I managed to make a Merfolk Combo deck much like the Elf Combo Deck, except that it used this + permanent untappers and fallowsages to play my deck out consistently by turn 5, then win with a) infinite merfolk tokens, b)decking the opponent, or c) brainfreeze.

Just ANOTHER under-rated card from FE...
I played this when it first came out, kicked ass with it, and was still told it was 'too situational'. Now look at y'all. good for ya.
Put the pipe down, and cast more than one in a turn. See how why it poops on on Dark Ritual now?

you mean watch in horror (for half an hour) as I force you to draw 60 cards on turn 2?

People are saying this card is not as good as Dark Ritual, well, how does a Turn 2 infinite Brain Freeze sound?
Turn 1: Island *Insert cantrip here*
Turn 2: Island, High Tide, Cloud of Faeries, Cloud of Faeries, Ghostly Flicker, Archaeomancer, Ghostly Flicker *Goes Infinite* Brain Freeze

"with 1 island in play, high tide gets you 0 mana. with 2 islands, 2 mana. with 3 islands, 4 mana, with 4 islands, 6 mana."
gasimakos: actuall high tide give you mana equal to the number of islands you control (other than the one used to cast). you are correct about the mana you have, but the mana it gives is less than that. half of that.
blurrymadness: many cards are good because you build decks around them, but there are no decks built around black lotus, or actually any of the power 9- they are so powerful because they are used in so many decks, because they are so versatile and you don't need the deck to be around them.
oh, and infinite combos are really not the thing cards should be measured by. there are many bad cards that can be used for infinite combos. heck, obelisk of undoing can be a part of some combos... does it make it good?
in most cases, this will give you more mana than dark rit... (see all)
