The fact that it says "destroy ice cage" makes me giggle at the possibility of enchanting this with indestructibility. Two card 6 mana arrest ftw

On constructed: First off, there are better options. If we ignore that, there is still the part about how you want to give your opponents as few options as possible, and this gives them the option of getting rid of your "removal" spell.
On limited: One copy is usually fine in a sealed deck, but if you have two your opponent can usually play around them via sideboard (Hornet Sting, Diminish, Stabbing Pain, Primal Cocoon, Holy Strength, Unholy Strength) if not main deck. Pick it no earlier than mid-pack.

@abacus: You seem to be misunderstanding the term "target", since the phrase you're quoting obviously refers to abilities which use creature-tapping as a _cost_ rather than an effect.

It would be a great enchantment if the damn thing didn't break all the time!

I guess it's in response to this unstoppable card that they had no choice but to make Hornet Sting...

At the very least it's better than Sleeping Potion most of the time.

@ donjohnson
The third ability. Look at it closely. If they have any other card that says anything like "tap a creature you control..." or some similar you lose the ice cage.

Great Card. Shut down a creature entirely for 2 CMC...whats not to like.

lost a sealed deck game because a guy bolted his own bogardan hellkite to break this crappy enchantment.

I would prefer the frozen solid with cmc2 over this one.
