Ice Age

Thousands of years after the explosion at Argoth ended the Brothers' War, a severe Ice Age has descended over Dominaria, changing the face of the land and reducing the civilizations of Terisiare to scattered tribes. The strong have turned to barbarism. The weak have died. Their struggle is against more than the snow: the people of Kjeldor must battle against the mighty necromancer Lim-Dûl who has begun to conduct twisted experiments. Meanwhile the wizard Zur the Enchanter trains new wizards to survive in the harsh environment.

Alliances

The story follows the events of Ice Age, after the so-called goddess (actually a planeswalker) Freyalise had used her magic to end the Ice Age. As the lands grew warmer, conflicts began to erupt. The Balduvian Barbarians were under constant attacks from a vigilante group headed by a former Kjeldoran knight, General Varchild, and needed to turn to their former foes for help. The Soldevi alliance was breaking down amid fears that their unearthing of artifacts of the Brothers' War (as described in Antiquities) could restart that destructive conflict. And all the while, a wicked necromancer known as Lim-Dûl gathered forces to conquer the entire world.

ColdSnap

Terisiare, the island continent that was home to the Brothers' War and the Ice Age, is in a state of rebirth known as the Thaw. The icy shell that encased the continent is melting away. Most of the inhabitants of Terisiare rejoice as the ice gives way to warmth and the rebirth of the land. But, in this time of great change, there are some who see it as a time to angle for power: a secretive society of mages poised to shroud the continent with their icy brand of magic.

Coldsnap Theme Deck Reprints

Four theme decks were released for Coldsnap. The theme decks were unusual in that they contained selected reprints of older cards from both Ice Age and Alliances. The reprints kept the original artwork but used the new borders, updated Oracle wording and the original expansion symbols were given rarity colors. Collector numbers were also added to the bottom of the cards to show where they would be in the original sets if they were printed today.
