Repeatable one-sided fog? OUCH.

Better than Fog, since Sub-Zero Shaman (and any other snow creatures you might have) are still dealing combat damage. Works well while attacking, too.

That's the on-sided bit. Your creatures will all be snow; your opponentif you didn't swap this out to sideboard; then your opponents creatures are not. It's devastating being able to have this once - every turn? Ouch.

I tried to make the ability more snow-mana intensive, but that's probably not going to stop this card much. I do want a repeatable Fog effect though. Could that be done at a price? Sacrificing a snow land or two sounds steep. Would that balance the card?

It can be done. I just fear it'll be as horrid as shadow. Worse, even.

Sacrificing card advantage would be the expected price. The issue with Fog-effects is that they already Time Walk an opponent to a degree. If they don't cost you a card, they are board stalls incarnate.

Think about the play pattern of a TurboFog deck and what getting the effect for a pure mana investment would mean for that deck. Is that something you want to promote?

Yeah, some sacrifice, whether of a card or a creature or a land or something, would make this much more "Oh, ok, that's situationally powerful" rather than "Oh crap, that's EVERY TURN"
