Fixing Freijord
Freijord remains the absolute best region in the game, I think we all know that.
You can spend somewhere between 3-5 mana to frostbite something which is a strictly worse stun or bounce
You can spend 4 mana to possibly mystic shot more then one thing
and you can overpay on ramp
All that with your only hard removal option buried in ice being an astounding 9 mana
Even if you play the list optimally and run something proper like captain arnika at 8 you're still basically instantly loosing on tempo, or on control.
Essentially the worse case scenario.
So how do you fix the objectively best region in the game?
Give them wincons that win?
Give them control tools that control?
Give them tempo tools that tempo?
Basically anything really that would allow it to compete on the try hard scale that we seem to be inundated with in this game.
Don't get me wrong two years ago avalanche may have been okay, frostbite may have been okay, but by todays standards unplayable.
I want to say that a 2 mana ice shards is a step in the right direction and it is, but everything else is a joke.

Freljord has plenty of win cons what they need is tools to stabilise until they can use them, giving the region better removal or better healing should do the trick.
dude everyone knows freijord is terrible it's like a meme.
like just objectively ******* awful
Like omg even the best players in the world can just manage to swing a minority of games with this over costed garbage
Like this is coming from the guy defending vlad so you know its true
You're pretty much better playing anything other then a Freijord dominated list, and certainly not a Freijord control list most of all
There is a Tahm Kench list that isn't awful where you just Aram and then hope you R and G into a better region wincon like Lee Sin but wait I kinda just proved my point
Wow you guys are really proving my point with this whole lets build a shurima deck and jam Aram
Like yeah we already mentioned that you can pull better cards out of other regions with r and g.
You can even buff those cards from other regions
But are you winning with frejiord at that point at all.
What is your wincon ask yourself that...idiots
