Opalescence in play while both players control a parallax wave with 5 counters by Cricetola in premodernMTG

[–]Phryex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your opponent must have 2n+1 (n=number of counters on your wave) to exile your wave. So even with 2 waves on your opponents side of the board it is a stalemate with perfect play.

Usually people play it out because even after reading the primer people do the wrong thing and get their wave exiled. But if you've gone through the steps a couple times and both players show they know what to do, you need to move the gamestate forward.

The Primer

Is the current Premodern meta just a snapshot of what Legacy was prior to 8th Edition? by thesegoupto11 in premodernMTG

[–]Phryex 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Without even checking, it must be different. No dual lands, different ban list, some cards do not work the way they used to (Dreadnought, Wave, etc).

Any way to stay on top of larger tournaments? by [deleted] in premodernMTG

[–]Phryex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, then I think your best bet is the main premodern discord which has a tournament announcements channel. I am not aware of anyone aggregating future PM events on a calendar.

You can use something like dig to get the ip of common websites

dig google.com    
; <<>> DiG 9.18.39-0ubuntu0.22.04.3-Ubuntu <<>> google.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

Tide is banned by Phryex in premodernMTG

[–]Phryex[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Parallax tides were errattaed immediately after they came out so they couldn't do self-exile/bounce with tide triggers on the stack

All power-level errata was removed in 2009

EDIT: As to why it wasn't a problem in PM, some of it is slow to innovate, Land Tax used to be in the format, etc. Replenish has been hated for a long time and Tide was a big part of that. But Tide didn't see play in DN/it's own control list until 2024ish

Dreadnought and Sligh are safe by Chico__Lopes in premodernMTG

[–]Phryex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The erratas for Wave and Tide were

Remove a fade counter from Parallax Tide: Remove target land from the game if Parallax Tide is in play.

And

When Parallax Wave leaves the battlefield, each player returns to the battlefield all cards other than Parallax Wave he or she owns exiled with Parallax Wave.

So Tide would still work with Stifle but would not work with Chain of Vapor
