About Rush of Ice

Rush of Ice, Sorcery, designed by Deruchenko Alexander first released in Oct, 2015 in the set Battle for Zendikar. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4.79.

A control deck that focuses on tempo and disrupting the opponent's board would benefit from including Rush of Ice. While it provides a cheap and efficient way to tap down a key creature and keep it locked down for a turn, there may be better options available depending on the specific strategy of the deck, such as Vapor Snag or Unsummon for more flexibility. However, Rush of Ice could still see play in certain metagames or decks looking for a specific effect.

Rules

If a spell with awaken has multiple targets (including the land you control), and some but not all of those targets become illegal by the time the spell tries to resolve, the spell won’t affect the illegal targets in any way.

08/25/15

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

08/25/15

The land will retain any other types, subtypes, or supertypes it previously had. It will also retain any mana abilities it had as a result of those subtypes. For example, a Forest that’s turned into a creature this way can still be tapped for .

08/25/15

You can cast a spell with awaken for its mana cost and get only its first effect. If you cast a spell for its awaken cost, you’ll get both effects.
