This epic event defines much of what the faction seeks to achieve. High Tide enables the faction’s strategy early in the game and acts as a valuable movement trick for closing out games in the late stages.

In most cases, it is more impactful early on, allowing you to reposition your 10 life Gate into a more aggressive position and integrate it into the action. Often, the best way to transition into the faction’s push phase is through the use of High Tide, making it a near-automatic play unless the game has already become heavily clogged. Once it has fulfilled its role, High Tide can be safely discarded. However, holding onto a copy as a high-cost movement option can sometimes secure a decisive late-game victory.
