This Snow-Covered Island card would benefit decks that rely on blue mana sources, particularly those that utilize snow-covered lands for synergies with other cards that care about snow permanents. While it is a solid inclusion in decks looking to enable snow-matters mechanics, such as those in Modern Horizons 2, there may be better options like Scalding Tarn or Flooded Strand for decks seeking more versatility and consistency in fetching specific land types. Ultimately, the decision to include Snow-Covered Island in a deck would depend on the specific synergies and strategies of the deck in question.

Rules

02/05/21

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.

02/05/21

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 using mana that wasn’t produced by a snow source.

02/05/21

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