Wall of Frost

Description

Released in 2014 as part of the Magic: The Gathering M15 core set, Wall of Frost is a blue uncommon creature card identified by card number 83. Illustrated by Mike Bierek, this card features the type line Creature — Wall and commands a mana cost of {1}{U}{U}. With a power and toughness of 0/7, it is designed to control the board through its defensive capabilities rather than aggressive offense. The card’s rules text grants it the Defender ability, meaning it cannot attack but can block creatures. Its distinctive effect triggers when it blocks: the blocked creature does not untap during its controller’s next untap step. This mechanic allows players to neutralize threats over multiple turns, making it a strategic tool for controlling the game state. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out this card to complete the M15 set or to appreciate its unique interaction mechanics within the blue mana color identity. The flavor text adds depth to the card's lore, referencing Sarlena, a paladin of the Northern Verge. As a staple of the M15 release, Wall of Frost remains a recognizable piece of the Magic: The Gathering catalog for enthusiasts of the trading card game.
