1. General Comments

Frost Nova will often simply delay your opponent at the cost of a card and it has very little impact on the game as a standalone card. It can form an excellent combo with Doomsayer or set up a clear on the following turn with Flamestrike.

2. Constructed Play

Frost Nova works in control Mage decks, as it will delay your opponent and prevent damage. Doomsayer and Frost Nova can form a nice synergy and easily wipe the board.

3. Arena

Frost Nova is a poor card in most Arena decks. However, if you have multiple AoE spells like Blizzard and Flamestrike in your deck, then it can be a useful delaying tactic.
