(Archetype) Winter Spirits

[Alastar Rainford]

The idea of the archetype came off from making something winter themed, then later wanting to expand the reach and power of Ice Counters.

Each card in the archetype ties to winter folklore and mythology utilizing Ice Counters for control over the opponent.

The play style is very similar to Aliens with their control of A-Counters to gain field presence but a little more aggressive.
