About Icy Prison

Icy Prison, Enchantment, designed by Anson Maddocks first released in Jun, 1995 in the set Ice Age and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.29.

Icy Prison is best suited for control decks that focus on stalling the game while maintaining board advantage, particularly in blue-centric strategies that can manage tempo and resource denial. It synergizes well with decks that can generate additional mana or have ways to force opponents to pay the upkeep cost, such as those with taxing effects. While there are other options like Detention Sphere or Oblivion Ring that offer similar exile effects with more versatility, Icy Prison's unique upkeep cost can be advantageous in certain scenarios. Ultimately, it can see play in niche builds but may not be a staple due to the existence of more efficient removal and control options.

Rules

10/01/08

If Icy Prison leaves the battlefield before its first ability has resolved, its third ability will trigger and do nothing. Then its first ability will resolve and exile the targeted creature forever.
