Snow mana symbol
Snow is a supertype that is found on Basic lands in Ice Age, and many cards in Coldsnap. Unlike other supertypes, Snow has no rules baggage; does not have an associated state-based effect, nor does it introduce a deck-building rule. Instead, some cards will give or gain benefits from the amount of Snow permanents you control.[1][2]
Mana produced by a snow permanent is called snow mana. Snow mana may be spent as normal mana, but can also satisfy costs expressed by the mana symbol File:Manas.gif.
From the ()
Snow is a replacement for the supertype "Snow-Covered", which is itself a replacement for the static ability with the same name. Cards that were formerly snow-covered received Oracle updates upon the release of the Coldsnap expansion set.
Notes
- Rimefeather Owl has the ability to make permanents snow — that is, to give those permanents the supertype “snow” - with ice counters.[3]
- In the Gatecrash update of Gatherer the snow symbol received a slight redesign.[4]
