Especially against Zoo and Zoo-like decks, Canonist + 4th Daze seems strictly worse, but if you know your meta well enough, you can make meta calls.
Phyrexian Revoker seems like an excellent SB addition to this deck, as Mom can protect it. Nice find. :)
Llawan is expensive in mana and narrow. Merfolk can play around it with AEther Vial. Although I guess it does provide an out against Progenitus, but you already have Hibernation against that. Depending on the meta, I might still rather play Wing Shards over both. Submerge is there for...what exactly? Wouldn't 2x Condemn or 1x Karakas accomplish kind of the same thing, with the additional benefit of bouncing Emrakul? Anyways, I would like to see 1x Relic of Progenitus on the board versus Tarmogoyfs and Terravores even if there are no gy-based strategies (Life from the Loam, Dredge, Welder-animator) in the meta.
