Winter's Night locks down snow lands on the way in and gives them back tapped — punishing opponents while Magus of the Candelabra and similar untappers let you sidestep the drawback entirely. If you're building around snow permanents, this is a stax piece that pulls double duty; if you're not, it's unplayable.

Winter's Night is a Commander card — full stop. The snow-permanent synergy ecosystem is deep enough in the 100-card format to build around, and the stax effect compounds over a long game where opponents cycle through multiple lands per turn. Legacy and Vintage both permit it, but the effect is too slow and too parasitic to compete in those formats. Oathbreaker is the only other home worth considering, and only in a dedicated snow build.
