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 1.84.

A control deck focused on slowing down the opponent's creatures and planeswalkers would benefit from using Deadlock Trap, as it provides a way to tap down key threats and prevent them from activating abilities. However, there are potentially better options like Detention Sphere or Oblivion Ring that offer more permanent removal, making Deadlock Trap more situational and less likely to see play in competitive decks.

Rules

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.

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.

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