This is what I bring in vs D&T. I actually like the matchup, from the merfolk side.
+1 Carry Away
+2 Dismember
+1 Pithing Needle
+1 Cursed Totem
+1 Misdirection

That's a good point, thanks! I was also thinking he'd be amazing vs a D&T player with a Spirit of the Labyrinth in play. ;-)
With D&T winning SCGCIN yesterday (2 in top 16 & also 2 in BoM top 8...
My one thing I like most from your posts is the interaction of Cavern/Daze, turning the latter into a Force Spike//Lotus Petal split card, like you said. As someone who's considered GHOST QUARTER as...
I went 0-2 drop in a 50-man tourney today. Played one of the 3 elves players round 1 which stinks. I don't think if I played that matchup 100 games I'd win even 5 games. I'm still fine just...
I really think there's only three flex slots in this deck since TNN came out; slots I've filled with Jitte, 1-2 Spell Pierce, a 13th Island, and now Dismember and 2 Standstill. I really liked Jitte...
I did end up cutting the maindeck jitte and the 13th island for 2 standstill, and the maindeck spell pierce for a dismember. here's the list I'm taking to a tourney tomorrow:

I like to block fliers with instant clones. And while we're throwing out cute cards like Jeweled Amulet... I came across Peer Pressure the other day. Seems like you could take an opposing TNN or...
I like your Maverick sideboard plan. I hate Cursecatcher in that matchup and have also been siding them out. I probably cut a couple Daze on the play too since I'm siding out CC, Wasteland isn't...
4 maybe? I did consider a couple copies in the side for GPDC when the format had much more D&T. But D&T is showing up less and less. And vs Jund or Maverick I'd rather have as many Submerges as...
Windmill - I don't want 3 and 4 ofs in my side. I like being able to attack various strategies from different angles with cards that are relevant for several matchups. 2 cages is too many when it's...
I played Saturday in a 40+ player tourney with a couple changes from my GPDC list: Swapped Pithing Needle for Cursed Totem in the side (which I've mentioned) and also swapped the Gilded Drake in my...
Grafdigger's Cage is not our great savior vs elves. They will still have have lots of dorks clogging the ground, including symbiote shenanigans to stop any big merfolk. Your sideboard slots need to...
I definitely bring in the CT vs UWR Delver. My buddy and I bailed on the 40-duals tourney in PA (2.5 hours away) due to the icy weather. There are two local tourneys this weekend though that should...
Owen Turtenwald got Batterskull with SFM every time he got to search when I played him in round 11 (both 9-1).
Playing 2x Cursed Totem as Pithing Needles 5 & 6 is BEYOND EXCESSIVE! I ran one Pithing Needle in my board at GPDC and the ONLY change I've made to the deck since is swapping that lone Pithing...
I don't understand all the anti-Daze talk. Cursecatcher/Wasteland/Daze is such an important part of the deck and I can't see shaving any of those in an unknown metagame. Cursecatcher + Wasteland...
Day 1 I beat, in order: Reanimator (2-0), D&T (2-1), Miracles (2-0), Reid Duke Bant (2-0), Junk Aggro-Loam (2-0), UWR Delver (2-0), ANT (2-0) - and lost to 12-post/MUD (0-2)... was 10th place going...
I started 8-0 (1 bye) in DC with this list. Day two I got my second loss round 11 from Owen then ended the tournament vs Elves each of the last two rounds to finish out of the money.

I'm running 3x Image and am testing 1x Waterfront Bouncer in the 24th creature slot, though may also try out a Master of Waves or Thassa in the slot if Bouncer sucks.
