Halimar Tidecaller

Anybody tried this little lady out?

A CONSIDERABLY worse snapcaster still seems playable to me.

Control with Scatter to the Winds, Ruinous Path, some man lands. Bob's your bloody uncle.

Just wondering if anyone's given this a shot, and how it went?

Should have been a Merfolk?

She does work in a Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper control shell. I've seen a few decks around and they look fun. Some even splash red for Jeskai Ascendancy.

There is a guy in my precon league that magically pulled two ruinous path's and two of her and went undefeated in our first week using that synergy alone.

I love the card. I certainly think it will see some play in standard. Recurring cards like that seem to be very powerful. Even those one mana cost ones. Obviously reccuring counterspells and removal spells are a lot stronger but even Clutch of Currents and Rush of Ice don't seem toooo bad when paired with Halimar Tidecaller.

I love her, I love the art, I love ETB effects, I love stupid combos with Mirror Mockery that allow me to Clutch of Currents/Rush of Ice then swing then cast it again.

I would just like to say that its not a worse snapcaster its not even close to a snapcaster it doesnt do the same thing. It IS however a situational Eternal Witness that doesnt make you jump through hoops like Den Protector or cost a lot like Greenwarden of Murasa so yes this card is very good play it its just value if it resolves.
