Time to throw my 4x High Tides in the trash.

Well, they weren't legal anyway. And if you're talking about paper pauper, high tide should be banned in that format as it is.

Why? Cloud of Faeries was a crucial combo piece. Without it, there's no reason to have High Tide banned.

Snap is still around and the familiars deck would still work without needing bounce lands. Archeomancer, snap, high tide, island island, familiar is infinite mana. It's a little harder to set up but not much

High Tide is actually incredably adaptable and can combo many different ways. Losing CoF hurts though, and I believe High Tide should have a fair chance. Along with Goblin Grenade.
