Effect
When this card is Summoned: You can create a number of Ice Counters equal to the number of WATER monsters you control, place them on a face-up monster(s) your opponent controls, then, if you placed 3 or more Ice Counters by this effect, you can destroy 1 card your opponent controls.
The monster effect of "Snowman Creator" is a Trigger Effect. (This effect does not target. It can also be activated during the Damage Step.)
The monster effect of "Snowman Creator" is an optional effect that can be activated when "Snowman Creator" itself is successfully Normal or Special Summoned while face-up.
If you place 3 or more Ice Counters when resolving the effect "place Ice Counters on face-up monsters your opponent controls equal to the number of WATER monsters you control," you can then perform the action "if you placed 3 or more Ice Counters with this effect, you can also choose 1 card your opponent controls and destroy it."
The action of "placing Ice Counters on face-up monsters your opponent controls" and the action of "choosing 1 card your opponent controls and destroying it if you placed 3 or more Ice Counters with this effect" are not treated as occurring simultaneously.
