Can someone help clear up this confusion:

If my creature has been enchanted with an ice cage, can I go on later to equip it with a shield if the ice cage is still in place?

@Krizard: Yes, you can. In fact, the equipping breaks the ice cage altogether! I've used that more than once in M12 limited to save my creatures.

There are obviously better cards, Journey to Nowhere, Oblivion Ring, heck even Pacifism could be considered better. In blue there are other lockdown cards as well. This card may not be the next Stoneforge Mystic but it is good. It shines in casual. At 2cmc and common it comes into play early and is easily obtainable. It will shut down any early threat and will typically be used against a creature your opponent may not feel is even worth bailing out which means they will typically just play around it instead of breaking your cage. Its great against tempo and weenie decks if you are playing a slower control deck. Drop this on a Warcry critter or something and all the sudden your opponent is fighting just a little bit harder to get his strat going. It definitely has its place and I feel it deserves a better reputation.

In casual drafts and the like, the card has some fairly serious stopping ability. In anything a bit more focused, it loses some value. It's not as terrible as many others in similar situations though.
