General Comments

Icehowl is the most powerful charge minion in the game. However, its card text means that it has to be used as a clearing tool to fight for the board and not as a direct damage source. Due to this, Ragnaros the Firelord will usually be a preferable option, since it is cheaper and does not deal damage to itself while clearing minions. It should be noted that you can Silence this minion to allow it to attack an enemy hero, but doing so on the turn it is played will also Silence the Charge ability, making it unable to attack.

Constructed Play

In Constructed, Icehowl will generally be outclassed by Ragnaros the Firelord and other high impact Legendaries.

3.

Arena

Icehowl is no longer available in Arena.
