Frost Augur lets you look at the top card of your library whenever a Snow permanent enters under your control — in a dedicated snow deck, that's card filtering on a one-mana body. Outside of Isu the Abominable or a similarly snow-dense shell, that trigger fires rarely enough that you're just paying one mana for a 1/1 with no text.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Isu the Abominable
Isu the Abominable builds around stacking snow permanents, so Frost Augur's triggered ability fires constantly — every snow land drop and every creature you play becomes a free look at the top of your library, letting you sequence your turns and bin dead cards.
Jorn, God of Winter
Jorn, God of Winter untaps your snow permanents on combat damage, generating enough snow ETB triggers that Frost Augur turns into a reliable dig engine across a single turn cycle.

Frost Augur is Commander-only in practice — snow synergy at the required density exists almost exclusively in EDH snow-matters builds. In Modern and Pioneer it's legal but ignored; no competitive snow shell needs a 1/1 looker when Scrying Sheets and Ice-Fang Coatl are doing heavier lifting. Legacy and Vintage have access to it but no incentive to run it. The card's entire resume is Commander, specifically the handful of commanders who trigger it enough to matter.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Frost Augur is bulk — pick it up in a trade binder or toss it in a cart as a throw-in. Demand is narrow enough that the price is unlikely to move unless a new snow commander breaks out and spikes the whole archetype.
