Question

When playing flash freeze, can I resolve the special on blizzard if there is no minion to choose? Can I trigger Storm’s Cape after that?
When playing flash freeze, can I resolve the special on blizzard if every minion in play already had their text box blanked? Can I trigger Storm’s Cape after that?
If Ability A (flash freeze) tells me to resolve another ability, B (Blizzard Special) is resolving B mandatory, or can it fail to initiate it if (B only) would not change the game?
If a similar ability A is only one sentence (Wakanda Forever) is it possible to initiate that ability if B cannot change the game?
What happens when blizzard’s special is triggered against an Ultron drone? Or an all-turned-minion with a blanked text from Beguiled? Can I trigger Storm’s Cape after that?

Answer

No, if there’s no minion in play to target, Blizzard’s special ability does not resolve, and you cannot then exhaust Storm’s Cape.

Yes, the only cost to activate blizzard’s special ability is to choose a minion. The effect would be redundant, but still considered resolved, and you could trigger Storm’s Cape that way.

When resolving flash freeze, it instructions you to resolve blizzard’s special if blizzard is in play. If you are able to you must resolve it, but if you cannot, you can still resolve the rest of flash freeze (giving -3 ATK to enemies attacking you).

This question is quite abstract without a specific example. Could you give us a specific example where you want to resolve this interaction?

You can resolve blizzard’s special against an Ultron drone or an ally-turned-minion. You can also then trigger Storm’s Cape.
