Icy Blast, Instant, designed by Eric Deschamps first released in Sep, 2014 in the set Khans of Tarkir Promos and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
This card, Icy Blast, would be beneficial in a control deck that aims to tap down multiple creatures to stall the opponent's board development. However, there are better alternatives like Cryptic Command, which offers more versatility with additional modes such as counter target spell, return target permanent to its owner's hand, or untap up to two lands. Icy Blast may see play in specific metagames where tapping creatures down is crucial, but in general, Cryptic Command is a more versatile and powerful option for control decks in Magic: the Gathering.

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.

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.

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.
