Ohran Viper

Description

The Ohran Viper is a distinct Rare card from the 2006 Magic: The Gathering Coldsnap expansion, identified by the set code CSP and card number 115. Designed by artist Kev Walker, this Snow Creature — Snake brings a specific mechanical identity to the game, costing three mana with a power and toughness of 1/3. As a Green-colored card, it fits into strategies focused on green mana sources and snow-themed synergies. Mechanically, the Ohran Viper offers two distinct triggers based on combat damage. When it deals damage to another creature, that creature is destroyed at the end of combat, providing a reliable removal option against threats. If it deals combat damage to a player, the controller has the option to draw a card, offering potential card advantage. This dual-effect design makes it a versatile piece for collectors interested in unique creature abilities within the Coldsnap set. The Coldsnap expansion is well-regarded among Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts for its thematic focus on the Ice Age block's return. Collectors often seek out individual cards like the Ohran Viper to complete their Coldsnap sets or to build snow-themed decks. The card’s rarity as a Rare makes it a sought-after component for those looking to assemble a comprehensive collection of the set. Whether you are a seasoned player looking to expand your library or a new collector exploring the history of Magic: The Gathering, the Ohran Viper represents a key element of the Coldsnap era. Its unique combination of removal and card draw potential continues to make it a notable card in the trading card game landscape.
