To ease the confusion, I wish this thing had been printed as "{T}: add {S}(snow mana) to your mana pool."
It produces snow mana, and things which require snow mana never require a specific color. In a Snow deck this guy is as good or better than everyone's favorite Llanowar Elves. Outside of a snow deck it isn't bad exactly, though you'd likely be better off running Birds of Paradise or something.

Can I just quote Hoonster?
While I fail to see where any confusion came about (Seriously guys, my first glance at this card and I was like "ehh, snow-mana elf"), but that aside, he's pretty meh. If he had produced a green, he'd just be Snow-Covered Llanowar, but the fact remains that there's little reason to use him ever, outside of snow-decks which are as good now as their ever likely to get - because magic has a problem of inventing new and exciting ideas, and forgetting 90% of them come next block. Planar Chaos was my favorite block because it actually made a point to integrate all of the tangents and stray abilities and themes throughout magic into what almost looked like a single card game.
I know the whole idea since Dominara went boom was to explore other planes without a real central Main plane or story line, kinda, but I'd like to see at least some focal point where all the new planes become aware of each other and assimilate.

Because of Fyndhorn Elves, Llanowar Elves, and Birds of Paradise, this guy doens't see a whole lot of play, but that doesn't mean he's bad at all. Just different, and with a use that's more narrow.
