Snow creatures synergize with each other and with
snow-covered lands. Again, this one lets you search up your Shimmerdrift Vale,
should you need the fixing. Unlike the last pack, we're more focused on
attacking, deploying three-powered creatures, and then strengthening them
further with Blessing of Frost.



The strength of this and other snow cards revolves around
how many snow lands you control. The number to include in each pack is an
interesting question. When drafting the snow archetype, you never get all snow
lands. In Jumpstart, you're building your deck with another random pack, which
may or may not be snow. I decided to build these packs with five snow lands. If
your second pack also has them, you'll have a full ten, which represents a
number you might get in a lucky draft. With five snow lands, you'll often have
one by turn four. A second one will make cards like Blessing of Frost extra
exciting. It'll be like waking up one morning to find everything glittering and
pristine.



Snow fans may well wonder at the absence of Glacial
Revelation. You love to hope for a white Christmas, to see five snow cards on
top of your deck. However, since we don't have control over our second pack,
which will likely have another theme, Glacial Revelation will most often be
disappointing. Other snow synergies are much more forgiving. For instance, Berg
Strider requires only a single snow land to gain the full strength of its gale.
