Description
Released in 2010 as part of the Worldwake expansion, Permafrost Trap is a blue Instant-Trap card identified by the set code WWK and card number 34. Designed by Howard Lyon, this Uncommon card features a mana cost of {2}{U}{U} and serves as a strategic tool in blue-heavy decks. This conditional discount creates interesting interactions, forcing opponents to consider the timing of their creature deployments. Once cast, the card taps up to two target creatures, preventing them from untapping during their controller's next untap step. This effect can disrupt board states and control the flow of the game. Collectors value this card for its clever mechanics and its place within the Worldwake set's narrative of elemental forces. The combination of the trap subtype and the specific green creature condition makes it a memorable inclusion for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts. The card's straightforward yet impactful effect continues to be appreciated by players who enjoy strategic depth in their matches.
