Watertrap Weaver

Description

The Watertrap Weaver is a creature card from the 2017 Magic: The Gathering Ixalan expansion. Identified as card number 87 in the set, this product is classified as a Merfolk Wizard with a mana cost of {2}{U} and a power/toughness of 2/2. Designed by artist Josu Hernaiz, the card features a distinct blue color identity that appeals to players and collectors who favor blue-based strategies. In gameplay, the Watertrap Weaver serves as a disruptive tool. When this creature enters the battlefield, it allows the controller to tap a target creature an opponent controls. Crucially, that tapped creature does not untap during its controller’s next untap step, effectively neutralizing an opponent's resource for a turn. This mechanic provides a tactical advantage in controlling the board state, making the card a functional addition to control-focused decks. Collectors often seek out cards from the Ixalan set to complete their base set collections, and Watertrap Weaver represents a solid entry point for those interested in the Merfolk tribe or wizard-themed subsets. Its straightforward design and clear utility make it a recognizable piece of the Magic: The Gathering universe from this era.
