Because, I can say that freeze in general is imo OP. Spamming it with no return is very powerful, hence such card being a rare, though I feel it needs another step in that direction, by adding some defensive qualities to the target affected.
Didn't really want to post in this topic, but this is nonsense.
If Freeze is overpowered, what is basilisk blood? Gamebreaking?
I think Freeze is, in many ways, more potent than Basilisk Blood, though it doesn't get as much respect. There are 4 cards that can or do freeze an enemy creature. Only 2 cards do BB, and one is a Nymph. Though it only lasts half as long as BB(or 2/3 with congeal), it's much easier, given the right circumstances (squid with quint/no CC) to lock down several enemy creatures with one or two of your own creatures. Add in the synergy with shockwave, lack of +def like BB has, I think Freeze is an undervalued ability.
I'm not sure what the proposed change in the topic would do to Freeze in the big picture. Sounds like a slight nerf more than a buff. You rarely want to freeze your own creatures unless they've been anti-mattered or something.
