THE GREEN MERFOLK AND THE ART FOR Harbinger of the Tides INSPIRED ME.
I ACTUALLY OWN THIS DECK NOW AND WILL BE PLAY TESTING IT A BUNCH IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
THE STRATEGY IS SIMPLE. IT'S A MERFOLK DECK. IT WANTS TO PUNCH YOU TO DEATH. ONE THING WORTHY OF NOTE REGARDING MY CREATURE SETUP HOWEVER, IS THAT I'M NOT ENTIRELY SOLD ON IT. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CARDS FOR THIS, I ALSO GRABBED THINGS LIKE 2 COPIES OF Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca, AND 4 COPIES OF Mist-Cloaked Herald. I LIKE KUMENA A LOT AND WOULDN'T MIND FITTING HIM IN HERE SOMEHOW BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW I'D DO IT. I SUPPOSE THE ONE THING THAT MAKES SENSE WOULD BE DITCHING Kopala, Warden of Waves IN ORDER TO STICK A LITTLE HARDER TO THE GREEN ASPECT OF THE DECK.
ON TOP OF THE HERALDS I ALSO HAVE THINGS LIKE Watertrap Weaver AND MORE Merrow ReejereyS. I NEED TO PLAY THE DECK A BIT AND FIGURE OUT IF I ENJOY THE GREEN ASPECTS, OR IF I WOULD BE BETTER OFF SWITCHING IT TO MONO BLUE OR AT LEAST JUST NUDGING IT'S IDENTITY A BIT MORE TOWARDS BLUE.
THERE'S AN OBVIOUS LACK OF COUNTER SPELLS OR JUST BASIC BLUE TRICKY DICKERY, AND I ALSO NEED TO THINK ABOUT THAT, BUT IT'S NOT WITHOUT IT'S HORSESHIT. VAPOR SNAG I LIKE HERE BECAUSE I CAN USE IT OFFENSIVELY OR DEFENSIVELY. THE IDEA OF BEING ABLE TO SAVE ANY OF MY CREATURES (IN PARTICULAR MY LORDS) FROM BURN OR REMOVAL FOR 1 MANA AND 1 LIFE IS APPEALING. DISMEMBER IS THE WEIRD PART THAT I LIKE A LOT. ILL GLADLY PAY ONE MANA AND 4 LIFE TO PULL OUT A SURPRISE -5/-5 TO SCREW UP SOMEONES BLOCKER OR ATTACKER.
INITIALLY I HAD 2 Deeproot Waters IN HERE, BUT I DIDN'T PICK THOSE UP WHEN I BUILT THE DECK CAUSE I'M DUMB AND FORGOT. BUT THAT'S FINE CAUSE I DON'T THINK THEY'RE NECESSARY ANYWAY. IN THEIR PLACE I'M CURRENTLY RUNNING THE 2 Merrow Commerce BUT MAYBE THOSE WILL COME OUT FOR SOMETHING ELSE.
I'LL GLADLY TAKE ANY SUGGESTIONS.
