Do you like the bad guys? Do you like control decks? Do you like to mess with your opponent’s plans? We have already seen some cards that will help with these strategies. And this one will fit right in with your hearts desire.

This Victor is very thematic. Almost like you walked into his domain and all of your characters are now frozen. Now, how did this guy begin?

The story behind Dr. Victor Fries was that his wife was terminally ill and there was no cure. Dr. Fries worked hard on building a cryogenic machine (you know, the tank they put Ted Williams’ head in) to freeze his wife until a cure could be found. When the owner of the company finds out what Fries is doing, he tries to take the beloved Nora out of the tank. During the ensuing struggle, the chemicals are dumped on Victor who survives, but now must live with a body temperature of 50 degrees below 0. Since bad guys are all about revenge, Fries went after the owner, but Batman interfered and when Victor shot his freeze gun at Batman, the bat reflexes kicked in for the acrobatic dodge and the freeze gun broke Nora’s tank. Of course this is Batman’s fault and Fries swore revenge on Gotham’s hero. So, Victor Fries took the name Mr. Zero in order to better serve his nefarious schemes. This was his debut in 1959.

In the television series, George Sanders started out as Mr. Freeze. It was actually the TV series that inspired the name change in the comics. Eventually George went crazy, much like the villain he was playing, and committed suicide leaving the following note, “Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool.” I found this to be very intriguing for a guy who played the role of a psychotic killer. Art imitating life or life imitating art?

How does this relate to Vs cards? The first incarnation of Freeze on the cardboard walkway was a 6 drop who froze a char in place anytime he attacked a target char or defended against a target char. The next Freeze card imitated George Sanders in that anytime he became stunned, his vengeance kicked in and a target char with cost 5 or less couldn’t ready this turn. Then finally Freeze even started targeting his own guys as characters adjacent to him can’t ready. Still don’t see the pattern? Well, in the movies, Arnold Schwarzenegger took over the roll of Mr. Freeze. And in that movie he had this quote, “No matter what they tell you Mr. Bane, it is the size of your gun that matters.” This card has a big gun. He freezes everyone an opponent controls. In past Secret Society decks, there has been no problem with getting 10 cards in the KO pile. And in today’s environment, you could have your whole deck in the KO pile by turn 6. The place where I really see this card being great is in the Spidey/Herald stall. Notice that there is not a loyalty restriction holding you back. There is no team stamp on the cards you have to remove. I never found a great 6 drop in the spidey/herald stall, and this card will fit the bill nicely. With Spidey and Freeze on the field, there should be no more attacks from your opponent.

Wow thats freaking insane. Good stuff

Hmm..... the point of this card is to have exhausted opponents on turn 7? So..... this is either a stallish option OR SS have a stallish theme! AND you need to activate him, so your giving up all offencive power on turn 6 TOO....

Good, powerful and really does require you to have spent some time and effort filling your KOd pile.

But it will only see play if SS intend to stall 7+


Also, combined with 5 drop Killer Frost, we have a very sexy duo..... (maybe even add in Ice from JLI for a team up..... Add in chilly reception... and 3 drop captain cold....


Ice flow nowhere to go
Ice flow nowhere to go
Lost in the blinding whiteness of the tundra

I’m little Johnny Frostbite moving around
Freezin’ you up, freezing you down
Like an icicle
Comin’ in your tent like a cold night scissor bite
Arctic death
Infinite night

They call me tundra boy because
I move like an arctic lizzard
When the Blizzard strikes
I disappear like a pipedream
All that’s left is the gleam
Of a tent peg

Boosh, Boosh, Stronger than a moose
Don’t lock your doors or we’ll come through your roof top
Stop look around take your mind off the floor
Because The Boosh is loose and we’re a little bit RAW!

Ice, flow, nowhere to go
Ice, flow, nowhere to go
Lost in the blinding whiteness of the tundraaaaaaa!

This is definitely going into my Heralds/Inhumans deck.

*wub*

I agree that the cost is high. I can't really judge whether or not he will be worth it until I see what kind of support cards are out there. I assume it won't be hard to get 10 cards in your KO pile given that SS already has plenty of support to do this.

But, you are activating, it is late in the game and there may be other effects you would like to play that require you to remove cards from your KO'd pile.

It's a good, powerful effect. But the cost is pretty high. Unless this fits into a specific strategy, you're probably better off with straight combat.

This card is insane...

I love it!!

It's a solid card, but I personally prefer Deathstroke at that drop. I <3 KO.

Based on Freeze's ability, they want to open up your opponent for a turn 7 victory; most likely having Grodd as the finisher. No readying=no reinforcement =D

But I do believe Deathstroke is slightly better, especially in multiplayer scenarios; you can choose not to stun the highest drop just so that it is KO'd during recovery; meaning Deathstroke cheesin' time!

Speaking from years of experience in multiplayer CCG games, Deathstroke may well be a death trap in multiplayer.

The hate drawn by what is effectively reusable, indiscriminate removal is pretty substantial.

I think he is going in my morlocks. Make sure turn 7 is safe.

Crimpity, Crimpity Wow!

I love the boosh.
