Is Azuki’s Frozen like Freeze in Hearthstone?
PartlyPartly. Both cost the target its next attack. Hearthstone’s Freeze does only that: a Frozen minion still takes damage and keeps its text. An Azuki Frozen entity also can’t be damaged and loses its abilities while frozen.
Frozen in the Azuki TCG
A Frozen entity cannot attack, cannot be damaged, and its abilities are disabled, for as long as the card that froze it says. Chilling Water freezes an opposing entity with cost 2 or less until the start of your next turn.
The same
- Both stop the card attacking on its owner’s next turn.
Different
- Azuki Frozen protects the entity: it can’t be damaged while frozen, so you can’t freeze something and then burn it down.
- Its abilities are off while frozen: no Defender, no [When Attacked]. A frozen Hearthstone minion keeps Taunt and its other text.
- Hearthstone can freeze heroes. Chilling Water freezes only an entity with cost 2 or less in your opponent’s Garden.
- The Azuki TCG’s closest match to Freeze is Rooted, which only stops attacking.
