Magic Deep Freeze Stunned and Frozen. Duration: 5 seconds

Deep Freeze is a level 66 Frost mage ability. It stuns a target for 4 seconds, and causes the target to be considered Frozen for the duration of its stun, turning it into yet another tool for mages to perform [Shatter] combos with. Deep Freeze can only be used on Frozen targets, although the Frost passive [Fingers of Frost] provides additional opportunities.

Tips and tactics

Deep Freeze card in Hearthstone.

• This spell is perhaps best used at the very end of a [Frost Nova] to maximize the opponent's [Shatter]-able and stationary time and minimize the risk of them trinketing the effect right away.
• Can be somewhat reliably used as an interrupt when coupled with [Fingers of Frost]. Note, however that this spell is not off the GCD.
• Subject to diminishing returns in the controlled stun category (such as [Cheap Shot]) and [Frost Nova], [Frostjaw] and [Shattered Barrier] will not diminish the results of Deep Freeze. It also shares diminishing returns with [Ring of Frost].
