Tips

In World of Warcraft: Trading Card Game.

• Mind Freeze can be very useful when playing against casters. See Tips and tactics for information on using interrupts.
• This ability was mentioned in the April Fools' Day patch 6.1.4 Evil Patch Notes: "Mind Freeze now renders the target unconscious and causes them to slowly turn to ice, unless you erase their memory of the incident and spend the rest of your life in seclusion." This is a reference to the movie Frozen.
