All Cards › Deep Freeze
4 At a glance
Functional impact
An instant area control spell — no damage, just lock-down. Inside the splash zone:
- Freeze — freezes enemy cards, support crew, and truck in place
How to play
Drop on clustered enemy cards mid-push to stall their attacks. Pair with your own swarm or heavy hitter to land free damage while they're stuck.
Trucks and crowds shrug it off — keep your offense rolling with those. Spread your cards out so one Deep Freeze can't lock your whole push.
Flavor
Icy chilli bomb that locks enemy cards in place. AoE control spell.
Chill out!
Backstory
Deep Freeze is the second-place finisher of the Federation's 2025 spell competition. Chilli Charge won. The Deep Freeze formula was developed by a chef named Mei Lin who claimed she could make any sauce taste like winter; the prototype froze the panel's tasting spoons solid in fourteen seconds. The Federation registered it as a spell the next morning and quietly removed it from the food-safety competition. Mei Lin still gets royalties. She has never explained the recipe.
