ART: Zanzarino IDEA: Concept : Zanzarino Made into card by : Thalas NOTES: Freeze for Permanents Stacks as Zanzarino said And because it stacks number of times you can use this skill in one turn is equal to number of SoB's in the stack Freezing is Cumulative SERIES: Coming 8 Shards

quick tip on the names: the series is the shards of virtue, and the names are derived from virtues.  i get that these are not submissions to the competition, but you may as well pick appropriate virtues for the shard names

Un-shard this, make it a water permanent with random quanta cost, increase the quanta cost a bit, and it's good.

 A note from your friendly neighborhood curator EDIT: There was a misunderstanding, previous notice was removed. But please note that since you have posted this in the smithy already, you cannot use this in the competition.

I'd hate to point it out but shards have been suggested before, and though it is a Shard and a competition is going on, it doesn't mean a Shard should be unable to be suggested out of competition.

Zanzarino's attention may be swayed, but those in the competition should know that there is no guarantee for the winning entry.

Questionable move on behalf of the Curators.

Taken care of.

I do the very opposite, I make this mass-pc-spell probably targeting 4 random opponent's permanents and freezing them for 3 turns. and Freezes 7 if you have Flooding
something like that, because shards should be usable be every element.

I don't like so much virtues, I already thought about all shards names, but I take it into account. Maybe Cold heart?

Personally, I don't like this idea as a shard. The entire concept of a shard is that the unupgraded version does absolutely nothing but waste quanta, then becomes much greater as an upgraded card. Shards were also never known to favor elements of any sort, but used universally.

I'm no curator, but I hold a vote. If this were to be entered to the Crucible as is, it wouldn't have mine.

Possible improvements have been listed above. I see this as more of a permanent water card. It definitely fits into the water element in that it immobilizes a target for a temporary amount of time, yet is versatile in that it can switch targets as necessary. A cost of 3/2 to play the permanent, then 1 to use the effect seems reasonable, in my opinion. As for the name, Cold Heart fits well.

Other name suggestions:
-Cold Wind.
-Arctic Climate
-Frost
-Sleet Cannon

xBerzerk, have you seen Zanz's chat log about making a shard relative to each element, or the new shard in development?
