This print appears in the Vintage Masters set, released in 2014, and carries the card number 73. It features the distinctive foil treatment that collectors associate with premium reprints in this line of releases.

The foil finish on this #73 card provides a tactile and visual distinction from non-foil versions, appealing to those who value aesthetic presentation alongside gameplay utility. Owning a foil copy of High Tide represents a piece of Magic history that bridges the gap between casual collection and serious strategic application. The card remains a relevant piece of the game's legacy, often cited in discussions about the most impactful blue cards ever designed.
