Snow-Covered Lands

[Thomas David Baker]

How rare were they back in the day?

How can I get hold of some?

Who has a massive stockpile that they are saving for a rainy day but could never use all of them?

[Charlie Grover]

I think i have about 10 of each, but im not 100% sure :S

[Amidu]

"back in the day" it would be something written on a borrow list for not just me :D

[Thomas David Baker]

Oh. So they weren't one-per-booster or something like that? I guess this is why people are charging a lot for them.

[Paul Laudano]

I have some from Ice age, not sure how many though. Why?

[Dan Barrett]

exactly.

think your best bet might be buying some coldsnap theme decks, at a guess?

Lots of EDH decks run them instead of vanilla basics to support a couple of spells.

I'm assembling an EDH deck database and it just got me curious.

They were basically one per booster (i think it was like 5 per 6 boosters).....of ice age block....
