This is a take on an old Lorwyn-standard merfolk deck that I enjoyed playing. It's been slightly updated with a few newer cards that fit the theme, but I find it enjoyable to play in a casual setting or with people who are new to the game.

The main goal is to play a bunch of fish then mill out your opponent using Drowner of Secrets . If you have a few Judge of Currents in play, you'll gain 1-4 life for each fish you tap. Merrow Commerce then allows you to untap during your end phase and do it all again! The rest of the merfolk in the deck either help the milling strategy or benefit from tapping in some way. Silvergill Douser and Sygg, River Guide are the main forms of defense while you build your army. Grimoire Thief provides an excellent source of milling as well as being able to counter spells the opponent may play.

Hope you like the deck! Suggestions are welcome!
