This has potential to be awesome.

Proliferate is one of many ways to put counters onto permanents, so I am not sure if I'd start at five mana when it could happen earlier.

@HayW00d0909:
Ummm...
tell me how that works???
I mean, Unliving Psychopath does NOT get a +1/-1 counter, or even A oounter on it. It gives it +1/-1 until end of turn. Either way if you were gonna give it a counter, it would make it permanent. Also, the other cards you have mentioned doesn't even combo with the Inexorable Tide.
So "Oh No" it doesn't work.

alright if you REALLY want to complain about 5 mana being slow I'll give you 2 scenarios in std to get this out turn 3
turn 1: island, amulet of vigor
turn 2: amulet of vigor, evolving wilds, sac for a forest making 2 mana, explore, evolving wilds sac for a forest, explore, forest
turn 3: Inexorable Tide
or simply turn 2: lotus cobra
turn 3: fetch land inexorable tide

This card has so much potential that it makes my head spin. Sure, five mana can be costly, but most colors have some kind of mana accel (G, B, and R off the top of my head) while every color uses one kind of counters or another be them -1/-1, +1/+1, charge, spore, time, etc. Not to mention with cards like Magosi, the Waterveil this card just screams "abuse me!"

O..M...G...
This looks like it will work wonders in my U/B Zombie deck. Unliving Psychopath, Death Baron, and Cemetery Reaper.
Oh yes.

Yes, 5 mana is slow... if you don't bother even trying to get some mana accel into your deck.
And for an effect like this, I'd be perfectly content to wait 5 turns to play it. And that's if, for whatever reason, I decided to not put any accel into my deck.

It's not that it cost to much or anything, it's that it wont fit in any decks right now. The decks it would currently go in would rather run some of the other proliferate stuff. I would only want this instead of the clasp or engiene if I was running a bunch of recastable cards or a bunch of draw effects. So maybe if an Instant or Sorcery came out that gave poison counters...
But casual, totally going in the graft deck with some Oona's Graces.
