Gameplay

Instant

Tap X target creatures. Ferocious — If you control a creature with power 4 or greater, those creatures don't untap during their controllers' next untap steps.

You check if you control a creature with power 4 or greater as Icy Blast resolves. It doesn’t matter if you control such a creature during any of the relevant untap steps.

2014-09-20wotc

Icy Blast tracks the creature, but not its controller. If the creature changes controllers before its first controller’s next untap step has come around, then it won’t untap during its new controller’s next untap step.

2014-09-20wotc

Ferocious abilities of instants and sorceries that don’t use the word “instead” will provide an additional effect if you control a creature with power 4 or greater as they resolve.
