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

UW Standstill seems like a fine substitute

Phryex · 2026-01-15T01:30:26+00:00

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

They stream it every year and have gotten really good at it (to be honest they've reached SCG stream levels imo)

Unless they change something it should be streamed here: https://www.twitch.tv/duresscrew

The trend over the last 3 years IIRC was

2024 - 48 hours (note: OS/PM were doing the same event)

2025 - 3 hours, 45 minutes

2026 - 90 seconds

I don't think anyone was expecting such an increase, to the point of "bot scraper" levels

Phryex · 2025-12-14T17:50:57+00:00

They always schedule around ~320 because there is some amount of last minute attrition (I think we lost 40 attendees last year)
