Description
Rush of Ice is a one-mana blue sorcery from Magic: The Gathering's Battle for Zendikar set, released in 2015. As card number 84, this common card provides a simple yet effective control option for decks seeking to disrupt opponents. The foil finish adds a distinct visual appeal that collectors appreciate when building their libraries. In gameplay, Rush of Ice allows you to tap a target creature, preventing it from untapping during its controller's next untap step. This effect is particularly useful for neutralizing threats before combat or setting up combos. The card also features the Awaken mechanic, offering an alternative casting cost of four mana and one blue mana. When cast for this cost, you can put three +1/+1 counters on a target land you control, transforming it into a 0/0 Elemental creature with haste. This duality makes the card a flexible tool for both control and ramp strategies. Rush of Ice stands out as a staple in blue-based decks that value tempo and resource management. The foil version of this card is especially sought after for its shimmering finish, which enhances the card's aesthetic value without altering its gameplay function. Whether you are completing your Battle for Zendikar collection or looking for a reliable control spell, Rush of Ice delivers both utility and collectibility. Its low mana cost and dual functionality make it a versatile addition to any Magic: The Gathering library.
