Force 0-strength creatures to attack

[zakal]

I agree with it being balanced for the most part.  However, I think that creatures that had damage prevented by an ice shield, (1 str blocked by ice shield,) should still have a chance to freezing.  It makes no sense to me that they tried to attack, the shield engaged and prevented it, but there is no chance they will get frozen.  If the touched the shield, they should have a chance of freeze.  0 str creatures should be the only ones that don't attack at all in my opinion. 

This is pretty minor though, and I don't use an ice shield in any decks, so I can't say I care all that much either way.

The shield is there for all to see. Why would they bother with attacking when they know their damage will be blocked? Makes perfect sense to me.

That is a valid opinion, and it does make sense.  Wouldn't a 1 health creature see the fire shield and not bumble to it's death also?  Opinions of the logical action of a creature in a given situation are fine, but I am talking more about current game mechanics. 

There is no way for a player or creature to decide not to attack.  Therefore, I would assume that the 1 str creature did attack and the damage was blocked, thus the 1 str creature bounced off of the shield yet did not freeze.
