BEST High Tide! Marcus Ewaldh aka MASTER of Legacy High Tide | Magic: The Gathering Mono-U Storm

[@IeuroI]

i sometimes forget how entertaining high tide can be

[@TonyScapone]

Feels so good to drop basic island every turn!

[@MaxMckayful]

Loving T. Realm as spicy old-school tech. Cool art. Cool card. Also, man is this just the heart of "deeply broken turn" style Storm. The ole when you pop off, you really pop off play pattern.

[@TonyScapone]

Exactly how I like it😏💙🌩💙🌩💙

[@gdfghd]

Hey Tony for context on what the second opponent said in chat. Blahaj is a stuffed shark made by Ikea that young trans communities are really in to. To translate the message fully "my friend said if I win they'll buy me a stuffed shark"

[@TonyScapone]

Lol yes, others have pointed this out thanks.

[@101arg101]

Blahaj is “blue shark” in Swedish. It’s become a little bit of a meme ever since a plushie was made of it

[@TonyScapone]

Lol yea, I had no idea!

[@TribeWars1]

If the op chooses enchantment with teferis realm you'll get it back during your untap step and still get a trigger in your own upkeep to get rid of their hate for a turn. Cool tech!

[@TonyScapone]

[@399pi]

Great video! Funny seeing Elvish Reclaimer matchups three times in a row lol

[@TonyScapone]

🤣Get REKT green!🌩🌩🌩🌩

[@pluviaaeternum]

Jace can play a little better against endurance because you can hold a brainstorm and if they endurance you brainstorm and win in response.

[@TonyScapone]

Interesting. Might have to consider it for PO.

[@kirdiekirdie]

Otawara can be used to cast the first high tide, so it doesn't reduce your mana unless untappers are used.

[@TonyScapone]

Yes. I mentioned this in the video, I believe 🤔

[@pluviaaeternum]

I'm sure you found out in the other hour of the video, but just talking about mentality, there's Defense Grid on the sideboard, you were thinking about your opponents turn and that's why it was hard to figure out Teferi's Realm. this version of the deck is supposed to not care about what the opp is doing

[@TonyScapone]

Yea, I was reading it wrong. I knew it was to deal with hate but I couldn't figure out the wording 😂

[@MIKAEL212345]

Havent finished the video, but I think it is jace over thassa cause you dont want your own dress down getting in your way.

[@TonyScapone]

Verrry good point!

[@chesement4131]

it also draws cards if you ever have to play it before youre completely storming off

[@TonyScapone]

@@chesement4131 this is true!!

[@aegiswings]

Teferi’s Realm is great. I know every time I play it I can take a bathroom break while my opponent reads the card.

[@TonyScapone]

😂😂

[@darkblastal1744]

I love the "1 only card" wincon concept!! Plus it feels quite inevitable, just don't get FONed 😅

[@TonyScapone]

That's all mono U needs!😁😂😂

[@FesteringGhoul]

totally lucky that lands opponent didnt sejerri steppe your snap (which you acknowledged I know). Adding comments to rig the algorithm in your favor dawg. Love the content.

[@TonyScapone]

Hehe, thanks! Yea well it's abzan depths. Maybe they boarded it out? Forget if it was g1. Mbe it was in hand and they dont run 2 any more?

[@asheykamp]

Teferi's realm - Doesn't matter what they choose. If they choose enchantment, whatever. Realm will phase back in on your turn and then you choose whatever piece of hate you need to in order to go off. You an nuke a thalia/canonist, you can phase out a chalice of the void, etc. It's an expensive catch-all anti-hate piece

[@TonyScapone]

Yes...kinda like how I used it in the video?

[@asheykamp]

@@TonyScapone I commented at a part where you seemed pretty lost about how the card worked.

[@darknight1022]

Teferis Realm. Beautiful card. Good SB card, btw.

[@TonyScapone]

Sweet card for sure!

[@stefanodonofrio9522]

Great video Tony !!! I love to see tide 🥶

[@TonyScapone]

Thanks!🌩💙🌩💙🌩💙🌩💙🌩

[@codysanders3949]

At 54:20, it's actually not true that you do not need any permission if your plan is to cast another High Tide. At that point, their USea can now tap for 3 U mana, allowing them to Force pitch blue spell + tap USea for the 3 mana needed for Defense Grid. Obviously, it did not matter and you might not even care. I just thought it is worth mentioning here because that could have been a blowout given what else is in your hand.

