Blessing of Frost
Snow Sorcery
Distribute X +1/+1 counters among any number of creatures you control, where X is the amount of ❄ spent to cast this spell. Then draw a card for each creature you control with power 4 or greater. (❄ is mana from a snow source.)

Fingers crossed for no basic snow lands this time. I think constructed snow decks would be a lot more interesting if their lands were more like Great Furnace and less like Snow-Covered Mountain.

Awesome if real. I love snow and want to see it developed more.

I'm just dropping by to add text versions to the OP. Image links can break, not load or just be hard to read so I wanted to put a text version in at the top of the post.

I'm pretty sure this, and by extension the others, are fake. I doubt they'd put snow, the only tribal other than legendary that doesn't work with changelings in the changeling set.

But they already spoiled a few legendary creatures already, so it isnt exactly out of the question. Actually, I believe this, the Saga, Pyre of Heroes, and Realmwalker are the only nonlegendary nonland cards spoiled, whereas Ranar, Lathril, Kaya, Vorinclex, Magda, Arni, Toski, the MDFC God/Equipment, and Saruff have all been legendary.

They've spoiled legendary creature. They haven't spoiled any legendary tribal. And unlike legendary, the "snow" type doesn't do anything unless there's cards that care about its typing. If there weren't cards that care that there's "snow" in the typeline, there'd be no reason to make it snow in the first place.

I believe that every card that cares about snow mana has snow in the typeline. So even if this set only cares about snow mana from lands it would still be in the typeline here. That said snow mana does inherently care a little about the typeline. Boreal Druid makes snow mana but a changeling elf doesn't.
Having both mechanics causes a bit of friction but not much.

It this is real, it seems likely snow is being used simply for batching and such. This has an effect tbat does nothing without snow mana, so I expect to see that on most or all snow instants and sorceries

Huh ... Just realized that the reminder text specifies Snoe Sources ... Could this mean there might be a snow-version of pyretic ritual as well? I mean Arcum's Astrolabe mentions Snow Permanent.

In both Coldsnap and Modern Horizons, there was a theme of "snow typing matters", with stuff like Iceberg Cancrix, Diamond Faerie, Goblin Furrier, and Dead of Winter. Otherwise, snow typing on any card that isn't a land or a manadork would be flavor text.

It would also be kind of weird to apply an alt-frame now if nothing cared
