What do you use {Snowfall} for?

All of my snow islands make {U}{U}{U} while it's out. The upkeep cost is negligible. It's basically an extra {Extraplanar Lens}

Not exactly. You can only use the extra mana produced by {Snowfall} to pay cumulative upkeep costs. There is no such restriction on {Extraplanar Lens}.

I literally completely missed that line. No wonder no one else uses it... ._.

 {Telepathy} - it's a great 1 drop that when you are running a control type deck really helps. Knowing what is possibly coming and what is important to counter (or if one or more of your opponents have an answer for something you were going to do) can really make it feel like you are cheating. Seriously, try running this. 

I run this in a grixis control type edh and most of the time it will sit on the board, because most people don't want to use enchantment removal (is it just me or are most edh decks low on this - unless they are running  {Aura Shards})  on a 1 drop.  A lot of the time it will actually make players target each other because they see what is in the other persons hand and meanwhile as the controller of it you keep your gameplan 'secret' and streamlined (pro plays all day ;) )

I actually considered Telepathy, because I have a foil. However, one person has already tried playing it and everyone in my playgroup hates it. So no Telepathy for me. =P

Lol, thanks. I've already taken out a lot of win conditions because my playgroup is seriously not serious, lol. Everything for the Sensei's top draw combo came out, except for the top. The Brain freeze came out. Along with like 3 counterspells, which I might end up putting back in...
Added some janky fun stuff in it's place. Plan on tossing {Havengul Runebinder} in there at some point. =P
I won't be posting the more casual list in this thread, but if anyone's interested in it, I'll post a new list.

Wow, I was seriously -1'd for saying that I wasn't going to play {Telepathy}?
