Might easily turn out to be a good card in most Mage decks, but Frost Nova on a stick feels quite uninspired to me. Maybe I'm just too greedy as Mage already got Mordresh Fire Eye so its ok to have a solid-but-not-flashy second legendary.
Good idea but the devil is in the details. Will the cost be adjusted to account for cards you already own or do you just get duplicates? When during the expansion cycle will the decks be made available? How do they find competitive decks? If they wait for such decks to establish themselves in the meta, we're more likely to have some of the cards by then. Duplicate rares and commons probably don't matter to most players, but duplicate epics and legendaries are a sore spot for me.
Still I like the idea if only as an alternative means of getting specific legendaries.
Definitely seems promising but I don't see this "freeze" package slotting into the same deck as Mordresh Fire Eye. The freeze options available to us currently kinda look more control oriented, so should be interesting what mage can do once expansion launches.
Definitely an interesting legendary, but difficult to evaluate as we've hardly had much murlocs support since RoS. Least there's Magicfin that can potentially generate another Flurgl, chance would be higher with the smaller card pool but still very inconsistent
Not sure why the Risky Skipper comparisons. This guy doesn't kill your own board -- that's all the difference in the world.
Murlocs ... are going to be a problem. At least Flurgl is a legendary. As long as there's no way to tutor him, their ability to clear boards will be somewhat inconsistent.
I see this as a Shaman version of Risky Skipper. For Warrior, it's often favorable to damage your own board too, but for Shaman it is not. That's why the Shaman version of Risky Skipper would not damage your own board, hence the comparison.
@IksarHS Can you talk a little about the theory behind Freeze Shaman back in the day?
We made the call it had fairly negative gameplay too late to redesign the archetype. How weak we ended up making it was overkill but to make it weak at all was intentional.
IMO it was reasonably fun to play (when the cards were pushed in power level) but could feel pretty miserable to be on the opposite end.
Soooooo.... here are some more freeze effects for y'all to enjoy!

New Shaman Minion - Firemancer Flurgl
Strong card. If you can generate more kind op..
New Druid Spell - Living Seed (Rank 1)
I like the idea behind Beast Druid, as long as it will diversify meta.
New Druid Spell - Mark of the Spikeshell
Worse than Paladin version hand of adal, beast synergy is OK
New Mage Minion - Varden Dawngrasp
Overall great card.

Early AoE, imagine with bloom and token druid is done in first turn after a full board of Gibberlings.

Yeah, the first thing that comes to my mind - Greybough)

New Mage Minion - Varden Dawngrasp
I think it will find its place in some control decks for sure)
New Mage Minion - Varden Dawngrasp
yet another boardclear. is team5 going overboard on the number of ways we can now clear the board?
New Shaman Minion - Firemancer Flurgl
I can hear the Murloc song playing.
It would've been already strong if it was only enemy minions. On top of that, it goes face.
Clear the enemy's board while building your board? Sign me up.
New Shaman Minion - Firemancer Flurgl
even more love to murlocs , if they can now add a generator of murlocs, that archetype could actually work
New Shaman Minion - Firemancer Flurgl
Oh yeah, another great Murloc for shaman)
New Mage Minion - Varden Dawngrasp
Freeze mage in wild will be hot
New Shaman Minion - Firemancer Flurgl
