Snowball Realm
Snow Land

~ comes into play tapped.

:t:: Add :g: to your mana pool.

:1: ,{Q}: Add :w:, :u:, :b: or :r: to your mana pool. Play this ability only if there are exactly two cards in your graveyard with the same name as ~. (Q is the untap symbol.)

It depends only on your point of view what you'll see.

I mean it kinda sucks...

I'd rather have my snow-covered forests come into play untapped and not have useless abilities.

So it comes into play tapped, taps for a :g:, and filters one mana for any color IF you have three of these things in your graveyard? Am I reading it right? If I am, yeah, I have to agree with jodokast. Even without the crazy/harsh downside I'd say there's plenty of room for improving the card.

How about making the 2nd ability playable if you have at least one card named Snowball Realm in your graveyard?

Well, but add Fertile Ground and you'll have infinite mana combo that generates any color (even snow) with just two cards and can be powered in turn three..

But I will change it to exactly two other so it can be more easily reachable and to provide some more space to disrupt it..

It's not a two card combo until you explain how you got all the other copies into your graveyard. And then explain what card is going to USE that infinite mana, otherwise you just mana burn.

So that's actually a four card combo: Snowball Realm (this) + Fertile Ground + something like Mana Severance...but Mana Severance RFG the lands + Fireball (or some such).

Four card combos aren't usually that good unless all the pieces do other good stuff in addition to the combo. Not so here, where if any part of your combo gets disrupted, the whole thing falls apart. Not exactly the best victory plan.
