Chillbringer
A Frost Lynx grown up, and priced accordingly. The blue tap-down template goes back years: a body attached to a freeze effect that locks down a blocker for two turns, buying an attacker or clearing a lane for the swing. What this one adds to the formula is evasion of its own. The flying 3/3 means the tempo you generate doesn't just push someone else's creature through; the body in the air is itself the thing you're trying to connect with, and tapping down a defender clears whatever might have chumped it or raced back. That doubling-up (the tap makes an opening, the flier exploits it) is why the effect reads better here than on the ground-pounding versions of the same freeze. The tap-and-doesn't-untap clause is the honest cost: it's a two-turn Frost Breath on a single target, not permanent removal, so the pressure has to come from the board you're already committing. Five mana for a 3/3 is a steep rate for a value creature, which is the tell that the design is priced as a tempo payoff rather than a raw stat line: you are paying for the two-turn window and the evasive clock together, and the card only makes sense when you have the pressure to cash that window in.
