control the board? If something is already Frozen, does getting hit with a Freeze effect still trigger this, or is that not considered "freezing" it? We'll see, likely won't be big for right now.

I know you all don't care about me since I'm very absent from this forum. But this made me smile since I have a minion with an exact effect like that, it just cost 1 less mana and it's Elemental. It's from September 2018.

It's something for myself to be proud of... and it's 2nd time I got it correct. My first one was an EVIL totem with everything exact except it was a neutral card. It is a mechanical parrot that copies lackey's voice every time it gets added to your hand. Can't wait to get another similar card for the 3rd time!

For this card review, it is a decent card... but we just need one more good frost spells, especially one more frost AoE spell!

I want to like this, but again, it will require you to spend a great deal of your deck focused on frost, which while this expansion seems to support, there isn't enough so far to really validate it

Nice combo with Snowball Fight! and Popsicooler but there's easier ways to clear the board. I'm sure we'll get more frost and freeze effects for shaman though

At this rate, Frost Shamy will be supported for the end of 2022's standard rotation

I like this. Reminds me of Glacier Racer in a way. This is also really good with Snowball Fight!, as the effect on this only hits enemies.

Arena: Especially nice with along with some frost spells, but not essential since it already has a vanilla statline.

Constructed: Best Frost Shaman card after Snowball Fight!. Mandatory card for that deck.

Sure looks like Team 5 is trying to make freeze Shaman a thing. Remains to be seen if it will be this expansion, or sometime in the future. Maybe even the mini-set.

Amazing synergy with Bearon Gla'shear and Snowball Fight! but other than that we need to see more support for it. I'm pretty sure that each time you freeze you technically refreshe the freeze, which means you can deal more than 3 damage on one turn, doubling the damage from Frozen Stagguards So Cheaty Snobold can probably act as either a big board clear, with Snowball Fight! or together with other freeze stuff as some kind of Bloodlust. 

Cheaty Snobold seems very good, but it lacks synergy. Unless we see more good frost spells, it wont see play.

Very strong combo with Windchill and any other source of freezing. It's like a busted duels freeze mage, but for shaman

Decent card.  Will be hard to say if this is better or worse than simply running lightning storm though.

It can go face - waiting for a meme deck video of lethal with Frost Shock

I think this looks pretty good. There are several freeze effects in this expansion and this guy costs low enough that it is a reasonable combo with many of them. The combo with Snowball Fight! or Snowfall Guardian seems worth freezing your own stuff too.

I wonder if Snowball Fight! would stop casting if this card killed the minion it hit? I'd honestly have to seee it in action, I could see Hearthstone going either way with it.

Might just be next turn's Bloodlust for Bearon Gla'shear, but I think that's fine. Solid support for a potentially strong deck.

Seems good in Freeze Shaman. When will Kobolds get their own tribe keyword?

Given how many freeze effects Shaman is getting access to, this seems like a very strong card. Good stats on top of that, too.
