How to play Elsa, Spirit of Winter

This is a Shift card — instead of paying her full 8 ink, you can pay 6 ink to play her on top of any character named Elsa already in play. Common targets include Elsa — Snow Queen (Set 1), Elsa — Queen Regent (Set 2), or any cheaper Elsa version. Shifting preserves the underlying character's damage and effects, so you don't lose tempo.

DEEP FREEZE makes her a strong tempo play: when she enters, exert up to 2 enemy characters and they can't ready next turn — effectively a two-turn lockout on key threats. With 4 strength and 6 willpower she can also trade up against most challengers.

Best paired with: Amethyst control shells running multiple Elsa variants, or Amethyst/Steel midrange decks that want a finisher with built-in disruption.
