triproberts12, Mystic Confluence costs too much mana, and I wish to keep the mana curve of my deck low; Cryptic Command and Mana Drain are too expensive in terms of money. Dissipate is nice, but only truly useful if one's opponent has a dedicated recurrence theme in their deck.

Your explanation was very nice, so I now am deciding between Dissolve and Dream Fracture ; I considered Arcane Denial , but I cannot take the chance that I shall miss the triggered ability (which, regrettably, has happened to me; not far that particular card, but for others cards).

Hey, High Tide is too good in monoblue with all Islands. Many instants allow you to untap lands and these budget cards are great with Tide: Frantic Search , Turnabout , Rewind , Unwind , Snap .

Having cards that can tutor for Tide are helpful: Mystical Tutor , Spellseeker , Merchant Scroll . If you're able to splurge for one card get Mystical because it's so versatile instant for one mana that can be recurred. Blue Sun's Zenith and Pull from Tomorrow are draw spells which you can put a ton of mana into thanks to Tide.

Budget mana rocks to consider: Sol Ring , Mind Stone , Everflowing Chalice , Fellwar Stone , Prismatic Lens , Wayfarer's Bauble , Gilded Lotus . Thought Vessel is another one and it's very good, but not budget even though it's a damn common. Sapphire Medallion and Baral, Chief of Compliance are not mana rocks, but they're two drops who can reduce the mana cost of most of the rest of the spells which is just as good, but they may be too much for the budget here.

Other cards to consider: Ponder , Brainstorm , Preordain , Serum Visions , Mystic Remora , Mystic Confluence .

High Tide Talrand (Budget) is my $160 Talrand deck. Maybe it can give you some ideas, feel free to use it as inspiration.

Good luck with your deck.

I would say Mystic Confluence having three options is great. but to leave that much mana open to counter something... personally isn't that good. and maybe one more suggestion.

Hey, saw your forum topic asking for help.

One of the best things about playing a monocolored Commander is you don't have to spend a lot of money on a playable manabase because it can be all basic lands. This lets you splurge a little on other cards :) Cards to consider adding:

• Ponder
• Preordain
• Serum Visions
• Opt
• Sleight of Hand
• Mystical Tutor : one mana instant tutor to search for any one instant or sorcery card.
• Mystic Remora : one of the best enchantments for draw in multiplayer Commander.
• Merchant Scroll
• Impulse
• Fact or Fiction
• Blue Sun's Zenith : repeatable instant draw since it's put back into your library after it resolves.
• Chain of Vapor
• Archaeomancer : good in combination with spells that can return target creature to your hand so you can play it again recurring spells.
• Spellseeker : can tutor for Tide or any other one or two mana instant or sorcery spell. Very good with bounce spells to be able to bounce it back to your hand and play it again tutoring for another spell.
• Mystic Confluence
• Dig Through Time : powerful spell with delve, when you have a lot of other spells in your graveyard.

High Tide is a card that monoblue can take great advantage of. These cards are good with Talrand because they can be engines to make a lot of Drakes:

• Frantic Search
• Turnabout
• Snap : bounce Archaeomancer back to your hand to then replay it and recur Tide.
• Capsize : six mana bounce spell that can be repeatable with Tide. Repeatedly bounce Archaeomancer and play it to keep recurring and playing Tide.
• Peregrine Drake : having a creature who can untap five lands is good with bounce spells.

If you like some of these cards suggestions I can help you to make cuts.

Good luck with your deck.

Hi, I only run 11 creatures in my Niv Mizzet, Parun deck but I run more spells to protect myself like Evacuation , Cyclonic Rift or Mystic Confluence . I think it depends on your playgroup meta how many creatures you want in this deck.

I would also recommend to get rid of Swiftwater Cliffs , Izzet Guildgate and Highland Lake . Tap lands will only slow you down and basics are probably as good in a two color deck.
