Frost Trickster — Chill the Board
Frost Trickster is a compact tempo piece for blue decks that want to lock down key attackers or blockers. The 2 mana and a blue cost gets you a 2/2 Bird Wizard with flying and a disruptive enter the battlefield effect that taps an opponent's creature and keeps it tapped through their next untap step. In practical play this card buys you a turn of breathing room or clears a path for an aerial attack while still contributing a flying body to the battlefield.
From a lore angle Frost Trickster fits the Foundations Jumpstart mood: nimble and tactical, a mage who prefers control through timing rather than brute force. Use it in tempo shells, blink strategies, or any list that values incremental advantage and repeated interaction. Add it to lists that aim to tempo out early threats or to protect a developing board; it reads well in multiples and pairs cleanly with bounce, tap synergies, and flicker effects.
