This is the Coldsnap-themed deck that Nick brewed up for episode 1 of the Snow-Covered Lands Podcast.

Nick:The deck is using Zedruu at it's helm and a whole lot of cards from Ice Age block to give the deck a very retro feel, even if it means using some less than ideal cards. I first had the idea for the deck when I saw the cumulative upkeep cards that gave you a benefit when you chose not to pay their upkeep cost. The idea was to give them away with Zedruu once you've paid their upkeep costs a couple times, and hopefully barter with people along the way as to who gets it. Unfortunately there aren't quite enough of those cards to build a whole deck around, so I had to add csome more generically good Zedruu cards, but I really like what they did using the cumulative upkeep and age counters.

I don't think this deck is very good, to be honest, but as someone who started playing during Ice Age, and having not played during Coldsnap, this build was a fun way for me to go back in time and remember some cards I used to play with.
