Notes
- Spell Damage increases Blizzard's damage dealt to each target. A single point of Spell Damage will therefore cause Blizzard to deal three damage to each enemy minion, instead of two.
- Blizzard deals its area of effect damage first, and then applies its Freeze effect as a separate event. This means that an enemy minion resulting from an effect triggered by the damage will be Frozen, but not damaged itself. This has been confirmed as working correctly.[1]
Strategy
Blizzard's mass-freeze mechanic coupled with its 2 AoE damage can make it a deadly mass-removal card. Keep in mind that freeze only affects a minion's ability to attack, and silencing a frozen minion will remove the freeze effect.
Trivia
- This card's flavor text is a self-reference to Hearthstone's developer, Blizzard Entertainment.
