Aetherspouts and Whisk Away also care. Sweep Away cares as a bonus, not a restriction. I think blue might be secondary in caring about creatures attacking.
Yeah; that's a white spell that somehow got printed in blue.
The attacking restriction came from Aetherize.
I'd ditch the "attacking" restriction. That's white's thing. Blue doesn't care.
And if any colour was going to shuffle an opponents hand; it would be blue. Love it :)
So this is sort of a zero-cost unsummon as long as tyou have a creature to splice it to? I like it.
Imma tell you right now, don't even concern yourself with the name because its just a haphazard string of words.
3 to 2
Wizards aren't terribly uncommon in white.
I tend to switch between symmetrical and asymmetrical depending on how hard I want to push the card. To be fair, it's body is better than it's ability right now, since the number of snow instants and activated abilities that could be used during your own turn is low.
Removed from the ability cost.
Take out the black. Activation of pure-snow for the sab effect.
It's also a nastily black-style card-draw. Very flavourful.
I wanted to use snow mana on a black rare and phoned it in on the design tbh. How would you simplify the cost?
Wizard, huh? Those are pretty rare in white.
The new ability is... interesting. Might make one reconsider when is the best moment to play it. It's also symmetrical which is something we don't see so much these days.
Does this want both black and snow requirement in the triggered cost? You paid black for the creature already.
I guess it's fine as-is, but simplifying the cost has value. It could be that you want the awkward cost to push the power level of the effect - which is decently rare/uncommon-worthy.
Forgot UEOT, added flavor text, and changed name
"When Starguide enters the battlefield reveal the top card of your library. If a creature with a power of 2 or less was revealed this way, add that creature to your hand." to a snow-hosing ability. This idea was taken from Dragon Hunter
Uncommon 2/1s for tend to have some kind of specific ability now. Usually that ability is tied to a theme of the set or showcasing a mechanic of the set though. I will take that into consideration when trying to give this card a new ability. There's no Star flavor; I arbitrarily picked a name as I usually do. I think namewise I was going for someone who looked to the stars to navigate the group because that sounded fantastical and I was tired of saying wolf and pack.
These even chain together. Are 2/1 vanillas for really this obsolete? Anyway, I think it would be better if the ability didn't reward going full weenie.
Star flavor springs to my mind:
> When ~ ETBs, look at the top card of your library. If it's an enchantment card, you may reveal it and put it into your hand.
That would still be useful if you had a weenie deck that focused on buffing your dudes with Auras, but wouldn't just say "play as many copies of me and other weenie creatures as you can" so not so linear.
As an example, I did a 2/1 for with an ability (Healer of Hurts) that helped a quite specific strategy ( archetype with Feed the Emptiness & Dissolving Malevolence among others) though it's also an enchantment creature which makes it a high-pick anyway in the environment in question.
I'm not certain the "What I want" is really what you should want.
What I want: a 2/1 for 1 that gives a reward for having a weenie on the top of the player's library. Worries: This might be white card advantage, which seems generally advised against, although white occasionally gets it now usually in some weenie-based interaction, so maybe it's okay.
