Playing this deck at a local Modern event on August 11th.
Revamped my previous UW Merfolk deck (which went 4-3 at GP: Columbus with no byes).
Lightning Bolt gives removal and reach that blue doesn't have. Also, Combust , Blood Moon , and Smash to Smithereens are great sideboard cards in the Modern meta.
I always thought that card:Aquitect's Will topped Spreading Seas in a merfolk deck seeing as it cantrips and enables Merrow Reejerey 's ability. though you kinda lose the point of having something that changes a land into something else when it gets to keep what it once was.
I was thinking of changing my merfolk from UG to UR to fit in Fervor seeing as all my lords seemed to get burned to death by my brother's goblin deck before even making an impact...
Whats with the Misty Rainforest s? just deck-thinning? or showing off your budget? lol
mine uses Halimar Depths and Simic Growth Chamber so i can accommodate more spell slots
You don't need that many lands that actually produce mana, so having 5 fetch lands just makes getting out Steam Vents that much easier. Deck-thinning is negligible.
I agree completely with Spreading Seas being strictly better than card:Aquitect's Will. Land denial is much more important, and I'm not running Merrow Reejerey anyways.
I don't believe Fervor is the answer you're looking for. Try Kira, Great Glass-Spinner .
Why the shift from UW to UR? You lose path to exile and sygg. I really like blood moon in the sb, great idea
