TamponThief Thanks for the advice!

I picked up a few Merfolk Trickster and another Master of Waves. I also replaced the Dispels with Spell Pierce which I think will work out better.

My next goal is to get the vials.

I just made a Merfolk deck myself! Here a few suggestions depending on how much money you want to spend:

Lord of Atlantis pumps all your merfolk and gives them islandwalk, just like Master of the Pearl Trident.

Merrow Reejerey is another great lord that makes your guys bigger and allows you to tap and untap stuff. Merfolk Sovereign is more a budget lord that allows you to make something unblockable.

Silvergill Adept is a good two drop that draws a card when it comes in.

More Mutavaults would be good too, if that's in your budget. Unclaimed Territory seems like it might be worse than just having islands, since you only have blue spells and it will make it harder to cast your noncreature spells.

Hope that helps!

I just started playing Magic earlier this year too, and just play with friends. Feel free to check out my decks and tell me what you think.
