If all your lands are snow, this card will
pretty much kill any card your opponent plays
whenever you want. Aside from the occasional
wall, few creatures have toughness higher than
the number of lands your opponent will have out
by the time you can cast said creature. This
makes Skred the most efficient burn spell in
Standard, and quite possibly ever. It also goes
perfectly into Stuffy Doll decks.

Skred
In a deck with enough snow permanents, this
basically reads "R: Destroy target creature."
Fortunately, red control decks were quite
popular recently, incorporating Stuffy Doll, of
all things. If you're playing that style of
deck, Skred is a great removal spell. If you
hate snow-covered lands for some irrational
reason, this won't appeal to you - just
remember, you're missing out on killing Angels
of Despair for one mana!

Monday's card
is Skred, a red card from Coldsnap. For one red
mana, you can deal damage to a creature equal to
the number of snow permanents you control. I
remember there was a deck that used this that
also used a lot of snow permanents and Stuffy
Doll and combined with Stuffy Doll this can be a
powerful late game win condition if you have
enough snow permanents in play. Without snow
permanents, this card is useless and without
Stuffy Doll, this really can be replaced by
better stuff.
