Seems weak. IT's just Man the Cannons, but more expensive and with a Freeze on the enemy you deal the most damage to (which makes the Freeze effect less relevant early on)
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
This seems like a 1 mana cheaper Swipe with 1 less damage, but it freezes. This seems good to me honestly. Swipe has historically been decent, so the only reason i can see this NOT getting played is if this card is too fair and DK can do more broken things instead. Which knowing how DH launched might be the case.
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
I thought this might be overpowered and then it dawns on me that we're actually paying 3 mana to do a mini Swipe. The freeze potential might be moot because if youre casting this on something that doesn't just die immediately then surely your already on the back foot and the freeze is only a momentary bandage. There's just better freeze cards like Icy Touch that's simply better than this card.
But the fact that it does freeze something means its an option off discovers. I just dont think it'll be an inclusion into decks.
