I believe that this creature being both future-shifted AND snow is evidence of them brining snow back sometime in the future! :D I LOVE SNOW!

This + Imperiosaur is a beautiful thing.

Use it with Topan Ascetic for hot green creature action.

I feel that this card less represents us getting snow in the future, but showed how "tapped matters" may be important, as evidenced by the Merfolk in Lorwyn block.

Amber Prison would work well. Of course, you can't use it on your opponents if you do that, but sometimes dropping a powerful creature for 2 less mana is worth it.

Tap it with the GreenGreen generating ability of Sachi, Daughter of Seshiro- Bingo! Effectively taps for 4

Or perhaps another set with snow, but not as a main focus, just the focus of green. It would be cool to see snow pop up but not be the major thing

I just can't wait this to be reprinted in next snow-set.
This is cool and so is (most of) other snow-cards.

Honestly like Springleaf Drum over Multani's Harmony in almost any case. It's like equipment with Equip 0 and at instant speed.

I am pretty sure Master of Etherium would run this in a haste deck

Perhaps one of the best cards to combo this with is Garruk's Packleader. Get one of these out fast with green mana ramp, poke someone with it, get out either another one of these or the Packleader, and then just use the mana ramp to have your deck put out tons of 3+ power creatures each turn. Your friends will hate you for it.

P.S. Look for creatures that have only one in their mana cost for more effective creature spam!

@r-e-meatyard: 2GreenGreen, and the Green is Snow mana!

This is telling you "YOU PLAY THOSE SPELLS IN YOUR SECOND MAIN PHASE SILLY"

For the longest time, I didn't even know this was Snow. Fascinating that this would show up again in Future Sight. Or, wait, wasn't Future Sight before Coldsnap? Even more fascinating!

Forgive me if any of these have been mentioned but I didn't see them:
Presence of Gond
Hankyu Sort of expensive to equip.
Viridian Longbow Ping while you tap, less to equip than Hankyul.
Utopia Vow Costs more than Multani's Harmony but can pacify an opponents creature.
Paradise Mantle Again like Multani's Harmony, but usually better. This can also be used to tap any number of Centaur Omenreaders since tapping each will pay the cost to move it to the next.
Leonin Bola Costs 1 each time but also taps an opponent's creature, or a second Centaur Omenreader!

Krosan Drover was Already conditonal. This one is much less conditonal then that.

Holy crap. (Same with any other flash creatures so you can be sure to get the benefit before he potentially dies.)

I could see a centaur being the future shifted Theros card.. but what the heck is a snow creature??

You seem to be unfamiliar with Coldsnap/Ice Age

I'm gonna call a reprint of this guy in the Warlords of Khanar block and a corresponding snow-covered Standard season. Winter is coming.
