As a tempo deck, Snow Queen wants to disrupt your opponent and keep manipulating the pace of the game
Suddenly, Sparksmith killed itself, Pinpoint Avalanche took out your opponent's best creatures instead of your best creature, and that Mythic Proportions your opponent just cast decided to enchant Willbender instead of your opponent's Taunting Elf
This is just what the card is based around, however, as dealing damage lets you steal cards from the damaged players graveyard and cast them using mana of any color
The Emerald/Steel deck from Shimmering Skies, however, stands out from other decks in the way it uniquely draws on the cards revealed in the fifth set to help build up your board presence and damage characters
To make up for your it, you will need some heavy card cycling to replenish those frontlines
