Hardpacked Snowball
An excellent anti-solo card. Slamming this down on
Gorebelly during his turn means he has to wait until
your next turn to throw it back at you. During his
turn he can attack, but then during his next turn
you throw it back at him, and so on and so forth. So
unless the solo player can destroy it, or throw it
onto one of his own allies, they can only attack
once every three turns (I think I’ve worked that out
right…).
Its uses don’t stop at anti-solo though. This thing
can shut down any big attacker/protector/Medoc for
two turns at a time…basically everyone just got a
winter version of Hammer of Justice.

Hardpacked Snowball
Instant Ability
Cost: 3
Attach to target hero or ally and
exhaust it. Ongoing: Attached character can't attack or
protect and has "Attach
Hardpacked Snowball to target hero or ally and
exhaust it."
This card has it’s ups and downsides.
The upside is that is an Instant Ability, and can
save you that way for a turn.
The downside is that it can be used
against you the next turn.
Ongoing: Attached character can't attack or protect
and has "Activate >> Attach Hardpacked Showball to
target Hero or Ally and exhaust it."
BOOYA! This card is
crazy cool! While it might not be totally game
breaking, its extremely fun to just huck snowballs
at each other. That being said, this is a very
solid card (Pun FULLY intended). For a 3 cost
instant ability that ANY class can use, you can lock
out an ally or hero from combat for a turn.
Sealed: Um... I have no idea if you can get this
card in sealed, so I'm not going to rate it here.
Constructed: 3/5 If you are looking for a fun
filler card to annoy your opponent, this can be it.
Casual: 5/5 Throwing snowballs is TOTALLY FUN!
They can add to your chances to win the game, but
HAVING A SHOWBALL FIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER
WILL BE HELLA FUN!!! :)
Raid: 1/5 Unfortunately, not so useful here as you
can't zap a Hero (cuz there aren't any) and most
allies won't really be worth throwing a snowball at.

HARDPACKED SNOWBALL
YYYAAAAAYYY! It’s Feast of
Winterveil week here on Pojo. Having been
playing Wow online for only 1 month now (Lv 33
Mage) I haven’t had a chance to experience
Winterveil online yet. I hear its fun. One of
the fun cards is Hardpacked Snowball.
First thing about this set- It
will be legal for the first day of World
Championships. It won’t be legal for last
chance qualifiers on Thursday, but if you play
that day and make it in, you will have to deal
with this set on Friday.
For me this card is a solo hero
stopper. I plan to side 2 or 3 at worlds
against solo decks. When the opposing hero or
ally declares an attack, you tap 3 and smack ‘em
upside the head with a snowball. That taps that
character. Next turn, the opponent has to make
a decision, either use that hero or ally to
attack, or tap it to throw the snowball at
something else. That way your snowball
effectively stops that character from attacking
twice. The bad part is that they get to do it
right back at you and stop one of your
characters twice, provided that you throw the
snowball back at them.
Fun card even though it is not
removal, but a good way to try and slow down a
solo deck.
