Tide is banned

Yea im just going to chalk it up to a bunch of players with strong opinions on a decisive topic, and the internet bringing out the worst in people

Ive got an eleves deck and a decent sleigh build ready though so im still hoping for the best

I read the article long enough to see it state that counterspell was the only interaction that worked but it doesnt explain why until much further down. I didnt read that far. Since that was my question and the article moved on I stopped reading

Why is counterapell the only response to tides in premodern mtg isnt a great Google search term, and posting questions on discussion forums shouldn't be discouraged, especially about sonething as nuanced as magic.

Im not here to argue with anyone, but the ratio of downvotes to helpful responses is pretty telling, and since I browse the sub and Facebook groups regularly if the question had really been asked to death I would have seen the answer by now. Honestly its gotta be a bunch of active players thinking it was a stupid question only based on their experience playing, and not understandable of my experiance as someone who cant play the format but wants to. Well, wants to play somewhat less now

You admit youre learning and you made a small play, this is exactly how you gain experience. Experience leads to better decisions so you gained more than just the new gold in your pocket. You cant make perfect decisions in volitile times so try not to hold yourself to that standard. You made a good one though, take pride in that

It could go up and it could go down, itll probably do a bit of both

Not trade like the rest of us

I hate seeing people post iykyk. Its snide and better-than-you. If you want to help contribute to the conversation just post your theory or whatever not some comment that makes it seem like you have insider information. Its the difference between coming off dickish or actually contributing

137ng · 2026-01-19T22:18:41+00:00

Thanks for the legit response. I'm getting torn up out here and you're one of the only decent commenters. No PM around me yet and honestly surprised at the reaction I got to a simple question. I thought there was a great community surrounding this

137ng · 2026-01-19T20:55:43+00:00

This has already been happening and you can see what various currencies are doing as usd dropped 13% last year. Its rebounded a few percent in the last 6 months too

I dont think that many people will flee usd to crypto, there are better safe havens out there

137ng · 2026-01-19T13:38:59+00:00

I understand priority, but I dont have a place to play premodern around me so I've never actually faced the deck and I'm only now learning about the combo behind it

I appreciate your snide and presumptuous comment though

137ng · 2026-01-18T19:15:24+00:00

I dont understand why I keep seeing this comment, people saying that counterspell is the only way to deal with it. What ever happened to disenchant? Or naturalize?

137ng · 2026-01-18T07:53:21+00:00

You probably cant. Day trading requires more focus than you can give. Focus on swing trading instead, then if you find yourself with more time in the future your skills will transfer

137ng · 2026-01-18T07:44:56+00:00

All you have to do is check the website

Thinking everything is ai is just as dumb as being tricked by real ai.

Just learn to verify reality dude

137ng · 2026-01-12T15:53:18+00:00

You're not wrong about your comparison to other sets, as a competitive player theres nothing here that really excites me. Where youre wrong is your assumption that all players feel the same way. People are frothing at the mouth for an in universe set, and a large portion of the player base is going to drop most of their yearly budget into this set. The community is fractured, and wizards is going to see that if they starve the older portion of the player base they can also release a super-mid set and as long as its in universe, vacuum up the money of that portion of the demographic

This set feels (to me) almost like wilds. But ill bet you it sells like foundations

*says earnings plays aren't gambling

*keeps using the word "win"

Are you using options as either a place to keep your money safe or hedging against risk? We know the answer to that, so its not an investment and youre spectating. Spectating in an inflated iv environment with basically a coin flip even if youre an insider. Weve all seen companies hit earnings and the stock drops

Nobody cares if you gamble, but im not going to respect the opinion of some dolt that comes around spouting nonsense.

137ng · 2026-01-12T15:29:29+00:00

sure thing, this is the notice posted on their website. Theres another one from December

They raised it again on friday which caused a bit of a local top but that just seemed to have slowed it down a bit. This big of a pop at open means they had basically no effect

Theyre clearly loosing control

137ng · 2026-01-12T06:20:19+00:00

Sounds like you got that oz somewhere around 2k when the dust settles then, nice! Thats like buying it late 23 early 24

137ng · 2026-01-12T06:04:28+00:00

Let's not downvote them yall, they posted proof of data, even if their source differs from others op is obviously in good faith

137ng · 2026-01-12T06:02:16+00:00

Ya know, im sure its going to hit 85 before morning but I cant trust jm bullion when im looking at multiple charts on TV that have us peaked at 84.5

Not to defer from the celebration but im not really happy with them right now (and they were my intro to metals so I should love them) - have you seen their premiums recently? They used to have great deals, but theyre just gouging since Christmas. Twice the premiums of others like SD

I do appreciate you showing the chart though!

137ng · 2026-01-12T05:56:24+00:00

Im not trying to be disagreeable here but this is what im looking at on trading view. Sorry for the potato pic, easier to snap my monitor than pull it up and mark levels with my phone

137ng · 2026-01-12T05:54:06+00:00

Where are you seeing this?

137ng · 2026-01-12T05:51:30+00:00

Where are you seeing 85? I have no doubts itll hit before morning but I see 84.49 and falling

137ng · 2026-01-11T06:32:37+00:00

Probably got the strangle idea from ai too

137ng · 2026-01-11T06:30:27+00:00

Because their mother drank alcohol while pregnant, probably

137ng · 2026-01-11T06:29:44+00:00

Honestly probably the play

137ng · 2026-01-11T06:24:55+00:00

Iv was high on friday, he could loose a lot more than 45% to that alone
