For an even of the past week end, my friend and I decided to build a mono U merfolk, inspirated by Saito's list.

4 Cursecatcher
4 Silvergill Adept
4 Lord of Atlantis
4 Coralhelm Commander
4...

Oh, I was seriously wondering why you'd play 2 wasteland in Mono U merfolk, it's sooo good. In mono U, I've found that you often need Echoing truth for the win over humility, Moat, multiple creatures...

I've not had any problem of manabase in my last 2 tournament with it. Sure, I mulliganed 2-3 times in 6rounds because I had no color sources. Also, vial get the job done for being wasted of your...

Our creatures can get as big as everyone else ?
Tarmogoyf ?
Knight of the reliquary ?
Terravore ?
Dreadnought ?(even thought it's not that played anymore)
Even Rhox war Monk.
Wild Nacatl

I don't splash Sejiri anymore. After testing, it doesn't do enough in bad match ups, hence why I play 2 jitte over them at the moment.

This is my list by the way, and I run a sovereign over the...

Personally, I really like spell pierce in merfolk's sideboard, it's really good agaisnt Combo, CB Top, Enchantress (early in game) and Control.

Has anyone ever tried the white splash ? The swords...

I've tested Sejiri, while it's not THAT good in a lot of situation, it's pretty nice versus goblins, merfolk and kitchen finks. I've only played it because of my metagames contains a lot of merfolks....

Cutting Adept is a REALLY bad idea.
He is probally the best merfolk, or close second to Lord of atlantis. It creates good card advantage and you really need it. if you want to run commander, either...

You play him and then you get the priority.
He starts at level 0, than you try to level him (it's a sorcery speed) and can bolt in response.



I don't think this new merfolk will be really...

Sejiri merfolk is good versus zoo if you are able to vial in a lord, or to attack for 3. The first strike is relevant if you have a wasteland or a lord and the much life is good enough to buy 1 turn....

Jitte is the thing you need versus zoo or chain standstill. If you don't have it, you loose, if you do, you might win.
Siding out FOW is not a good idea IMO. Forcing their early drop is crucial, I...

Back to basics do not hurts us so much comparing to the damage that it will do to a deck like lands and landstill. You don't really side it versus any other deck.
Spell pierce main is pretty weird,...

How many Swords do you run main deck ?
I would probally run a playset of swords before entering a single path.
Spell pierce is good if you expect combos, enchantress and landstill. Otherwise, you...

Siding out daze vs dredge or combo is definitly a bad idea, but I didn't play versus them. I don,t know why you said that...

Daze has a mental effect that you need to know, if they saw it one...

Honestly, in this tournament for my team mate and I, it was not that impressive.
He always got burned when he relevant or it was overkill today.

Although, in intensive playtest, it was REALLY...

I just bought UW Merfolk to a local tournament and I posted my report on the report section.

Just wrote this in case anyone is interested in reading it ;)

I've a question for you. I've read the last pages of the topic and see no discussion about the white splash. I know it was talked about some times ago.

Is the splash worth it for Absolute law and...

I was wondering, do you guys have trouble agaisnt ichorid or do you think it's a good match up for you ?
I would really be interested in the merfolk player point of view on that match up.
Thanks.

Well, jitte can be equiped on turn 3. MErfolk are pack a lot of counters, so most of the time, by turn 3, I won't have a lot in graveyard except if I had a really good hand or if they had a bad hand....

I can tell you that I'm an ichorid player, and I do not find this match up easy at all.
Out of combos and prison deck, it's the deck that I do not want to face. I'd say it's like 55-45 for merfolk....

Hello, I've been wondering. Have you guys considered the green splash versus the white one ? You guys could have nice addition to wall tarmo (tarmo), and an answer to Dreadnought with Kgrip.
