What it does

Distribute X +1/+1 counters among any number of creatures you control, where X is the amount of S spent to cast this spell. Then draw a card for each creature you control with power 4 or greater.

Rulings

10 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2021-02-05

    Snow is a supertype, not a card type. It has no rules meaning or function by itself, but spells and abilities may refer to it.

  • 2021-02-05

    Because none of the creatures are targeted, you can choose to put +1/+1 counters on a creature with protection from green, for example.

  • 2021-02-05

    You determine how many creatures you control with power 4 or greater as Blessing of Frost is resolving, after +1/+1 counters have been put on creatures.

  • 2021-02-05

    The Kaldheim set doesn’t have any cards with mana costs that include S, but some previous sets do. If an effect says such a spell costs 1 less to cast, that reduction doesn’t apply to any S costs. This is also true for activated abilities that include S in their activation costs and effects that reduce those costs.

  • 2021-02-05

    Because Blessing of Frost doesn’t target any creatures, you determine how the +1/+1 counters will be distributed as Blessing of Frost resolves. Players may respond to Blessing of Frost as normal, and they’ll know how much snow mana you spent to cast it, but they won’t necessarily know how the counters will be distributed.

  • 2021-02-05

    Some cards have additional effects for each S spent to cast them. You can cast these spells even if you don’t spend any snow mana to cast them; their additional effects simply won’t do anything.

  • 2021-02-05

    The S symbol is a generic mana symbol. It represents a cost that can be paid by one mana that was produced by a snow source. That mana can be any color or colorless.

  • 2021-02-05

    Snow isn’t a type of mana. If an effect says you may spend mana as though it were any type, you can’t pay for S using mana that wasn’t produced by a snow source.

  • 2021-02-05

    If you cast Blessing of Frost without spending snow mana, no +1/+1 counters will be distributed. You may still draw cards if your creatures are large enough.

  • 2021-02-05

    If Blessing of Frost is copied, no mana was spent to cast the copy, so no +1/+1 counters will be distributed. You may still draw cards if your creatures are large enough.

Every version of Blessing of Frost

4 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Blessing of Frost — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
