About Deadlock Trap

Deadlock Trap, Artifact, designed by Jason Rainville first released in Sep, 2016 in the set Kaladesh Promos and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.21.

Deadlock Trap would fit well in a control or tempo deck that seeks to manage the board by tapping down key threats and preventing their activated abilities, making it particularly effective in formats with powerful creatures or planeswalkers. While it provides utility, cards like Pithing Needle or Sorcerous Spyglass might be considered better options for shutting down activated abilities without requiring energy, and Fallen Shinobi or Narset, Parter of Veils could offer more impactful effects for similar mana costs. However, Deadlock Trap can still see play in energy-centric decks or those that can generate consistent energy, as it offers a unique combination of tapping and disabling abilities, making it a niche but potentially valuable addition.

Rules

01/19/18

There are many important moments in the story, but the most crucial—called “story spotlights”—are shown on cards. These cards have the Planeswalker symbol in their text box; this symbol has no effect on gameplay. You can read more about these events in the official Magic fiction at http://www.mtgstory.com.

is the energy symbol. It represents one energy counter.

02/09/17

Energy counters aren’t mana. They don’t go away as steps, phases, and turns end, and effects that add mana “of any type” to your mana pool can’t give you energy counters.

02/09/17

Keep careful track of how many energy counters each player has. You may do so by keeping a running count on paper, by using a die, or by any other clear and mutually agreeable method.

09/20/16

A tapped planeswalker can be attacked or dealt damage as normal.

Activated abilities contain a colon. They’re generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keywords are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text.

Players may respond to Deadlock Trap’s last ability by activating an ability of the target permanent if that ability’s timing permissions allow it.
