| | Snow-covered basic lands | I had heard that somebody got DQed at the recent PTQ for playing snow-covered basic lands so I went to the rules to make sure and here is something I found: Originally Posted by MAGIC: THE GATHERING® DCI FLOOR RULES
121. Deck Size Limits
Constructed decks must contain a minimum of sixty cards. There is no maximum deck size; however, players must be able to sufficiently randomize their deck within the time allotted.
With the exception of basic land cards, a player’s combined deck and sideboard may not contain more than four of any individual card, counted by its English card title. All cards named Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest are basic. (The five basic snow lands, also known as “Snow-Covered lands”—Snow-Covered Plains, Snow-Covered Island, Snow-Covered Swamp, Snow-Covered Mountain, and Snow-Covered Forest—are also basic lands. Note that basic snow lands, also known as “Snow-Covered lands” lands are permitted only in formats that allow the Ice Age™, Alliances™, and/or Coldsnap™ sets.)
So it looks like in Standard tournaments right now that snow-covered lands are not permitted. So anyone using them just swap them out for basics please.
