We found so much use of Tishana’s Tidebinder<\/a> at Pro Tour Thunder Junction that we’re bringing you a few more rules and tips on its interactions! So, without further ado, here are a few more interesting Tidebinder rulings!<\/p>\n\n\n

Ward (again)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We mentioned Ward in the last article<\/a>, but we should also clarify, that an artifact, creature, or planeswalker whose Ward ability gets countered will lose all abilities. Ward won’t be there to trigger again if the trigger’s source survived the initial thing that caused Ward to trigger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dark Depths and State Triggers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although we mentioned Tidebinder and Dark Depths<\/a> in our last article we determined further explanation is required. Dark Depths isn’t a reflexive trigger at all, the whole “When Dark Depths has no ice counters on it, sacrifice it. If you do…” so even if you counter it with Tidebinder, it will just trigger again, since it still has no counters, and hasn’t been sacrificed. (It’s not an artifact, creature, or planeswalker)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tidebinder and Inti<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

During a Pro Tour feature match, a player wanted to Tidebinder Inti, Seneschal of the Sun<\/a>, but wasn’t sure which trigger they should target. Inti technically has 3 triggers, one on declaring to attack, one reflexive off the first trigger, and a trigger on discarding cards (in general, but will trigger from the first as well). The safest strategic play is to counter the first ability<\/strong>. If you care about the extremely minute details, read below or if you want to counter the 2nd or 3rd triggered abilities Inti generates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
