Sindragosa is a legendary mage minion card, from the Knights of the Frozen Throne set.

Strategy
This card has decent stats for its cost, but its real value comes from the Frozen Champions. However, without any support, the simplest way to destroy your Frozen Champions is to use Fireblast, but this can only be done once per turn and spends 2 mana. A more efficient way to destroy them is by giving them Taunt or Attack with cards like Defender of Argus, Fungalmancer, or Stormwind Champion, or playing a card that deals damage to the entire board like Volcanic Potion, Primordial Drake, or even Deathwing.

With Frost Lich Jaina the Frozen Champions can function as soft taunts, as they give an easy way to use Icy Touch to summon a Water Elemental.
