Snowblind
Enchantment — Aura
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature gets -X/-Y. If that creature is attacking, X is the number of snow lands defending player controls. Otherwise, X is the number of snow lands its controller controls. Y is equal to X or to enchanted creature's toughness minus 1, whichever is smaller.

Snowblind locks a creature out of blocking for as long as you keep paying its snow upkeep — a soft-tap effect that compounds in snow-heavy builds where you're already generating Snow mana. It's narrow enough that only dedicated snow decks want it, but in those shells it does real work.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is where Snowblind has its only real home, specifically inside snow-matters decks that can reliably produce Snow mana to sustain the cumulative upkeep. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but completely outclassed — there are faster, cleaner ways to neutralize a blocker without committing to an ongoing tax. Snowblind isn't a card those formats ever wanted, and nothing has changed that calculus.

Price Context
Current price
$0.85 bulk tier
At $0.85, Snowblind sits at the top of bulk — accessible but not a throw-in. The price reflects its narrow demand: snow decks are a genuine Commander archetype, so there's a small but steady ceiling holding it above true bulk floor.
