Blizzard • $5 • Action - Attack - Duration
Now and at the start of your next turn, +1 Card per Blizzard in play (anywhere).
On each other player's turn until then, when they play a card that gives them +Actions, they gain a Snow.

It's confusing that in one case, it's "put the card into your hand" and in the other "+1 Card", when the effect is almost always the same. I would suggestFrozen City is the same as my card herding village that's here (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=21218.0) but it has +1 Card and gain a snow instead of +1 Action.

Name a card, then reveal the top card of your deck and put it in your hand. If you did not name it, gain a Snow.Also the text you have in your quote is wrong.

My Submission:I like this but it is probably too weak. Suppose you use this on Smithy. The immediate net benefit is +2 Cards on play and the delayed net cost is -4 Cards. Sure, you can mitigate this with sifters, Remodels our out-of-hand trashers but I nonetheless think that the costs outweigh the benefits on average.

Play an Action card costing up to $4 from your hand twice. Gain a Snow per $1 it costs
My submission is Arctic Citadel. It uses Week 11's Acts (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20806.msg870890#msg870890) mechanic, and allows a player to Throne an cheap(ish) Action card from their hand, at the cost of gaining Snows. The price limit will generally keep it from being used with overly-powerful cards, and the gaining will tend to discourage players from using it too much. There are a handful of combos that will be particularly strong: with Ferry and a $2 card (allowing those to be throned for free); with other discounting (e.g. Highway); or with $0 non-Supply Actions like the WoW and the Prizes. While each of those are quite strong, I don't think any are particularly busted, since each will take at least a bit of time to pull off.
A fun card that can gain you quite a lot of horses or snows: The non-vicotry part is good to have as to make it not just a "gain a province" in the end. However, From what i see, you can gain potion and debt cards for no Snow penalty, and that makes it lose a lot of points for me. Still, seems fun!QuoteSanta's Workshop
$4 Action
Gain a non-Victory card.

A fun lab variant. It doesn't quite excite me, but i can see it in an snow-themed expansion pack.

Action - $4

Reveal the top card of your deck. If it's an Action card, play it, otherwise gain a Snow.
My SubmissionA strong lab that changes it's drawback depending on when in the game you play it. I have no clue as what its Power level is, but it seems fun! And cards that makes everyone else draw cards is quite fun as well. It probably has a high skill ceiling, and quite a few fun interactions with Cards like Necromancer. Probably busted with overlord and Band of misfits, but thats not a big problem.

To make it the same as a normal lab, you have to buy 3 levels, or 12$ and 3 Buys: Im not sure about this card, but i dont see anything wrong with it right now.QuoteMountain Road - Action Level, $4 cost.

Ice FishermanAn interesting lab variant, As i't would be way too strong in most circumstances, but with snow it becomes more balanced, maybe even bad, since it's a cantrip in the long term. Its probably a strong opener that enables new strategies. I was unimpressed at first, but it has depth (drumroll)

(https://i.imgur.com/oGSQ0lr.png)This is essentially is a non-terminal trasher. Quite interesting, as normally cards like these only trash other treasures. But having to draw the "trashed" card before getting rid of it again is a big cost, even if you get +2$ with it. I like it.

My Submission:A fun throne-room event, that gives you quite a lot of flexibility now but with a steep cost in the future. Kingdoms with this would be radiclly altered most of the time, but the snow drawback seems like a good balance. And the last few turns would probably get pretty bonkers. i like it a lot.

Nice judging.
I was wondering why Snow has a cost of $3? Is the idea that it should be good fodder for remodeling?
Interestingly, Beri's entry could be worded more naturally if Snow cost $5, while my entry would be better if Snow cost $0 (I didn't like that you could Ice-Crystal your starting Coppers into cards costing $6).
