Guess My Card! A Quickdraw Design Game

Don't get too distracted by the beef.

Welcome to Guess My Card, a fairly straightforward competition made in the interest of testing card designer's wits. The rules here are fairly simple:

1) The host creates a card idea, hidden from everyone else. Your objective is to design a card that matches the host's card as much as possible.
2) To aid your quest, the host will give 3 hints about the card. Hints should have some relation to each other in terms of design: for example, you won't help your contestants much if you just say the card has a, e, and i in it's name, but a combination of hints like "The card is hot and cold" and "the card has no attack" should give a relative indication of what the card is like.
3) All players post on the thread their designs after 10 minutes have passed: your goal is to create a card during those 10 minutes! You can post earlier than that, but beware giving other players ideas! (spoiler your cards if possible)
After that, the host then judges compared to his/her actual card. The host then judges and selects the winning player based on who came closest to matching the host's card. Text-only cards and card images are both fair game here; no art or formatting is required. You can post just the unupgraded version, but be aware that it may cause difficulty to a host that has made both unupped and upped versions of a card.
4) The winner becomes the next host/selects a new host, and the game continues. Good luck, and have fun, because here's round 1!
==============================================
Round 1

Hints:
1) Thou shalt not draw blood of another being with this card...
2) ...but thou shalt hold thy card in thy right. It does not fit the left.
3) How shalt thou stop the enemy warriors while sparing their lives?

Time's up!

No typo, casting Freeze|Congeal is free

Spoiler for Additional solution:
As I said, the first hint lends it two meanings.

A weapon that does not draw blood...is a blunt weapon. Thus, I present you

Okay, whether Eternity is blunt or not is debatable  ;D

Time's up. Igor would like you to meet his blunt friend...


Comparing the other cards:
theelkspeaks: The cost is almost spot-on (you were basically one element off) and themes of nonlethal are implied to be similar. Heck, I'd say this was better designed than what I'd whipped up in the span of five minutes prior to starting this competition.
Treldon: Eternity is a spaceship :P That aside, this also ends up being a pretty good rendition of the card I had in mind. Freeze on a stick for no cost does concern me somewhat, though, but it has a way of bogging a creature down similar to Peacemaker's that doesn't cost anything. I suppose a good way to say it is that Peacemaker would take longer to have major impact, whereas Icicle implies you'll  virtually control 3-4 creatures right away. Could be very useful in Flooding decks, too.
Opsinis:Shields are the slot on the left, sorry. :( The card's balance is also difficult to place, especially when you consider this + Protect Artifact.
MeowMeowCat: Hm, not quite what I expected, especially when I said no blood :P It's a quirky take on the idea though... could be worrisome in Catapult decks.

The results are in!
1st - theelkspeaks, for not only getting the cost right (and the element nearly so), but also for probably doing a better job at representing negating the attack of a single creature than I should've.
2nd - Treldon - A close call, indeed; slightly more off in theme but a well-made design in its own right.
3rd - MeowMeowCat - A bit more breakable than the above two entries and cuts it close to theme, but it does get the job done!
Honorable mention to Opsinis, for getting the element right!

Round 2:

Hints:
1) I erupt uncontrollably whenever in play, but I can take the heat.
2) My opponent's rage, however, can strike me down with a precise strike.
3) When you see me, you'll be thinking "Jackpot!"

"1) I erupt uncontrollably whenever in play, but I can take the heat." It's a Volcano, man. No explanation needed.
"2) My opponent's rage, however, can strike me down with a precise strike." It has 5 hp, so it's kill-able by one Rage Potion.
"3) When you see me, you'll be thinking "Jackpot!"' It randomly "awards" Fire Bolts to creatures, much like a slot machine jackpot does with money.