[@kirdiekirdie]

Match 1 last game the opponent could have won immediately by thoughtseizing Jace and then Reclaimer for Bojuka Bog, leaving you with no win con.

[@TonyScapone]

Yes. Luckily, we aren't playing open deck list 😅

[@RagingPoo]

If you don't like Defense Grid, maybe a better idea is putting a Tropical Island and some Veil of Summer in the board, replacing some of the Force of Negation as well. It seems like that would be good vs the non-Wastland control decks.

[@TonyScapone]

I feel like this deck already crushes non-wasteland control decks though. Not a bad idea though.

[@MrMerlinMalin]

hi, thanks for video anyone know the channel Marcus on twicht ? thanks

[@nooneatall5612]

I just thought about a crazy anti surgical tech. One cunning wish in the sideboard and you can replace a high tide with it in post board games. Probably horrible and you'd much rather just run 4 high tides but the idea is cool.

[@TonyScapone]

Cute but yea, not ideal. Especially since we have usually already resolved one anyways and will still win most of the time, assuming that they get past our permission as well.

[@peterkirk8510]

9:27 fetching here seems really bad when we have the sanctuary option next turn right

[@TonyScapone]

Yup!

[@tjuppus]

Sweet gameplay! 💙💙💙

[@TonyScapone]

Ayyyyy💙💙💙🌩🌩🌩 and y'all thought I wasn't about activating Jace...😏

[@hamishfox]

Blahaj is a giant shark plush sold by ikea which has become a meme

[@TonyScapone]

Yes. Others pointed this out👍

[@hamishfox]

@@TonyScapone I skimmed the comments but I didn't see it. Oh well at least it's +1 engagement for the algorithm

Blahaj is a shark plushie lol

Omg 😆😆😆 that's funny

M3G1 why not upkeep Dress Down turn 2 to prevent the elf activation

[@TonyScapone]

You gotta put timestamps if you want me to respond to a specific play.

[@TribeWars1]

Man desire is such a big upgrade for high tide. Just unfortunate that it makes solidarity high tide so much worse than spiraltide.

[@TonyScapone]

Yea, I mean..that deck has been unplayable for a while now😕

[@selkokieli843]

The land that casts the first high tide doesn't have to be an island! One otawara is very safe in the mana base.

[@TonyScapone]

Im 99.9% sure I said this in the video. I think in the same part that is illiciting this comment in the first place😒

[@frederikandersen7295]

As safe as mystic sanctuary considering wastelands:)

[@akorthouwer]

Hehe thats also my experience playing high tide feel like no one wants to sit the 2 to 3 minutes out it takes to combo

[@TonyScapone]

Lol. BUT I WANNA DRAW THE CARDSSSS!!

[@haveaboavida]

great video tony but using that merchant scroll art is just offensive

[@TonyScapone]

I agree. The list was from marcus. Not sure if he intended on the chosen art but it seemed pretty specific when i imported so i kept it

[@EvaSlayAllDay334]

😂

[@mattiabragantini1152]

G1 u played misty after getting discarded time spiral instead of playing island and then misty for sanctuary to put spiral on top and try to go off with tide + spiral, the way u played u were 100% relying on topdeck

[@TonyScapone]

Yup. I noticed this as well during editing. I don't always play perfect🙃

[@mattiabragantini1152]

​@@TonyScaponealso i was thinking, in the end you were talking about the defense grids being a bit in contrast with playing forces, that are kinda needed in those interactive matchups. One thing that might be cool, could be instead of playing 2 grids, playing 2 hope of ghirapur, they don't cover bowmasters or breachers, but assuming those are the matches in which you wanna play grids and also snap/dress downs, you probably already have them covered, and since this build runs no faeries, after g1 opponents might cut all removal spells, that way it would almost always connect and you are "free" from interactions even post wheels or with a lot of mana available to opponent

[@TonyScapone]

@mattiabragantini1152 you'd have to tell Marcus, he's the expert! Sounds reasonable. Blockers are annoying too tho.
