Well, no. Stifle targets the triggered ability, not the creature.
The idea has some potential if you're playing Stifle anyway. If Stifle isn't useful by itself, not so much.

Maybe, but you can never be too careful with such a strong combo; the Split Second is so crucial. Wipe Away would also he helpful.
It's just a metagame sea change we're all going to have to cope with over the coming years. As for me, I'm splashing green for 4 maindeck Krosan Grips.
kicks_422, I like your list, but I always feel naked without maindeck Echoing Truth. What's your sideboard look like?
Of course they do. You can't pretend that all Merfolk games are over after five turns, or that games that go longer are lost. Late-game considerations for a fast deck do need to be opportunistic,...
I don't run Spellstutter Sprite, but I do run Jitte; and Coralhelm Commander gets along just swell with Jitte. Others have mentioned this, but I don't see where the conflict is. Is it the crushing...
I've found him promising so far. However: if you level him up when you could otherwise do something else (e.g., drop another creature), then you will tempo yourself right out of the game. The key...
"Brainstorm with Fetches" is associated with control-style decks that need to dig for silver bullets. Merfolk is relatively homogeneous, so Brainstorm doesn't add tons of value.
With Chalice at 1 they're clearly not going to be casting Stifle on the Chalice trigger. :smile:
If Reanimator resolves Show and Tell, or Exhume, or Reanimate, Merfolk is just dead if Reanimator...
Empyrial Archangel and Inkwell Leviathan are immune, and Iona is somewhat resistant (Vial notwithstanding). Also, it's not unlikely that your opponent will have seen your hand, so he won't stumble...
At this point, I'm not going to strongly advocate for Coralhelm Commander in the Adept's place, but I don't see Silvergill Adept as particularly sacred.
I appreciate that she draws a card, and I...
I'll be trying Coralhelm Commander in my list in place of Silvergill Adept. I like the natural resistance to Engineered Explosives, so I'd like to maintain the current curve, but I always thought...
