TheoryCrafter on Namor’s merfolk

Have you considered Halimar Depths? That can help a bit with Card advantage.

Also, I think Aquitect's Will would be a better choice than Seas' Claim due to the potential card draw. If you choose to add Deeproot Waters, tribal spells would count towards DR's triggered ability. It will also feed into Merrow Reejerey. Speaking of Tribal, Merrow Commerce gives your merfolk pseudo-vigilance.

Hope this helps. Happy Hunting!

legendofa on Noob needs help with merfolk

Welcome to the club, Mr-Jolly!

What kind of budget do you want to work with? Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca works very well with cards that let you untap more frequently, like Merrow Commerce and Seedborn Muse. Including Colossal Whale and Sea-Dasher Octopus suggests a more aggressive deck that wants to attack regularly, so if you want to go in that direction, cards like Levitation, Coastal Piracy, and other ways to make your creatures unblockable and attacking more profitable might be useful.

Ultimately, how do you want to win? Are you looking for an aggressive attacking deck, a combo deck, a more defensive control deck, or some combination of those? Merfolk are pretty versatile and flexible, so Kumena has a lot of options available.

legendofa on Which non-partner commanders would you …

With permission, or even without, I'm going to take a cue from Last_Laugh and give a little background on my Bant Merfolk thought. Merfolk have a decent tapping/untapping theme, with effects like Lullmage Mentor, Merrow Commerce, and Stonybrook Schoolmaster. Good for {WU}, but it leaves out cards like Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca, Glare of Subdual, and Seedborn Muse that would push it to the next level. There aren't really any Bant commanders or partners that support this strategy, and the only Bant Merfolk commander is Tuvasa the Sunlit. I've been wanting to build this for a while, but I've never been satisfied with the available options. It doesn't help that Thrasios, Triton Hero is pretty much universally recognized as a combo commander.

Idoneity on Can Kumena tap Merrow Commerce?

Is Kumena able to tap Merrow Commerce with one of their activated abilities? I am unsure if it is an enchantment type or creature type.

Maybe an Esper Merfolk legend for all the White and Black merfolk from Lorwyn. I currently use Zur to search out Arcane Denial and tribal support enchantments, like Merrow Commerce and Etchings of the Chosen .

My Kumena deck is one of my favorite decks. Very different strategy (and colors), since it likes to go wide to abuse tap/untap effects, but isn't too control-y. But there are some cards that might be useful.

Salvager of Secrets works as both a Merfolk and a Wizard. Deeproot Waters is so good at rebuilding a board if I'm unable to protect it. It also really helps Lullmage Mentor go off, which could also be good with all the counterspells you got. Speaking of, something like Muddle the Mixture can work as another counter spell or a tutor for your many 2 drops.

If you have it or it's within your budget, Kindred Discovery can be a beast at drawing cards. The newer Reflections of Littjara can also really expand your board in really gross ways (making a token copy of Merrow Commerce feels so good in Kumena). If you can reliably get your merfolk tapped, Fallowsage is also very good, but that might just be me thinking of how much work he does with Kumena.

I think we talked about ditching Soul of the Harvest, a good replacement would be Jadelight Ranger. Some psuedo-draw or ramp with the relevant creature type.

Forerunner of the Heralds also seems sweet to get you any creature in the deck, plus it gets huge.

Also, I feel like Merrow Commerce is a must in this deck!

Cold-Eyed Selkie would be sweet in this deck and draw you a TON of cards.

Kiora's Follower Could be good too. Could untap a big Merfolk after you tap it for Kumena's abilty, or you could use it for politics, mana rock untapping, all sorts of cool interactions.

Surgespanner Would be pretty brutal with Kumena as well. You could tap it with Kumena, pay 1B and bounce a permanent.

You might try Quest for Renewal too, as it is everyone's upkeep you can activate your Commander again. Might be too fragile if there's a lot of enchantment removal in your meta though.

Tempest Caller is interesting too if you're going wide. Just 2BB and pretty much take someone out of the game.

Since your commander already has a card-draw engine built-in, some good options for card draw will be ones that take significant advantage of that. Seedborn Muse, Merrow Commerce (which incidentally can be tapped for Kumena's ability), Quest for Renewal, and Murkfiend Liege are the best effects that untap. There's also Intruder Alarm if you want to get a nice combo going. Might as well run Earthcraft at that point so you can play merfolk, untap merfolk, draw cards, untap lands, play more merfolk, and repeat.
