Blessing of Frost — ruling 1

Because Blessing of Frost doesn’t target any creatures, you determine how the +1/+1 counters will be distributed as Blessing of Frost resolves. Players may respond to Blessing of Frost as normal, and they’ll know how much snow mana you spent to cast it, but they won’t necessarily know how the counters will be distributed.

Blessing of Frost — ruling 2

Because none of the creatures are targeted, you can choose to put +1/+1 counters on a creature with protection from green, for example.

Blessing of Frost — ruling 3

You determine how many creatures you control with power 4 or greater as Blessing of Frost is resolving, after +1/+1 counters have been put on creatures.

Blessing of Frost — ruling 4

If you cast Blessing of Frost without spending snow mana, no +1/+1 counters will be distributed. You may still draw cards if your creatures are large enough.

Blessing of Frost — ruling 5

If Blessing of Frost is copied, no mana was spent to cast the copy, so no +1/+1 counters will be distributed. You may still draw cards if your creatures are large enough.

Blessing of Frost — ruling 6

Snow is a supertype, not a card type. It has no rules meaning or function by itself, but spells and abilities may refer to it.

Blessing of Frost — ruling 7

The {S} symbol is a generic mana symbol. It represents a cost that can be paid by one mana that was produced by a snow source. That mana can be any color or colorless.

Blessing of Frost — ruling 8

Snow isn’t a type of mana. If an effect says you may spend mana as though it were any type, you can’t pay for {S} using mana that wasn’t produced by a snow source.
