7 seems a bit much for freezing 1 creature per turn. Arctic Squid CONGEALS 1 creature per turn for 1 :water

Actually its 2 :water also....

1. Arctic squid is a creature and so is targetable by CC and also has very low HP so that it doesnt last long.
2. Arctic squid cant use its ability the first turn
3. Arctic squid has to keep casting it every turn (after 3 turns or so it ends up costing more)

That being said, arctic squid gets you to target which you hit. Also by making the cost so high it would likely limit its use to mono water or at best dual decks which is a shame. Perhaps 6, but you can't go much lower without it becoming OP.

This could be very powerful if combined with arctic squids, so if an attack slips through it too is frozen. But I question is water needs yet another way to freeze - it has freeze/icebolt/iceshield/arctic squid already. But could make an interesting addition - after all its not above PC
All that being said, I still think it should be lowered to 6|6

I think it should also be stated in the wording that it only affects your opponents creatures. Could :water creatures be immune?
SO can you clarify why its called arena? because that doesnt make sense to me either.

It freezes the first creature that attacks on your turn as well.

Also, even if it didn't, it would still be called arena. Check the notes: Only one can be in play at a time.

Why can you only play one at a time? Why can't it just be like Shard of Patience, where you can play as many as you want, but the effects won't stack?

Check the notes. The Arena set of cards have a special effect.

Oh, I thought that what was originally there meant "destroy if something new comes up on either sides" already.

And I do agree on a cost decrease. In my previous post, I was only thinking about the card being OP, but 1 :water or more cost decrease seems appropriate.

Very nice card.  Very powerful, but the fact that it affects both players helps balance it.  My favourite part is that it would freeze SoW-immortal creatures :p
