Uh-oh, EMA reprints have brought back the old wording. Winter Orb's not just an aggro card anymore. With Whirler Rogue, Opposition, and Pestermite/Deceiver Exarch, and Ice it looks like a lot of our blue sections already have a lot of tools to abuse this rules change on Winter Orb. Maybe it's time to bring back Icy Manipulator as well?

Same. We've been running Icy still because stagnation is easy and WE HATE CHANGE ARGGHH!!! but now it has another, really awesome application which is great.
Playing winter orb early (turn 3-4) ensures that mana development does not go into the late game.
I guess I have to get the updated wording from Eternal Masters to reduce confusion to players. Too bad because I like to have it in the old frame and art.
Oh, I just realised that it has already been errata and that back in the past, Winter Orb effect was shut off when tapped. So it's a return to that if I understand good.

Is this the art?
It would look great in regular foil, maybe not in 'FTV foil' though.
On spoiled card wishlisting and 'should-have-had'-isms:
