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.
