Merfolk tribal/Aggro for the new standard. Synergy with this deck has been excellent so far. I've only tested against the current Standard meta of Temur Energy. I'm not too sure about my sideboard and I'm not too sure this will hold up great against U/W Approach or any control decks, God-Pharaoh's gift decks and anything with Flying. Needs help.

Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca vs Nissa, Steward of Elements, I feel that Nissa, Steward of Elements is slightly better in this deck as it really gives this deck a much needed board advantage earlier than what Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca can bring.

Appreciate the help guys, thanks.

Changes:

Sideboarded 2x Deeproot Waters, 1x Admiral's Order and 1x Chart A Course

Placed 2x Silvergill Adept and 2x Kopala, Warden of Waves

Felt that I needed more bodies in this deck. Did not really want to sacrifice Deeproot Waters, but it's just way too slow for this low curve deck. Silvergill Adept gives good card advantage and Kopala, Warden of Waves just saves my Merfolks and diverts the opponent's attention to it for removal.
