Journey to the snowy winterlands of the past with the Coldsnap set - the long-lost finale of the Ice Age block. Experience a modern take on a Magic the Gathering classic.
Aurochs Stampede (Red/Green)
The Ice Age card Aurochs is a creature with trample that, when it attacks, gets a bonus for each other attacking Aurochs. At the time, there was only one question: What other Aurochs? The "Aurochs Stampede" deck finally answers that question, as three new Aurochs show up to really get the herd rumbling.
Keep the first few Aurochs you assemble as safe as possible while building up your herd. In fact, Aurochs Herd is the card that can help you out the most, since it will find more Aurochs in your deck. If you use the Herd's ability to fetch another Herd, or you start bringing them into the fold with Hibernation's End, you can keep playing Aurochs until the cows come home!
Beyond the Grave (Black/Red/Green)
To a necromancer, death is the most delicious part of life-and when playing the "Beyond the Grave" deck, you're the necromancer. Don't hesitate to send your minions to their doom, because each death increases your dark powers. The more corpses you produce, the more zombie fodder you'll have, and the more spells you'll return from your graveyard to your hand.
Kjeldoran Cunning (White/Blue)
The noble Kjeldoran Soldiers have teamed up with the crafty Zuran Wizards to build an army that can outfight and outthink any foes. With the "Kjeldoran Cunning" deck, you're the general of that army. You'll need all your wits about you to win the fight.
Before too long you'll have an array of Soldiers on the battlefield, hopefully led by Field Marshal. Sometimes that's enough to win the game, as you can simply overwhelm an inferior defense. In the games when that's not possible, you've got another strategy. Your opponent won't be able to fight through your ground troops to damage you, so you're safe until you find a breakthrough threat like Kjeldoran Gargoyle, Jötun Owl Keeper, or Wings of Aesthir.
Snowscape (Black/Blue)
Grab your mittens and a shovel, because it's hip-deep in snow in here! With the "Snowscape" deck, you'll harness the powerful magic of the ice to freeze out your opponents. The deck is filled with snow permanents and cards that get more powerful with snow permanents around. Get a few of them working together, and the cold won't be the only reason your opponent will be shivering.
