Trying to make a first vintage deck

[JPoJohnson]

I would absolutely love to have a Vintage deck at some point that I could play if/when the opportunity arises. I currently don't have any power, but wanted to know if anyone knew of something that I could do with the following decks being available to me:

Legacy:
UWr Miracles
TES
Merfolk
UWr Midrange
Dredge


All decks are optimal builds. I know that Dredge would be ok, and can eventually just get the 4 Bazaars to make that optimal and I know Merfolk can be competitive especially with the Null Rod strat (obviously ideal with a Mox/Lotus/Walk/Recall). Are there any other options that I could go for in regards to unpowered competitive decks? I've been looking around and I've seen hatebear strategies, but they haven't appealed to me in a big way yet. Thanks guys! (:


Edit:
So, unpowered decklists I'm looking at right now are:
U/R Pyromancer Delver
Merfolk


Just not sure if there are any other options. Especially since Storm is neutered without Moxen and LED being restricted.

Welcome to Vintage! I would definitely recommend Merfolk (or URG Landstill if you had access to 2 Tropical and 4 Mana Drain from a buddy). Joel Lim's 2013 Vintage Champs (http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/eventcoverage/eternal13/welcome#6a) deck is a good place to start. I'd probably recommend something like this to begin testing with:
Merfolk
Business (39)
4 Force of Will
3 Daze
3 Mental Misstep
1 Steel Sabotage
3 Null Rod
4 Cursecatcher
4 Lord of Atlantis
4 Master of the Pearl Trident
3 Merrow Reejerey
2 Phantasmal Image
4 Silvergill Adept
3 True-Name Nemesis
1 Waterfront Bouncer

Mana Sources (21)
4 Cavern of Souls
9 Island
1 Strip Mine
4 Wasteland
3 Mutavault

Sideboard (15)
3 Dismember
1 Ghost Quarter
4 Grafdigger's Cage
2 Relic of Progenitus
1 Pithing Needle
2 Hurkyl's Recall
2 Steel Sabotage

Good luck.
