Frost Lynx

Description

The Frost Lynx, card number BBD-118, is a blue Elemental Cat creature from the 2019 Magic: The Gathering set known as The List. Designed by artist Izzy, this Common rarity card features a mana cost of two generic and one blue mana, resulting in a mana value of three. As a creature with two power and two toughness, it offers a solid body for its casting cost. The card’s primary appeal lies in its unique triggered ability. When Frost Lynx enters the battlefield, it allows the controller to tap a target creature an opponent controls. Crucially, that tapped creature cannot untap during its controller’s next untap step. This effect provides a temporary but significant disruption to an opponent’s board presence, preventing them from attacking or activating abilities with that specific unit for a full turn cycle. The flavor text notes that the creature readily attacks larger prey, knowing retaliation is impossible, which adds narrative depth to its aggressive yet tactical nature. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering, The List represents a unique subset of cards that are not part of a standard expansion but are still officially sanctioned and printed on standard card stock. These cards often serve as foils for other formats or provide access to cards in formats where they are otherwise legal. The Frost Lynx is a catalog-level item that appeals to players looking for versatile blue removal and disruption options, as well as collectors interested in the diverse array of cards included in The List subset. Its straightforward design and impactful rules text make it a recognizable and functional piece within the broader Magic: The Gathering ecosystem. Whether you are building a Commander deck or exploring the strategic depths of Limited formats, this card offers a reliable interaction tool that has stood the test of time since its release in 2019.
