Frost Lynx

Frost Lynx was released in July 2014 as part of the Magic 2015 core set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by Wizards of the Coast, the card serves as a mechanical staple within the set's limited environment, functioning as a creature that provides board control by tapping an opponent's permanent upon entry to the battlefield. This effect, often referred to as a 'tap-down' ability, is a characteristic element of blue-aligned cards that aim to slow the pace of play.

The card features illustration by Johann Bodin, who rendered the lynx with ethereal, icy aesthetic qualities to reflect its elemental nature. In the context of the Magic 2015 set, the creature was intended to be a versatile tool for players, offering both a defensive body and a tempo-gaining utility. It was received as a solid, functional common card that successfully balanced utility and power for its mana cost, often appearing in blue-based draft decks during the set's cycle.
