I have not updated this deck in a while, but it is one of my decks that I enjoy playing the most so I have decided to try to do some work on it. I feel like it needs a little more resilience. While I can usually manage enough blockers to hold off against more simple creature decks, I have difficulties dealing with some more complicated decks, for this reason I assume that I need more counterspells/removal
I am not happy with Broken Ambitions. I can never afford enough mana to make it a viable threat and the clash/mill effect is almost useless. I would like to replace this card, but I do not know if I would be better off going with a Cancel / Render Silent or if I could get by with just a Negate. I also love the idea of a Pact of Negation however I wonder how often I will need a counterspell before I have 5 mana available.
If I chose not to go with a counterspell, I feel like Broken Ambitions would best be replaced by Oblivion Ring / Detention Sphere
I feel that Merrow Witsniper does very little for the deck besides provide a 1 drop Merfolk, so I will be changing them out with Mothdust Changeling which better synergises with the tap effects needed in this deck.
I similarly feel that Ink Dissolver could be replaced by something else. While he does provide a decent amount of milling, I also feel that he is restricted by only triggering once per turn, and therefor I might be able to find a more useful card to replace him. I am currently considering 2x Fallowsage and possibly 2x Lullmage Mentor or Sygg, River Guide. I would like to squeese in a few Archive Traps but I am not sure if they are worth it or not.
