Bump. Curators, if I could get this stickied I would appreciate it - it's hard to compile people's opinions when the poll keeps getting pushed two pages back.

Overview
A chill seeps into the opponent as his weapon is frozen by the coldness of Winter (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,17926.0.html). As a card, it offers Water another source of PC as well as giving it another weapon that it can use in different decks.

General Use

• Winter deals 5 damage each turns as a weapon. When Animated, it's stats become 5 | 4.
• Winter has a 50% chance to freeze it's opponent's weapon instead of attacking. Freezing does not stack.
• The enemy weapon is frozen by the ability, not weapon slot, so the freeze can be removed by playing a new weapon or destroying the weapon.

Synergies

Something unexpected might happen, and it will happen fast. Shockwave instantly destroys the opponent's weapon when it targets the opponent, which makes a very good synergy between and as you can permanently get rid of the weapon that otherwise would have to be refrozen. With Winter freezing the enemy weapon continuously,  this means you do not have to use repeated Ice Bolts either, allowing for a much more efficient combo in bolt decks.

Draw your blade -- or someone else's blade, for that matter -- and step boldly into the fray. Crusader allows you to completely lockdown the opponent's weapon by having repeated "freeze strikes" everytime it defrosts - and you can endow the frozen weapon as well to reap it's benefits.

Your caution will be rewarded when your biggest annoyances are held at bay for a time. Even if you're holding down your opponent's weapon, you still have to deal with creatures. Permafrost Shield can freeze the creatures that you're having problems with, while you play cards like Ice Dragon to increase your damage output and Shockwave to shatter all the frozen enemies.

Other Cards With Synergy

• Protect Artifact (http://elementscommunity.org/wiki/cards-earth/enchant-artifact-protect-artifact/) - It may seem like an odd choice, but a card that has a powerful denial skill like this will probably be the target of control cards like Deflagration (http://elementscommunity.org/wiki/cards-fire/deflagration-explosion/) and Steal (http://elementscommunity.org/wiki/cards-darkness/steal-improved-steal/). With Protect Artifact, you can make sure your Winter has a better chance to do it's job.

So thanks for voting and viewing this card idea! Who knows - maybe you'll use Winter someday to kill an Eternity stall.

Actually Zblader, SG was 'technically' the one who made the Original Featured Cards format (I just began writing the articles once she saw that old ones seemed to bulky and had the 'wall-of-text' effect without the separated categories). So you should really give the credit to SG. Just saying. ^^;


That said, this topic is going much better than I expected. I'll try not to be too biased when voting (assuming I can make up my mind). ^^;

Thanks for letting me know, I'll add SG to the credits list. And thanks for the support!

Rectify seemed one of the best choices IMHO, since many times have I wished that I had that one last card that my opponent Fire Lanced last turn to win the match.

Dragon Power also seemed original. Just 'cause I haven't really thought of dragons having abilities. You know, dragons in mythology are these big flying lizards that eat people and don't, you know, teleport or something clever like that. They just never seem to do.
