on a side note, how is ice actually related to green?

It was a premonition of the coming Ice Age?
Still an awesome early wall.

Yeah, not bad logic Kryptnyt, unfortunately undermined by all the blue cards which are related to ice - just on names there's ice itself (from Fire//Ice), ice cage, ice cave and iceberg, not to mention cards like wall of frost.
Though obviously this made a little more sense in the very early days.

Dead Soldiers (which are white) are often black Zombies (enemy colored) Blue's enemy colors are green and red. When Red fights against water, water's "corpse" is steam. When Green (nature) does battle with water, it is sometimes sucked up into tree roots, or into the ground. But sometimes when weather (an early domain of green) gets involved, "killing" water will result in ice.
In other words, this is the green equivalent of a zombie; a perversion of one of its enemy's threats turned against them.
djflo- somewhere along the line, Green lost its domain of "weather" except for windstorms (Hurricane, Arashi, the sky asunder... windstorm). Tsunami is a green card because it is a powerful natural force, rather than a literal attack by water.
Nowadays, this would be blue - wall of frost. Blue has assumed control over ice completely. Green no longer perverts the enemy's corpse. Black has assumed control over reanimation. White has some reanimation spells, but they all have flavor indicating that it's actually a sort of rebirth, or return to life. The very, very rare time green gets reanimation, it comes in the form of reincarnation.
The color pie is much more defined today, and also much more restrictive. Back in Alpha, any color could be justified doing anything. No lie.
