Well, Christmas is Kinda Close...(Snow Contest) [CLOSED]
If you haven't noticed yet, I'll tell you: Cardsmith have added a new feature. It's the 'snow' {s} symbol, used in Coldsnap. The way the symbol works is how it can be paid with any mana from a snow permanent.
Here are some examples:
- http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=121200
- http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=405178
- http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=130684
And my own card (This isn't an entry, but an example):
- http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/frostborn-titan
So that's the challenge: make either a snow permanent, or a card that interacts with snow mana. Rules:
- Any number of entries, and you may use old cards.
-You can use cards that have no interaction with snow mana or permanents, but only have the 'Snow' type.
- Since there isn't a 'snow' type for each permanent, just do something like:
' Creature - Snow Centaur Shaman ' or whatever.
Prizes:
- 1st place: Five favorites, a follow, as well as a card made about YOU, and you get to pick an honorable mention.
- 2nd place: Three favorites, and a follow.
- 3rd: A favorite, and a follow.
Honorable mention(s):
- A favorite.
I will be judging three-ish weeks after this contest was created.

@kimjongmartin I fixed it thanks for the heads up
I would suggest you change CMC to 'converted mana cost'. I don't like improper MTG language, and, while I know what it stands for, others may not. And, you may want to work on the wording of the first ability.
It should say either:
'At the beginning of your upkeep, you may put a depth counter on Blizzard of the Aeons. Then, sacrifice it unless you may {s} for each depth counter on it. '
Otherwise, really cool card!
AS you can see above, it will end three weeks after it was created.
I decided to say that it was Snow because it just felt wrong to put it on the subtype section.

3rd place is @Death_Methods with 'Aslan, the Great Lion'.

The flavour is overwhelming! I love the Narnia books, and so perhaps I'm bias, but this card...Wow. Original, cool, flavorful, has cool art, wow. I'm not quite sure how powerful the card is - I would consider making it a 6/6 or a 7/7, but the card itself is amazing.
Flavor: 10/10
Balance: 6.5/10
Formatting/Wording: 7/10
Art: 10/10
Originality: 8/10
2nd place is @Faiths_Guide with 'Lilt, Hoarfrost Guardian'.

As the saying goes, ' @Faiths_Guide never has a day off '. Another balanced, original, interesting card. I'd like to play this guy in EDH, in fact. And it reminds of the nice (but unhealthy) fizzy drink Lilt.
Flavor: 8.5/10
Balance: 9/10
Formatting/Wording: 10/10
Art: 8/10
Originality: 9/10
And, 1st place (drumroll please) is @Monty with 'Solar Statis'.

I love this card. It's balanced, flavorful and fun, everything you could want in a card.
