Power: 4 | Speed: 3 | Rarity: Common | World Region: The Permafrost Beds
Origins: Ice Sprout looks wrong for the affinity – a small, plant-like creature with 4 Power and genuine aggression. But the Permafrost Beds produce unexpected things, and Ice Sprout is the affinity's reminder that cold doesn't mean passive. The spike attacks come from below, from angles that most cards don't defend against, and Ice Sprout has been exploiting that blind spot for its entire existence.
Finishing Move: Frost Spike: Grows an ice spike from the permafrost at a target's feet in under two seconds. The target doesn't see it coming. The spike doesn't care.
Synergy & Rivalry: Surprise Power contribution in any Ice deck – opponents don't see the 4 coming from something this small. Ongoing territorial conflict with Nature's Fern Lynx, two plants from opposing temperature zones who occupy the same ecological niche and resent each other for it.
