This cube is designed to be snow style desert cube. Drafters must draft their lands in addition to their spells because no basic land station is avilable to them at the end of the draft. In order to help players with this process the cube has been made slightly larger and players draft 3 packs of 18 cards giving them 9 addtional picks than a typical draft.

The card selection for this cube was also made with heavy emphasis on flavor and theme, with mechanics and synergy being a secondary thought. In this cube the art work of cards must refflect, cold, snow, icy or blizzard conditions to help drive home the concept of the limited avilablty of resources in the enviorment. The only exception to this rule is artifacts which may represent trinkets or tools creatures would need in order to survive in this enviorment. Because of the thematic art focus driving the card selection for this cube, quite frequently there are weaker then average cards in this list which does lead to a larger power band across the cube.

With the current build of the cube just over 60% of the lands are snow producing lands.

Some Archtypes and themes:
-snow
-tap down
-land destruction
-equipment matters
-modified
-barbarian warrior berserker typel
-zombie typel
-go wide

snow:

A number of the creatures and spells in this cube have the snow sub type and interact with other snow permanents or require you to have snow lands in order to cast the spells/ activate abilities. While there are snow cards in all 5 colors but , , have the larger share of the snow permenants.

land destruction:

Resources can be scarce in the blizard. When players have to draft their lands sometimes they dont get alot of lands that produce a certain color, so if you take them off their colors, you can win the game. Found primarily in the Jund colors there are some ways to play a land attrition game.

A couple of cards in this cube that care about being modified with equipment, +1/+1 counters or Aura enchantments. These cards can be great way to tie a couple of diffrent stragies together into one cohesive deck.

Designed around [Lovisa Coldeyes] creatures with barbarian, warrior, and berserker get a stats boost. Most of these creatures are fine attackers and aggresive creatures on their own and do a very good job of wearing equipment to do damage.

zombie typel:
