I wanted to get some opinons on this deck idea that I've been working on for a while now and was hoping someone might be able to give me a little insight/take a liking to my idea and be able to help me improve upon it. Sadly I don't have all the cards listed - I'm still working on collecting them, but I've always had an affinity for ice and have been wanting to make something like this for a while now, so here it goes:
Land20x
Snow-Covered Island 
2 x
Scrying Sheets 
Creatures
4x
Frost Raptor 
2x
Frost Titan 
2x
Heidar, Rimewind Master 
4x
Martyr of Frost 
4x
Rimewind Cryomancer 
4x
Rimewind Taskmage 
4x
Wall of Frost 
Other Spells
4x
Frost Breath 
3x
Frozen Solid 
3x
Ice Cage 
4x
Counterspell 
(Okay, so it's not ice, but it was reprinted in Ice Age so that kind of counts. That, and I needed a spell counter that didn't target just green or red. ^^; )
Avg Casting Cost = 2.87
Incase you haven't deciphered it, this deck is fairly based around creature lockdown. It tries it's best to keep creatures down and make them stay down...unless
that wicked woman 
comes out to play...I hate her so. *cough* Anyway, it's built to be annoying and I expect people to not like me after playing against this deck or even so much as giving me the...cold shoulder? :3 *shot*
The only problem that I see is that I couldn't find very many heavy hitters that would fit my theme, be blue, and cost effective. I'm really hoping to keep it Monoblue - I've always imagined that "proper" ice decks should be blue as that is the color of ice...though I guess you could say it's white because of snow or even colorless because a majority of it is actually clear and not blue but when one thinks of cold they often associate it with the color blue so that's what I'm going for. *shakes fist*
Other spells I thought of that would be interesting/fit the theme:
Crippling Chill 
- Replace Frost Breath/swap two for? That way I get some draw acceleration in there.
Frostwind Invoker 
- Expensive ability, but it would give my creatures (Mainly my Titans) flying.
Icy Manipulator 
- Exchange for Taskmasters since it doesn't require the snow land to use?
Permafrost Trap 
- Sideboard for Frost Breath incase I play against a green deck?
Rimefeather Owl 
- With how many snow lands that will already be had, this would be a massive flyer that could smack people upside the head something fierce. They're a bit on the expensive side, though.
Ideas anyone? :3
Removed as per suggestion: Rune Snag 
and
Flash Freeze 
Counterspell was printed in Ice Age so technically counts and it's better than a conditional counter. Thanks Krichaiushii! ^ ^
