Snow lands for opponents enter tapped, non creature spells by opponents that cost 4 or more cost 2 more.

Legendary Artifact
If an opponents thing would deal 1 or more damage to you or any of your stuff, prevent 1 of that damage.
Whenever you or one of your permanents becomes a target of a spell or ability, counter it unless opponent pays 1.
The casting costs are a little high, but WOW, those effects are +++strongjk.

Imo this is unplayable, WOTC letting us down with both white cards and snow hate yet again. Even against snow this is worse than THC or Archon of Emeria, and the back side is either a bad orbs of warding or an expensive version of the shitty modern storm hate card Amulet of Safekeeping. If the front side was a bit bigger to wall delver or hated snow harder/3cmc cards it would be great.
However, modular cards should not be underestimated, perhaps the whole is better than the sum of its parts. (Considering I love pelakka predation and drown in the loch).
Clearly never played against Swords to Plowshares or Fatal Push.
Unlike History of Benalia, this 4-mana 2-color Standard card has no text if you just spend 1 mana to kill the token. History's advantage was producing 2 bodies in 1 card.
So Force of Will can't be cast for free anymore while Snow.dec plays their lands tapped?
Karn into Lattice costs 14 (6+8) instead of 10 (4+6)?
Echo of Eons costs 4U to flashback and infinity to hardcast?
Peer into the Abyss costs 9? Ad Nauseam costs 7?
The shield side punks Grapeshot, Tendrils of Agony and Brain Freeze. It also makes Elking cost 1 mana and means your Elks one-sidedly kill their Elks in combat (3/3 vs 2/3). Combined with their lands entering tapped, that's a huge tempo hit for Snow.dec.
This might fix some of the more degenerate things in the format.

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may cast a permanent spell from your hand with mana cost equal to 1 plus the highest converted mana cost among other permanents you control without paying its mana cost. If you don't, scry 1.
Hey isn't Allosaurus Rider green?
"among other permanents you control "
If DRS was still legal to encourage the splash, GB Elfball would look tempting.
Between Glimpse and this, that's a lot of potential card draw. But you need a good sac outlet. This may not be enough reason to splash black on its own.
You only get the spell if it matches that specific casting cost, it's not "or less", which is not nearly as powerful as I think most of us are thinking about this at first glance.
Also, Ascendant Spirit

1/1
Snow Snow: make it a 2/3 (permanently)
Snow Snow Snow: make it a 4/4 flying vigilance (permanently)
S S S S: give it 2 +1/+1 counters and "draws a card on damage to a player"
Because for some reason Snowko needed a one drop with tons of lategame power, that also pitches to FoW? Maybe the deck doesn't have room for it.
That green pitch Dryad from Mercadian Masks and Skyshroud Cutter come into mind, too. Not as powerful, but also less all-in.
The amount of mana you can cheat in reminds me of Vial, although the setup is different and it has no flash/uncounterable component. Still, a pretty sweet card, especially if played T1 with ESG or Mox. And at worst, it digs deeper.
Edit:
You're right, that kinda blows.
