    Re: [Deck] Merfolk

    also I highly recommend reading Philipp Schönegger's last article (on mtgmintcard) about the Legacy metagame you can expect at GP Lille.
    He also gives a nice overview of how top tier decks work and...

    I forgot to mention it but chalice is pretty good at slowing down elves.
    Best of luck at your tournament!

    The sideboard has to be specifically tuned to your meta of course, but I'll go over what I usually face at tournaments:

    Re: [Deck] Merfolk

    I guess a better answer would be that at first I mistook his deck for a BUG delver list and made a series of suboptimal plays and overextended a bit into deed. On the second game he clearly...

    Re: [Deck] Merfolk

    Yeah I edited when I saw the turn 3 standstill. I guess you do improve your matchup against combo but you lessen your ability to snowball with more dudes which is important vs. the rest of the field....

    Re: [Deck] Merfolk

    Your scenario seems to be 7 vs 5+a card but in fact it is (let's say we mull appropriately post board vs. combo and we hold force in hand in both cases), and this is only trying to find the best...

    Re: [Deck] Merfolk

    My point was that lords are only good in multiples against combo and therefore since it does not happen very frequently if you only play 8, they are not much better than silvergills...

    Re: [Deck] Merfolk

    The probability of drawing 2 lords in a game if you only play 8 is about 35% by turn 4 (I guess you do see more cards with brainstorm but you won't go much higher than 45%). And that is almost the...

    The utter disappointment (depression is something else) was for standstill in my meta not t1 delver hence the misquote.

    You can find my list in my previous post. I run a classical build indeed but...

    Re: [Deck] Merfolk

    When did I ever hint at anything depressing in a t1 delver (that occurs about 40% of the time based on statistics)? I said that it is a faster start than us and that is it. I said that IN MY...

    Yeah I edited cause I did not remember this play I learnt recently properly. You are right that you do not need the cavern but if they counter your swan song then you get nothing and wasted 3 cards...

    Re: [Deck] Merfolk

    1. You counter one of your uncounterable spell via cavern (let's say a lord) with daze, then target the daze with Swan Song. It is a valid target and even though the lord still resolves you get the...
