And this was because the game at the time was muuuuuch, much slower with very little worthwhile healing cards printed... never mind Reno, who would have just laughed at old Freeze mage.
These days, Freeze Mage ONLY exists because it can burst 30-0 in one turn. It MUST have Thaurissan for redux. It MUST have Torches for early removal, because Frostbolt is their win-condition finisher.
