Magic the gathering (Island) Permafrost Trap #34/145 - Worldwake - MTG Card (English) Uncommon

Permafrost Trap is an Uncommon blue Instant — Trap from Magic: The Gathering — Worldwake. This tactical spell can disrupt your opponent's battlefield by tapping up to two target creatures and preventing them from untapping during their controller's next untap step.

Its alternative casting condition makes it particularly interesting: if an opponent had a green creature enter the battlefield under their control that turn, you may cast Permafrost Trap for just one blue mana instead of its normal four-mana cost. This can create a significant tempo advantage, potentially disrupting an opponent's attack or leaving important creatures unavailable for defence.

Permafrost Trap is a situational but powerful control spell, especially against creature-heavy green strategies. Its ability to affect two creatures makes it more impactful than a conventional tapping spell.
