There's no such thing as snow mana, only mana from a snow permanent, which it would be.

Interesting card, it can be used as Pacifism.

I don't see why this is only rated 3.5/5; it is versatile as everyone has said, but I don't think people realize how little creature control/removal is in green. Plus it only costs 2 mana. At least a 4.5/5 in my opinion.

This could also be good on Vigean Hydropon, cuz it's not like you're gonna attack with it anyways...

I have a lot of love for this card. It's versatility makes it hard for me to find a time when this isn't useful.

I have a question regarding this card...
I have been playing it so that I cast it on an opponent's creature, effectively pacifying it as well as giving ME the option of tapping it to add a mana to my mana pool. However, a friend I recently played against was adamant that when I cast it on his creature it gave HIM the option of tapping it to add mana to his mana pool... What would the correct ruling be here?

It makes the untap creatures from shadowmore almost playable, almost.

you could use this card on llanowar elves or any other card with the tap for mana ability to double its mana output (and effectiveness). just putting it out there.

That Darksteel Colossus of yours just looks like one giant Darksteel Ingot to me...
Also, I'm a bit surprised no one mentioned playing this on Gilder Bairn with Training Grounds-
Infinite counters, anybody?

I understand why Pacifism is rated higher than this even if others are saying its a great card. People are pointing out that this is way better than pacifism because of it's versatility. And that when you have this in your hand you have the option to ramp your mana up OR neutralize an opposing threat.
The problem is, using this to ramp mana up renders one of your creatures useless combat-wise because you have to tap the creature on certain turns and that is what makes this card less appealing. Now, using it as a defensive card is where the comparison to pacifism comes in. Giving the creature a mana ability becomes a drawback or sorts and that again makes this card less appealing.
I'll still give it a 4/5 because it's a planar chaos card and that set is just crazy awesome.
