That was my mouth when I saw this. I wish this had the end phase clause that Mirrodin Besieged has. They are really trying to push snow in some direction.

So a fixed way to unleash Marit Lage on your opponent. Actually pretty manageable too, and the scry is quite useful. This could be worth brewing with...maybe it finds a home in a Temur Skred deck?

In a mono-blue deck, this card effectively says, "whenever you play an Island, Scry 1." That is super powerful all on its own, especially in Commander.
Yep, this is exactly the enabler that snow needed to be halfway decent (especially in cube)
Getting to Scry 1 whenever you play a land is a halfway decent payoff for not using a ton of better nonbasics, plus a scry whenever you play any other snow permanent.
I love this. So it seems like Snow.dec will probably some sort of BUG control shell that aims to stick a Lage, flash in Coatls, and somehow get to 10 snow permanents... 10 lands is a lot in modern, outside of UW Control.
You awaken Marit Lage by...freezing her more? What?
It should require you have X number of snow permanents to cast, and then you sacrifice it and make the token when you do not control any other snow permanents. Granted, completely different card at that point, but it works better flavor-wise.
It's a sweet card but I don't see it making the cut in modern. The reason dark depths is so good is you can cheat the cost and also make the token EoT then untap and attack for lethal. The combo can also not be broken up by any permanent removal beforehand.
On the other hand this requires you play an enchantment (and yes there's less removal for this than artifacts) but it can be countered, discarded etc. On top of that it only activates on your upkeep which means unless you have a haste enabler you pass the turn and allow karn to exile it, reflector mage to bounce it, thing in the ice to bounce it, UW control to exile/bounce it (you get the idea).
Even at the most magical christmas land you're doing something like getting 10 snow permanents by turn 4 which means you get the 20/20 on turn 5 which means attacking on turn 6. Just too slow sadly.

You are going deeper and deeper into the snow until you find her.
Indeed. The Ronom Glacier is deep within the coldest part of the arctic Terisiare. The flavor is heading deeper and deeper into the arctic to find Merit Lage.

Not as easy to break, but arguably easier to get there in a non-cheaty way.
Yes, it does cause the scry to trigger.

Have to say, I didn't expect it.
