    Re: [Primer/Deck] High Tide

    Randomness like that is why some argue for either maindeck win conditions and/or bounce.

    I understand the arguments above for maximum efficiency. But, 1 out of 60 isn't that bad especially with...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] High Tide

    I like this thought process.

    I agree many overlook the importance of actually getting to the point to cast HT --> TS. A maindeck bounce will still be useful for Chalice and hatebears. I like...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] High Tide, version, Spiral Tide

    It doesn't work that way on Magic Online (mtgo). Clock is not an issue on mtgo.

    Re: [Primer/Deck] High Tide

    I don't since I want to have a maximum number of spells for PiF. This includes running 3 turnabout main to work with Intuition (plus the intuitions themselves) so there actually isn't much space for...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] High Tide

    Past in flames turn intuition into a super tutor that creates significant card advantage.

    Post time spiral the obviously goal is to cast more high tides and untap effect to generate more mana in...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] High Tide

    This looks like my MD just -1 meditate, -1 Preordain, +2 pieces. Pieces consistently pulls it weight for me. I also advocate red splash for pif. It's another engine with intuition and can greatly...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] High Tide, version, Spiral Tide

    Sideboard at best. Debatable if it needs to be in the 75. In any case, not a maindeck card.

    Re: [Primer/Deck] High Tide

    The above is full of sound logic / advice. One thing I advocate is thinking of the deck as a combo deck first and a control deck second. Counterbalance and tons of tops doesn't facilitate winning....

    Re: [Primer/Deck] High Tide, version, Spiral Tide

    I don't necessarily disagree with you.

    It's clear I put more stock in Meditate. Certainly not the best versus Eldrazi. I think it is fine versus miracles since a counter war is inevitable. I like...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] High Tide, version, Spiral Tide

    That is an interesting card. Especially since it fulfills the role of turnabout and meditate post combo. Two things give me pause about playing in as high of numbers as you suggested. First, it isn't...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] High Tide, version, Spiral Tide

    Snap + SCM is not really that efficient of a package. Pre-combo you would rather merchant scroll / Intuition (more efficient) rather than SCM a cantrip. Snap is marginal versus most of the metagame....

    I'd play Past in Flames and at least 1 more intuition

    Re: [Primer/Deck] High Tide

    I'll be on the other side of the fence. I really like Wish.

    IMO have cards like BSZ or Brainfreeze in my hand feel even more clunky because they have less utility. I'm stating the obvious when a...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] High Tide

    The effects are good. The obvious problem is it costs too much and you don't have a reliable way of finding it. I think it you power through high tide and time spiral then it is a "win more" card. I...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] High Tide

    I've advocated UR High Tide off and on for a while. This is my go to when I play high tide but I don't use Candels / Tops. PiF plays better with spells and lets you abuse intuition. The red sideboard...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] High Tide

    2 Volcanic Islands and 1 Past in Flames.

    Remember a major benefit is getting full value (and abusing) Intuition. This encourages you to adjust the deck construction accordingly and ultimately, at...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] High Tide

    Play Past in Flames. The red splash isn't as debilitating as people make it out to be. Just play around wasteland (not hard) and adjust your sideboard accordingly (less concern vs permission).

    Re: [Primer/Deck] High Tide, version, Spiral Tide

    I like two in the main. I dont think you need a third in the board. Finding one of the two is easy and I'm not sure if I'd want to board in a third

    Obviously worse????? I think you're discounting it too much. I honestly prefer it. With PiF youe essientially can't fizzle. The real benefit comes from being able to effectively run Intuition for...
