Terror Tide
Oracle Text
Fathomless descent — All creatures get -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the number of permanent cards in your graveyard.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Terror Tide is a clean, terrifying sweep for black control and grindy midrange decks, turning your graveyard into a weapon as the board sinks under an increasingly deadly current. At four mana, it rewards patient play: the more permanent cards you naturally trade, cycle, sacrifice, or mill into the yard, the larger the -X/-X payoff becomes. In practice, this means it’s strongest once you’ve already spent creatures, treasures, or artifacts to stabilize, then use the spell to erase opposing token armies or survive against creatures with indestructible shields that still care about toughness. It pairs especially well with self-mill and sacrifice shells, where cards that put permanents into the graveyard quickly fuel a bigger tide. Deckbuilding tip: prioritize cheap permanents that replace themselves or are happy to die, since every land discarded, artifact sacrificed, or creature traded increments the sweep. The card’s feel matches Ixalan’s abyssal menace: the deeper you’ve descended, the more total the drowning.
