Tidal Force Discussion

MindAblaze on I'm going to have to ask you to come with me...

the.beanpole I think I'm going to use Reflector Mage instead of AEther Adept, not Man-o'-War. Don't know how I forgot about RM. Kor Cartographer is useful. What do you think I should replace?

Zero1911 I agree, Tidal Force is a bit high on the curve, and I would rather it be ETB instead of each upkeep.

Love the deck +1. Did you think about Tidal Force? Fits well tho a bit high on the mana curve.

Cutler on Tap God

Tidal Force Too expensive id rather the Intruder Alarm -like affects; cheaper/more creatures untapped = more useful

Wall of Frost dont find myself blocking a lot and if i do i just use a clone or Revenant -like effect

Oblivion Sower Not great land ramp for what it is and in a 100 card singleton format searching for a usually 35/100 chance that goes down for each land they have in play this seems kinda bad besides its big booty

Silumgar, the Drifting Death might be good for clearing weenies other than that same as o-sower kinda beefy booty but not a lot else helpful

Arcane Laboratory I don't like stax in non stax decks that nets me advantage only in the form of slowing tf out of my opponents think more Rhystic Study than your suggested "Winter Orb" The other suggestions seem solid ill add them to the maybeboard the only reason I am currently lacking Thran Dynamo & Gilded Lotus is due to the ridiculously broken "my wallet is not bottomless" conundrum. i have like 4 other decks with them in atm and it gets kinda pricy the more of them you need :( (curse you staples that wizards retardedly doesn't reprint!)

Hey nice looking Phenax deck! I got some fun ideas looking at it.... Illusionist's Bracers, Intellectual Offering, Paradox Engine, Breaking Wave, Intruder Alarm, Tidal Force, Wall of Frost, Shield Sphere, Undead Alchemist, Oblivion Sower, Dreamborn Muse, Silumgar, the Drifting Death, Thran Dynamo, Gilded Lotus, Arcane Laboratory. Cheers!

Hey, nice mill deck :) always wanted to build one of these. One of my favorite words to find on a magic card is "whenever". With that in mind I got a few card ideas to share:

Sewer Nemesis, Hedron Crab, Riddlekeeper, Illusionist's Bracers, Paradox Engine, Hollowsage, Arbiter of the Ideal, Tidal Force, Dramatic Reversal, Intellectual Offering, Breaking Wave, Rings of Brighthearth

Happy gathering!

You can go infinite with Stasis if you use Ral Zarek, Tidal Force or a few others I can't remember. I'd suggest Meishin, the Mind Cage to make all creatures useless. Silent Arbiter can control combat pretty well. Wall of Shards can help you raise other players' life totals.

CaptSillva on Babie's first jhoira

1 year ago

Well the thing to keep in mind with Jhoira is that she is actually considered a top tier commander. This is because the commander format tends to be very slow and top heavy. It is not unusual for games to go on for 10+ turns. Which gives you more than enough time to benefit from Jhoira's effect.

With that said, in order for her to be good you need to refocus on the long game. Because in this format burst or short time gain type of effects are considered quite weak unless they completely change the state of the game. Rather than Ritual effects you do indeed want to focus on mana adding artifacts since they stick around and will be more beneficial in the long run.

Alright here is a short list of strong threats you could try. Omniscience, Tidal Force, Inkwell Leviathan, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, Molten Primordial, Tyrant's Familiar, Akroma, Angel of Fury, Magmatic Force, Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius, Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind, Scourge of the Throne, Charmbreaker Devils, Consecrated Sphinx, Etherium-Horn Sorcerer, Frost Titan, Inferno Titan, Deadeye Navigator, Stormsurge Kraken, and Arcanis the Omnipotent.

westonawhite on Vorel and the counter doublers

1 year ago

I have a similar deck except it is much more centered around hydras. For protection, you can add Champion's Helm. It gives Vorel protection from opponents but lets you untap him. It's pretty much a Swiftfoot Boots. Also, i agree with others, Tidal Force is just too slow. You can replace it with Fatestitcher if you want. Also a pet card of mine, (probaly a bit too slow though) is Ludevic's Test Subject. Just a thought.
