Freeze

Freeze is a slang term used by Magic R&D to describe spells that tap a target permanent and prevent untapping during its controller's next untap step. This mechanic is represented in art as ice or coldness (e.g. Crippling Chill).
 * "Freezing" creatures is a primary blue ability that R&D has grown fond of in recent years.
 * "Freezing" land was a primary red ability, they have been experimenting as a "land destruction lite", which was abandoned after Aether Revolt from unpopularity.

If an enchanted creature doesn't untap permanently it is called Lockdown or Dehydration. This is one of blue's primary creature answers in Limited. It's used almost solely on Auras.
