I know there's already a thread on Budget High Tide not too far down the page, but they don't appear to be running their deck the way I will hopefully be able to run mine... hence the separate topic. My main problem is that there are so many good cantrips and counters that it's hard to narrow the list down to 75 cards. I haven't yet finished the Sideboard either, and I know how important that part of the deck is because of Cunning Wish.
Any help would be appreciated. I want to make sure that I have enough counters to keep an opponent from stopping the combo before it happens or during. I also want enough cantrips to find everything I'm looking for. Dig Through Time seems like a good option, but with High Tide, every card is important. So, it becomes a very tough choice to decide which six cards to exile.
Again, any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
I remember an all instants build of this deck that ran Reset that wasn't too expensive (reset was the only expensive card). You need Turnabout in your wishboard though, as it gets a lot of mana and really helps in a pinch.
I started playing Solidarity which is much cheaper. Reset is $20 on SCG and that is the only expensive card that is a must run. Other expensive cards are FoW and fetches but the fetches are pretty cheap right now due to the reprint. You can buy the entire deck (without FoW and fetches) for about $120.
