Hey guys, Ive ben tooling around with a merfolk deck lately, and for various reasons wanted to try the archetype with the inclusion of Winter Orb. It has great synergy with Aether Vial and rally lets me play a lot with tempo (which my drives my playgroup crazy i might add).

Anyhow, here is my preliminary decklist. I plan on dropping the unsummon's for FoW's when I can afford them, but other than that what tweaks would you guys make?




// Lands
20 [M10] Island (4)

// Creatures
4 [SHM] Cursecatcher
4 [7E] Lord of Atlantis
4 [SH] Tidal Warrior
3 [MM] Waterfront Bouncer
4 [ROE] Coralhelm Commander

// Spells
3 [DS] AEther Vial
4 [M11] Unsummon
3 [4E] Winter Orb
4 [NE] Daze
3 [TE] Propaganda
4 [OD] Standstill


I should also mention that since my playgroup doesn't play a large amount of nonbasics, I was going to include Back to Basics in the sideboard, rather than the maindeck..
