Not a bad thought aswell - As told - Im still working on it.... Another hint what i might be trying: Chrome Mox O.o
Does anyone have any problems using Coralhelm Commander. I feel that 90% of the time, he is a stupid bear. And when I do level him up, I pretty much have the game under wraps.
Ye im feeling like this kinda often aswell. BUT there is no Lord of Atlantis V 1.2. So I think we gotta stick with him :/
would you take him out for sovereigns. So far I took two out for two sovereigns. But I'm thinking about taking it all out for two sovereigns and phantasmals.Originally Posted by Philipp802
(assuming you're referring to LoA and not commander)
Sovereign is in the 3CC slot, LoA is the only lord that instantly applies his bonus at 2CC. He may be bad in the mirror, but it still smooths out the curve of the deck. Sovereign is nice because it is a lord, but I have generally found it is the worst lord of the bunch - which is why it is typically cut from most lists. It was run...but no longer.
no...referring to CC.
Played today @ local GPT Amsterdam (35 players). The meta had been dominated by Maverick/Rock past month(s). I had a feeling people would bring combo/control so Merfolk seemed good choice. I finished 3-3.
My list:
2 Sower of Temptation
1 Phyrexian Metamorph
1 Vendilion Clique
4 Merrow Reejay
4 Silvergil Adept
4 Coralhelm Commander
3 Cursecatcher
4 Lord of Atlantis
3 Daze
4 Mental Misstep
1 Dismember
4 Force of Will
4 Aether Vial
3 Mutavault
1 Tower of Magistrate
4 Wasteland
13 Island
SB
2 Spell Pierce
1 Pithing Needle
2 Submerge
2 Cursed Totem
2 Standstill
1 Phyrexian Metamorph
1 Tormod's Crypt
1 Faerie Macabre
3 Energy Flux
Match 1 Markku Heikkilä - NO RUG
G1 I win with timely Clique
G2 Despite my early Cursed Totem he takes control of the game
G3 I have the nuts
(2-1)
Match 2 Christian Tuuri - Elves combo
G1 I have option of vialing in Sower and taking his lord (surviving until next turn and winning by smashing 7 in the air or keeping it with the last card in my hand as force of will fodder. I decided I should take his lord, then he plays green pact for that green guy who draws cards equal to the number of green creatures you control, he combos soon after after drawing 7.
G2 I keep horrendous hand with Cursed Totem, I should have mulliganed.
(0-2)
Match 3 - UR Grindstone
G1 I mull to 5 and dont find an island, he beats me down with Painter's Servant and Goblin Welder
G2 He keeps one lander, I have 2 Wastelands
G3 He has Grindstone with Mental Misstep back up, then he intuitions, I daze. Then next turn he EOT intuitions again, I fow, he fows back, I spell pierce, he has just enough mana to pay
(1-2)
Match 4 - UW Standstill
G1 I Sower his Batterskull and smash in with fishes
G2 Awesome game, he barely wins with jitte'd mutavault
G3 I waste his white source and he cant find another, I also had quick beats
(2-1)
Match 5 - NO RUG
G1 Cant remember much, he almost stabilized but I think I Sowered his Goyf
G2 he has lots of hate and 2 goyfs
G3 He tries to go for fast jitte, I have Tower of Magistrate + Dismember. Luckily he didnt find Fire/ice and I beat him down with cursecatchers and adepts
Match 6 - BUG Deed with Visions
G1 I cant keep pressure after he gets fast Deed to stick, my hand was Sower + Phyrexian Metamorph. I also kept drawing missteps, fow, Reejerey etc always 1 turn late
G2 I mull to 6 and draw blanks. Misplaying adept didnt help, I could have just sit behind vial but I decided to hardcast it - he had Spell snare and answers to my last 2 creatures (didnt draw anything useful for rest of the game)
(0-2)
Total 3-3, Top 8 had 2 Merfolk (1 UB), 2 Hive Mind, Uw Standstill, BUG Control (to whom I lost), Elves combo (to whom I lost) and Team America.
I was the Ub player and the other one to get the byes (top2) was the other fish player in the top8.
Won elf combo, hive mind a few times, Uw and Uwr stoneblade decks, UBG visions-deed control and whatnot. Cannot actually remember. Went 4-0 into id-id. Deck was sweet. Actually considering it as a legit choice for GP.
Can you post your deck list? I am considering playing UB merfolk
Has anyone here actually lost to NO RUG? it seems like a pretty good matchup for merfolk. I've played both sides, and usually lose with NO RUG. If you've lost to it, how so?
Whats the strenght of UB? It cant just be Dismember can it?
Perish on side helps versus Maverick and Zoo (two VERY bad matchups).
The RUG NO matchups is loseable.
In testing Merfs lost sometimes when RUG NO sided out many counterspells and the combo for red blasts, Lavamancers and Jaces. But then the mu is still better for Merfs I reckon.
Perish and sometimes Engineered Plague

Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one
Nice list. What the tower of the Magistrate is for? I am new to this card.
It is a card used to fight Batterskull.
Perish and Thoughtseize.
if you go UB, why use Dismember. Just use GFTT
One mana vs. Two in a deck that taps out very frequently. Believe it or not, I play this deck.
Haha, I came in this thread only because I saw the last post was by Bryant Cook and I was like wtf does he have to say about the #1 anti-storm deck??? Funny stuff. I'll believe it when there's video on YouTube.
