I am really liking all the Mage/Rogue hybrids. The idea the you have a number of "free" spells in Rogue already makes this worth it since it is bringing the freeze aspect to that class on top of their Sap shenanigans seems to make this an ideal candidate for most Rogue builds.
For Mage, it encourages you to run smaller cost cards. The freeze ability is at home with Mage, but needing to play multiple cards to trigger the combo effect makes it less appealing for Mage to run it. Although, with [Hearthstone Card (Incanter's Flow) Not Found], this could be included in most decks simply because it them becomes a (0) mana freeze option that could potentially deal more damage with Ray of Frost.
I am not sure if this is worth a deck slot. If you are Rogue, you have Backstab for cheap damage and Sap for kind of freeze. If you are Mage, you have Ray of Frost and Frostbolt
I see this new card being worse than all of the above.
Cheaper Frostbolt that can't go face the only time i see it being just freeze is when you need to freeze big Edwin VanCleef on early turn and have no other cheap cards...

My favorite golden animation so far.
I initially thought this card would be auto-include in both classes, but I'm not so sure after seeing the rest of the expansion.
The card is definitely solid, but I'm not sure it will make the cut in any non-freeze Mage lists.
Cool, yet frustrating idea.
Team 5 is killing slowly face damage spells, but it's ok for delaying a high threat minion
Awesome card for both classes!
