Awesome card, but there are only two decent Hunter secrets in standard atm (Explosive Trap and Pack Tactics). One more good secret and you will be seeing this for the rest of the year I bet.
Edit: Forgot to mention that this adds progress to Defend the Dwarven District.
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.

This is actually something that can be tested right now. Anyone with a copy of Moorabi can try to freeze a minion twice and see if they get two copies or one.
Pretty sure they said something during Scholomance’s expansion cycle that it would get updates while in Standard but likely would not once in Wild.
Can’t remember if they had a distinct plan but if they don’t update it the new boards after AV will probably just be “Battlecry: Discover a card from (set).” with (set) being whatever set that board is from.
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.
That's actually worth noticing - it says enemy, not minion. Might sound gimmicky but even Invocation of Frost can freeze face. Repeatability is the key though and in the video it seemed that once snowball jumps to the frozen minion, the effect was triggered. Gotta wait for final confirmation.
Its scary if you have a bunch of freeze minions on board like the tokens from Bearon Gla'shear, but otherwise its a fairly dead card in hand. All this leads me to believe that there is at least one more frost spell that freezes left unrevealed, and its likely that that card might be able to target face. Without such a card, this one is just all bark and no teeth.
Curious to know if you repeatedly hit a target with a freeze spell (like perhaps double Frost Shock to the face) will this deal damage for each, or will the damage only register once per frozen target.
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.

Okaay, just lost my bet in one of reddit’s questionnaire...I just predicted “no” for that card getting the Honorable Kill. Felt like a moron lel.
For the card, would rather have defensive options like divine shield, etc. But the battlecry will do some good job I guess.
I wish this card was 3 mana so we can have more flexible stats/effects. Or a new card with more random effect like this one? I hope so, just not another Puzzle Box.

I'm assuming the Hero card has something to do with Secrets or else this whole thing seems entirely pointless.

New Hunter Spell - Spring the Trap
New hunter cards seem to be pushing secret hunter. Seems decent if you can run a critical mass off secrets in your deck.
I wonder if there will be a new secret this expansion.

All my Freeze Shaman jokes and maybe, MAYBE, it could be a decent meme deck with one more decent freeze card/synergy after this one.

Freeze shaman lol. They are really pushing the archetype.
Not a bad card if it gets support, but looks bad right now.

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