I don’t think to Build a Snowman is as bad as how people are putting it. Think of it as Pyros where you have a 2/2, a 6/6 and a 10/10 Phoenix. Build a Snowman is an exact idea, but you freeze instead. I think having 1 Trim, and even for Quest mage is actually one of the more genius things you can do, since you want to fasten your quest, and for the most part, Mages only really have 2 Frost Spells: Ice Barrier and Brain Freeze, and rarely is flurry ever used because you use it for the stake of forcing your quest to level up, and getting Dawngrasp with basically 1 card left in your hand.
I’m going to be Confident with Build a Snowman: 4 Stars. I would even wager that Build a Snowman is a near-universal deck for Mage too. If Pyro can do it, so can Build a Snowman.
Other than drawing Build a SNowman late, or believing that “It’s too slow”, Build a Snowman literally has the same Flaws as Pyros, and Pyros is a Legendary.
Wasting 6 mana to summon 6/6, and another 9 mana for 9/9?
Nope. There’s a lot better card for this.
The Frost spell addition for the QL mage is a thing, but if a zero cost random freeze is more than enough to finish the job, adding a 3 cost frost spell is not a smart move.
Frost Shield Secret is waaaay better.
I mean, sometimes it’s a good discover to finish off your questline. With mage’s limited pool of frost spells in standard it might be just good enough to start running in place of another spell.
Pyros is in shambles. Not saying much though, 2/5.
