Frost Lynx

Description

The Frost Lynx is card number 62 in the Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2020 (M20) checklist, published in 2019. As a Common rarity card, it serves as an accessible piece for builders looking to fill base set gaps or construct casual decks. The card is illustrated by Izzy and features a mana cost of {2}{U}, placing it at a mana value of 3. Functionally, the Frost Lynx is a Creature — Elemental Cat with 2 power and 2 toughness. Its primary ability triggers when the creature enters the battlefield, allowing you to tap a target creature an opponent controls. That tapped creature then cannot untap during its controller's next untap step. This mechanism provides immediate control without dealing damage, making it distinct from other removal options. The flavor text notes that it readily attacks much larger prey, knowing retaliation is impossible. The card's blue color identity and Elemental Cat subtype place it within specific deck-building parameters. For those interested in the strategic depth of Magic: The Gathering trading cards, the Frost Lynx offers a simple but effective interaction tool. Its presence in the Core Set 2020 ensures it remains a familiar name among players and collectors who value the foundational expansions of the game.
