Merrow Reejerey is the utility card that helps to fix stalemates. It can allow you to play around a giant beater, utility creature, or another, otherwise, problematic card. It forces the opponent to...

For utility, you can reconsider the cards that used to be played at one point in time.

Seasinger
Tidal Warrior
Waterfront Bouncer
Wake Thrasher
Merfolk Sovereign
Standstill
Maindeck Jitte

If you null rod against affinity, your vials and jittes will be their least concerns.

Have you tested Ceta Disciple? Merfolk has been dying for an additional one drop since we ousted tidal warrior. I'm curious to see how this card would fare in a blue red deck.

With the recent dominating results of Vengevine based decks, I 'd like to take this time to re-evaluate Permafrost Trap in this deck; a card that was, at first, seemingly dismissed by Merfolk as an...

Been having a lot of fun with Knighthoods sideboarded in the uw merfolk list recently. Since swords and paths remove from game, I think the best solution to UG madness is the white splash (see...

So if we're going to go to the trouble of splashing black in merfolk, I think Bob should be given some consideration in place of Silvergill Adept or Standstill. Yes we don't want to draw FoW, but...

In regards to evasion from self:
Licid takes 3 mana to cast, one to uncast, and then another 3 to cast again.
Bouncer takes 2 mana to cast, 1 to bounce itself, and 2 to cast again.

Both are...

I think Finn answered Seasinger better than I ever could. As you said about Licid, it's fairly mana intensive. Gilded Drake seems like a good card. Thanks, I'll test it now. Curfew has limited...

Waterfront Bouncer is anti show and tell tech, or rather anti Emrakul tech. Unsummon doesn't target this.

Waterfront bouncer is another anti aggro potential card sideboard.

Merfolk Assassin is fun if you think you'll be in a meta with many merfolk.

My biggest concern about the sorcery speed is that it makes it easier for the opponent to burn him before he can level beyond the burn range.

Why Hello anti zoo!

I feel Merfolk has always been tight on the mana curve. Insofar as to use seals, which allow for the preemptive casting of spells for deterrent. Having said this, I'm not really sure how much of an...

It's a rare, but this picture is a mockup. Coincidentially, the same picture Nightmare used to make his "joke" all merfolk gain shroud awhile back in this thread.

oh yeah, that's a good point. hmm... darn.

While tempo is initally lost, it allows your mutavault to be recurred after being targeted for removal. Likewise if an opponent's wasteland is activated on your turn, you can use it to save a...

Hey what do you guys think of Simic Growth Chamber for ug merfolk? It seems like it would be a good way to protect your lands from wasteland or mutavault. Also could be abused with merrow reejerey's...

I think the biggest question is, if you're in an metagame where standstill isn't going to be able to be utilized more often than not so that brainstorm would be more fitting, would decking merfolk be...

Ok to veer away from the reanimator discussion for the moment, is Lord of Atlantis in the mirror the closest thing Legacy has to a Prisoner's Dilemma?
I mean, if you play Lord of Atlantis, and your...

I dunno, the white splash will probably be seeing a lot of Inkwell leviathan, is this really much better than mono blue?

Perhaps it's time to start sideboarding some meddling mages.

I know i'm...

On what basis are you saying we have a good match up vs Reanimator?

I mean, granted the sample size is small in SCG 5k Richmond, but we didn't do so well.
" However, Merfolk is not without its...

And hey, it makes you feel a little better that you lost to the person who won the whole thing!
Congrats on your success man.
