First Commander deck I built. I want to try to see what can be changed and how this would work out.I think a decent potential combo in this deck is Mist-Cloaked Herald/Triton Shorestalker + Wake Thrasher + Door of Destinies + Master of the Pearl Trident. Try to get Wake Thrasher out as soon as possible and also try to get either Mist-Cloaked Herald or Triton Shorestalker out. Then play Door of Destinies, naming Merfolk, get a few charge counters on the Door of Destinies and get Master of the Pearl Trident out; after that, try to tap out and tap as many permanents as you can, as then the next turn when you untap, Wake Thrasher will get X +1/+1 counters until your turn ends. Then because of Master of the Pearl Trident, Wake Thrasher has Island Walk and by the time you can get the combo to go off, you may have either cast Aquitect's Will by this point and your opponent has an island or you managed to get a Merfolk card out that allows you to make a target Merfolk unblockable. As a result, you should be able to hit your opponent for a decent chunk of damage every turn constantly.An alternative is going wide and getting as many Merfolk out and hitting your opponent for potentially lethal because of the island walk and many of the cards I placed in the deck will give some of the Merfolk some additional +1/+1 counters either permanently or until end-of-turn.I placed Herald's Horn, Sensei's Divining Top and Vedalken Orrery in the Sideboard because I recognize that they may fit well in the deck but I haven't gotten around to either buying a copy of the cards named or I haven't got around to changing some cards. But Herald's Horn and Sensei's Divining Top are potential cards to put in so you can check what the top card is via Herald's Horn or manipulate the top of your deck with Sensei's Divining Top and ensure that you can get the pieces you need. The Vedelken Orrery is a potential card so you can get around the Damping Sphere's +1 mana per additional spell that player casts that turn.
