Parallax Tide/Parallax Wave: are they good in Brago EDH? I see lots of lists run them, but i cant figure out the right way to play them. I know with Tide you can basically untap all of your lands each of your main phases, but what about Wave? is that even worth a slot in the deck? Can someone please shed some light on how to use them and if they are good?

Thanks!

I think most people would use them to keep several of their opponent's best lands and creatures in continual suspense, resetting with Brago as necessary, etc. I think they're quite potent.. like powered up versions of Oblivion Ring.

on the other hand once you put Opalescence or Starfield of Nyx into play then you can infinitely remove things.

Parallax Tide is only worth it (IMO) if you're playing Brago the super stax-y / land denial way, because then you need all the untap effects you can get. If you're just doing the bounce house route it quickly accelerates you to more mana than you know what to do with, and you might be better off running a more proactive untap effect, like Treachery or Palinchron.

Parallax Wave on the other hand is amazing. It continually keeps up to four of your opponents threats off the board, is a token murder machine, can be an emergency blink effect, and can save your creatures from almost any removal. One of the best cards in any Brago list.
