Icy Blast

Instant MV 1

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Tap X target creatures.

Ferocious — If you control a creature with power 4 or greater, those creatures don't untap during their controllers' next untap steps.

Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2014-09-20

    You check if you control a creature with power 4 or greater as Icy Blast resolves. It doesn’t matter if you control such a creature during any of the relevant untap steps.

  • 2014-09-20

    Icy Blast tracks the creature, but not its controller. If the creature changes controllers before its first controller’s next untap step has come around, then it won’t untap during its new controller’s next untap step.

  • 2014-09-20

    Ferocious abilities of instants and sorceries that don’t use the word “instead” will provide an additional effect if you control a creature with power 4 or greater as they resolve.

  • 2014-09-20

    Some ferocious abilities that appear on instants and sorceries use the word “instead.” These spells have an upgraded effect if you control a creature with power 4 or greater as they resolve. For these, you only get the upgraded effect, not both effects.

  • 2014-09-20

    Icy Blast can target a creature that’s already tapped. It still won’t untap during its controller’s next untap step.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Icy Blast

2 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly. A printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall publishes none for some of them. Click a card's art to chart that version's price above.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Icy Blast. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
