So I saw Lullmage Mentor as part of the 99 of an EDh deck on here and it made me want to explore my inner Johnny in order to build a modern deck around it.

Basically the goal of the deck is, while also being Merfolk tribal, also being a control deck that just locks you out while also going wide with tokens. Once you get out an Intruder Alarm, a Lullmage Mentor, and seven Merfolk (remember, they don't have to be creatures, which is why we also mainboard Merrow Commerce) you can essentially just lock out your opponents even if you have no cards in hand.

Suggestions appreciated!
