Alright, my opponent's creature can't attack . . . oh wait, he just pumped it with a beneficial spell, destroyed the enchantment, and screwed up my plan to kill him. This card is appalling; in no way, shape, or form does this card capture the mechanic or flavor of blue. Honestly, I'm disappointed.

Absolute garbage. Like most of the blue stuff in M10.

It's like a very weak crystallize or oblivion ring.. the only value of it is if you are playing mono blue at least you have something that can act as a pacifism.. on the other hand it seems simpler just to remove the creature instead of trying to play ice cages on it, or use a mind control. Blue has got so ridiculously weak lately.. everything blue does is currently taken up by another color, and all the other colors do it better. Flyers are everywhere, taking control of other creatures is now part red (mark of mutiny and dominus for example), and other colors have counter spell'esque cards (moonhold). There's nothing that only blue does that blue is best at, and the few cards that are quintissentially blue are certainly easy to get around or not the strongest for what they do.

would be a load better if it said, if enchanted creature is targeted, destroy the creature, instead of the cage, there was an ice age card, flash freeze, that had the same effect
but that wouldnt be reprinted, blue is shakey atm, and WotC doesnt want it to stabalize till it is become a spare color on the color wheel, a 5th wheel kinda color

Wizards made this card because they like to laugh at blue removal. This is depressing garbage.

This just came to me with this card. Say you were playing a creature card with a static ability like Magus of the Moon (I know he's red but its the only card that I can think of at the moment). Anyway, when a card like that comes into play you would want to protect him in some way. Well, his ability has already been activated, so could you not cast Ice Cage on him to protect him?
I just got back into playing after a long hiatus so this might not be legal, but I can't see why it wouldn't be. In my opinion that makes this a pretty good card.
