    super71 I need me some PIE!

    Changed to st/is rune so he can be ran full faction in either

    Loses resistance frost 3, get chill (2) on base

    Upgrade line 1: opportunistic assault, lay trap frost 3, throw axe
    Upgrade line 2: slowing armor, ally: ironfist, all:st

    Base stats

    10 damage
    6 speed
    1 range
    4 defense
    52 hp

    Any other ideas are welcome I just always loved this rune because it looks bad ass and would like to see it playable.

    Give him frost armor! Underused but neat ability

    I hate runes like Hoarfrost Lich that are designed 100% with ST abilities but aren't ST.

    @Sokolov, can hoarfrost Lichling be made a split rune?

    Yeah defense means very little these days, unless for some reason your opponent doesn't have a single ability to play around it.

    Except he's never used in barbarians....

    He would make sense

    Hoarfrost Lich would be an amazing unit. Easy auto-include for any frost deck.

    Well yea, because he's a ST rune, of course he's never used in barbarians?

    Let me rephrase, he's never used period.

    Incorrect, I run him in my Bursticade deck.

    You can rephrase to "he's never used by anyone good," however :D

    I remember using my bursticade bg against you when those constructs that build walls first came out. Make this barbarian playable sok, he's too bad ass not to be played.

    No, it's FF IS, and should stay that way.

    There are no synergies for barbarians and warriors are not a thing in ST. So it has to be crazy efficient/self sustainable to be ran in good stuff decks or it will otherwise remain unused, which would be different if it becomes a good addition for the faction it belongs to.

    Edit: also in before 'it would be nice on frost decks' nope it wouldn't.

    Also the reason Hoarfrost Lich is as good as it is probably has to do with it not being run able in FF ST, and it should stay that way, too. It has potential for splits and that's where it should stop when it comes to benefits for the Savage Tundra. Experiment with deck building and let things be.
