Card of the Day: Ice Block

Our Card of the Day is the Mage's life saving secret, capable of giving you the comeback opportunity you need.

PROS: It is one of the best secrets to have when you are in lethal range. It completely ruins all-ins, like the Shaman's [card]Bloodlust[/card] or the Druid's [card]Force of Nature[/card] plus [card]Savage Roar[/card]. It is a great one-off for Frost Mage decks as an emergency button, or any Mage deck in general, due to the class' natural tendency to lean towards control. With its low mana cost, you could cast it with other cards such as a big minion or a strong sweep like [card]Flamestrike[/card]

CONS: This card is extremely situational. If you don't know how to read the situation, you might be die before you could even cast it. Classes like Rogue and Hunter that have insane nova potential with minimal setup could give you trouble if you keep waiting. Cast it early, and you could lose tempo, allow your opponent to either set up better threats or rush you down. Finally, being an epic, there are other cards that are more valuable for its rarity, thus making it at most a niche craft.
