High Tide
Deck Help forum

Hi guys. I need to know whether Spiral Tide is competitive or not. I'm really interested in building a Spiral Tide deck, but I don't feel too confident to drop 1000 to building it, as I've heard some discussion about High Tide not being competitive anymore... So, any opinions from experienced legacy players would be greatly appreciated!

Well, I'm a kinda person who thinks that if you're going to build a deck, build it properly, so yes, I'm thinking about running 3-4 candelabras. I know it's a very skill intensive deck, but is that the only reason it's not making the top 8s? If yes, I'll run to my LGS and buy me a Spiral Tide right away.

It has rather good match-ups. I would suggest it if you can dedicate the time to pilot it well.
Be aware that Maverick, which used to be highly in High Tide's favor, has gotten more difficult with Thalia. Consider a Snap mainboard.

I, myself, am a High Tide player. The deck is still very competitive, it just doesn't get played a lot (skill behind piloting the deck) nor reach the top tables too often (players lack the skill).
If you can dedicate yourself to the deck, it is extremely powerful. The big question is: will you run Candelabra of Tawnos
?
