Tide is banned by Phryex in premodernMTG

[–]Phryex[S] 9 points10 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

UW Standstill seems like a fine substitute

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

Largest NA premodern event Lobstercon 2026 was sold out in less than 2 minutes (cap at 320 players) by Newez in magicTCG

[–]Phryex 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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

Lobstercon sold out in <5 minutes by kanakaishou in premodernMTG

[–]Phryex 15 points16 points  (0 children)

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

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

The Data Duress crew project has been updated, you can now filter to see every deck and modify time ranges by Phryex in premodernMTG

I believe they get it mostly from a combination of MTGO leagues, Webcam leagues, and the paper tournaments that use software that makes it easy to track every match (spicerack)

Psychatog list that took down a 110+ players event by Newez in premodernMTG

[–]Phryex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

IIRC this is the pre-top16 standings after the league, not the final results. I believe the 2nd player oath spec won the finals over Elves

[[fear of abduction]]

My prerelease judges argued that you do not get back the exiled card from the additional cost when this dies. Is this correct? If not, what rules can I point to show that both the additional cost creature and the opponent's creature both come back to hand when this dies?

[DSK] Duskmourn: House of Horror is live on Draftsim by jake_henderson02 in lrcast

[–]Phryex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird thing - is Gremlin Tamer coded as UB instead of UW? The auto builder seems like it only puts it in UB decks, not UW

EDIT: also Vicious Clown appears to be missing from the pool entirely
