I thought you meant Bull Shit.. =P like "I don't believe you"
BS?? I would add fetches of course, around 6 possibly. Since Tidal Courier in theory should only give around ~2 Merfolks, Brainstorm is on par, If not better, and alot more flexible since I can get...
Thanks Mav-o, my only way to deal with resolved permanents was tapping with Reejerey, yeah =P So I had to hope for 1x or 2x FoW's pr game.
- The GBW guy played: Swords to Plowshares, Smother,...
Great to see this in Established =)
I've just come back from Grand Prix: Copenhagen, Legacy side event (63 players) playing 7 rounds of swiss then standings - no top8 due to time constraints.... I...
By the way, isn't about time this deck gets moved to Established? When decks like MUC, Vaka Pox and Mighty Quinn - who all see a minimal of play - are still in there, then Merfolks definately...
I don't think 1 card would make me splash for STP, since I don't see that many goblins decks around.. (atleast not in Denmark)
I must say I don't understand the white splash in Merfolks, but maybe that's just me.. Daze and FoW can adress all the creatures I need to deal with, and often I don't need to deal with their...
The thing about Courier is also that he's good vs Control, like Truffle Shuffle, Landstill w/ Deed etc. (which can be a tough matchup)
Courier lets you recover after a board sweeper, and puts...
Great to see so many pick up the deck! =D
It is really fun to play (if you like aggro decks), go go "minions" spread the Merfolk to all of Europe and the US.
Hmm.. Countertop can be problematic if you don't have an active Vial. But usually it's not since you play 8x 3cc spells (4x Wake Thrasher 4 Merrow Reejerey) and 4x 4cc spells (Tidal Courier) makes it...
Hey jazzykat, it was me you met =)
Depends.. on the aggro deck. If it's Goblins, then it's not a good matchup, but you have BEB/Chill post board.
- If it's non-red you should win anyways (I know this is pretty generalizing), but...
Yeah, I share your concern Illissius about the 1-drop - but I run 8x so the chance of getting one on turn 1 is "ok" (I can't remember the math, could someone PM it to me? or write it here)
But you...
I sent you a PM with it, good luck with the deck! It is really fun to play in my opinion.
I think I was wrong about Wake Thrasher. He is insane.. (remember everything is relative), just played some games on MWS, and even against Burn he shined...
So for everyone reading: Get 4x Wake...
I wrote a really long reply, but Internet Explorer decided to fuck me up.. so I lost all the text
In short: Vial = must include (in my opinion) dodge counters/counterbalance etc.
Tidal Courier...
But who plays Shadowmage Infiltrator in Legacy? (noone) because it isn't good enough.
Anyways, I'm definately going to test the Selkie and Wake Thrasher - but I'm not impressed by either...
But... without one it's ass.
1/1 for 3.. I'd rather play Shadowmage Infiltrator then, atleast he doesn't die to Mogg Fanatic.
I agree, now we just need another Merfolk "staple" from Eventide, to add to that list.
- And I still like my "Gobfolks" approach, I don't know if it's the best, but it's working for me.
I don't have room for Stifle in my version, and Vial @ 4 isnt too slow at all - (Goblins do it all the time), atleast it hasn't been a problem for me.
Actually I cut Banneret for Grimoire Thief, which I haven't regret. Here's my "wannabe goblins"-list I'm using atm.
I play 4 Stifle SB
I went T8 with Merfolk at a 23-people tournament last week btw (I'm still playing Tidal Courier) I'm hoping for some decent Merfolks in Eventide tho..
When is the title going to be fixed? =P (Morningtide, not Monrningtide)
I wish I could contribute more to this discussion, but I haven't played the deck alot after SHM.. but I went T8 in a 23...
I don't understand why you wouldn't run Stonybrook Banneret in that list? He's awesome...
