How about playing with a black splash for perish and virtue's ruin? Mono U builds really have a hard time beating Maverick in my experience.

I'm thinking that guy can replace Reejery. It'll keep your vials ticked at 2.
Seems like the meta is now ripe for the fishies to comeback!
It seems too vial dependent for me, but still looks like a decent plan. Update us with your testing results. I think the best way to combat maverick is to play some underground seas, 4 perishes and 4...
I think the rug tempo and stoneblade matchups are sort of 50/50. Maindecked Kiras and Spell Pierces are strong versus this matchup. The real problematic match up for merfolk, in my opinion, is...
I share the same sentiments with you. I'm still hoping they print something like Kira in a merfolk's body or a merfolk vendillion clique in the future.
I'm wondering, which matchups are the stoneblade package beneficial? Thanks!
Thanks, I will try that.
Talking about stifle, what is the correct number of stifles to play now? I'm considering putting 3 on the sb. Or is 4 a must due to merfolk's lack of card manipulation?
I'd say you need some MD Kiras against Zoo. It protects our dudes, and it has to be two for oned to be killed.
How has Back to Basics been performing?
Thanks shortbus. It's supposed to be for stoneforge decks and combo decks, particulary tide. The lack of misstep left us with only force of will as a hard counter. I was hoping clique could shore up...
As someone who has a third Kira on the board, I'll say keep it up. It's there for zoo and control decks who bring in more spot removal post board. But it all boils down to your local meta.
hahaha. I was just planning to test it. I might change it to another hydroblast or something else. I'm pretty scared of zoo again now that misstep is gone.
Since everybody is sharing their post mm merfolk builds, I'll post mine. Criticism is very welcome!
4 mutavault
4 wasteland
12 island
4 Aether Vial
4 Force of Will
4 Daze
2 Dismember
To those using Tower of the Magistrate, what do you guys usually remove during sideboarding? Do you guys remove lands or spells? I'm planning to add towers to my sideboard as well due to tricky...
against zoo I'd put in the Kiras, submerges and relics, probably the threads as well. I'm not sure on how hibernation affects them
How are the hibernations performing? I guess these were included for the Maverick matchup? I am also contemplating if I should run them. Anyway, do you guys have any tips in the pre-board game...
Make sure you test play against it. You gotta have a feel on how they establish their strategy and what cards you remove in sideboarding.
Besides dismember, you can also put in pithing needle or cursed totem. Stifle can also be used against them but I think few people run stifle in merfolk nowadays.
Hi guys,
any tips on the Maverick matchup? I need some input on how to play against them and what cards to bring in and out post board. thanks!
I've been using propaganda against affinity for quite a while now, it has never failed me. You must be wary of Tezzeret, agent of bolas though, since he can kill us in one swing once they amass a...
I've been using propaganda against mirror, goblins, dredge and affinity. It comes as a surprise especially against dredge and affinity. They usually expect different sideboard cards to come from...
For those having trouble against dredge, a combination of graveyard hate and propaganda have never failed me post board. They seldom have the mana to pay to attack, and so far in my area, dredge...
What is the ideal count of dismembers to board in against zoo, assuming you are also going to board in submerge? I use a 3/3 split in my sideboard. Using at least two dismembers (8 life) throughout...
