Bident of Thassa

I mean, legendary enchantment artifact, but my god.

Toss in all the cheap evasive creatures, cheap interaction, card draw, etc. It would be so much fun!

Nice deck. I play a very similar and very mean Kumena deck. I also went back and forth on +1/+1 counters and ultimately did settle on it as I felt that combat damage was the most appropriate win con for merfolk (in part because I also play Legacy Fish). I don’t think assembling and executing your infinite mana combo is more efficient than winning with unblockable +100/+100 merfolk or generating so much card draw that you win with Thassa's Oracle. Both of my options also synergize directly with your commander. +1/+1 counters are accelerated by Doubling Season and Hardened Scales. You can flash in Simic Ascendancy on the end step just before your turn, and with a little finesse, win. With Doubling Season, either Kiora Planeswalker is a nasty surprise as well. Massive card draw comes not only from Seafloor Oracle, but from Bident of Thassa, Coastal Piracy, and now Reconnaissance Mission. My version of this deck replaces your standard countermagic and removal suite with Force of Will, Force of Negation, Mana Drain, and Cyclonic Rift but you probably don’t need to be told that these cards are very good. Gaea's Cradle and Growing Rites of Itlimoc  ^Flip are insanely good in merfolk aggro. The only non-merfolk creatures I include (aside from Seahunter) Are Deadeye Navigator, Deepglow Skate, Collector Ouphe, and Vigor. I should say, my merfolk deck is known to beat the seaweed out of many competitive decks. I hope this helps.

Nice deck. +1 from me.

Maybe you want to try Teleportal. CMC5 is high but unblockable for the hole team and a prowess trigger is nice. With a token strategy I would suggest Coastal Piracy, Bident of Thassa and / or Reconnaissance Mission for card draw.

Hey, good budget version of Talrand, nice Consecrated Sphinx.

Budget cards to consider adding:

• Peregrine Drake and Displace
  

Peregrine + Displace + Archaeomancer/Mnemonic Wall makes infinite blue mana from blinking Peregrine and infinite casts of Displace which equals infinite 2/2 Drakes from Talrand. Displace is an instant meaning can do this combo on an opponents turn and then attack with infinite Drakes on your turn.

• High Tide: excellent ramp when playing so many Islands and cards that can recur it to cast it again. Can get more ramp out of Tide with Peregrine, Frantic Search, Snap as these cards let you untap Islands to make more mana.
  
• Bident of Thassa: more repeatable draw with 2/2 Drakes.
• Mystic Speculation: buyback.
• Capsize: buyback.
• Forbid: buyback.
• Brainstorm
• Impulse
• Serum Visions
• Reality Shift
• Reliquary Tower

---

Cards to consider cutting:

• Temple of the False God
• Spell Snuff
• Thought Collapse
• Of One Mind
• Dazzling Lights
• Stream of Thought
• String of Disappearances
• Unsummon
• Dictate of Kruphix
• Ethereal Forager
• Hieroglyphic Illumination
• Chemister's Insight
• Portal Mage

Good luck with your deck.

Hey, nice budget version of Brass.

Cards a $1 or less each to consider adding:

Lands

• Command Tower
• Exotic Orchard
• Unclaimed Territory
• Crumbling Necropolis
• Dimir Aqueduct
• Rakdos Carnarium
• Izzet Boilerworks
• Rogue's Passage
• Grixis Panorama

Pirates

• Spectral Sailor
• Changeling Outcast
• Warkite Marauder
• Kitesail Freebooter
• Departed Deckhand
• Ruin Raider

Repeatable Draw

• Bident of Thassa
• Reconnaissance Mission

Evasion

• Wonder
• Goblin War Drums

Command Tower is one of the best lands for multicolored decks in Commander and it's $1. Pirates have to do combat damage to a player to trigger Brass this makes Pirates who have flying/other evasion important because they can more easily attack and not be blocked thus do combat damage to a player. Wonder can give all your Pirates flying as long as it's in your graveyard and you control one Island. More Pirates with flying/other evasion makes Bident and Mission good repeatable draw since for each Pirate who does combat damage to a player you draw a card.

Cards to consider cutting:

• Walk the Plank
• Cancel
• Heartless Pillage
• Thaumatic Compass
• Vance's Blasting Cannons
• Dusk Legion Dreadnought
• Lightning-Rig Crew
• Storm Fleet Swashbuckler
• Headstrong Brute
• Rigging Runner
• Storm Fleet Aerialist

Good luck with your deck.
