Mulldrifter could be worth considering if you've already got ephemerates. Some other considerations could be Moon-Circuit Hacker, Spirited Companion, Spreading Seas, Omen of the Sea, Omen of the Sun, Hopeful Vigil, or Etali's Favor.

Thanks Balaam__, I have a Spreading Seas that I was thinking to pop in so that's great. Do you have any suggestions on what to cut?

Merfolk is a great starting point to build out, as it’s been well established for years (decades) and is relatively straightforward and pretty cheap, all things considered.

Without knowing exactly what cards are at your disposal, I can only give general suggestions. The easiest path to improvement here is to go the Lords path. Merfolk play well together, and a handful of Lords like Lord of Atlantis and Master of the Pearl Trident can create a powerful army for you. Aside from that, Islandwalk is a merfolk’s best friend. Toss a Spreading Seas in the mix to make sure, and you have a decent deck. On the positive side, I see a few cards here already that would fit that profile—Streambed Aquitects, Merrow Reejerey, Stonybrook Banneret etc

Well at least blue also has a history with changing land types too with things like Convincing Mirage/Spreading Seas and Tideshaper Mystic.

White got a land hate card this set... a 2/2 creature that has an etb of destroying a non basic land and replacing it with a basic... very underwhelming and definitely deserved/could be better

As I see it, the islandwalk is just a little added bonus, if you decide not to include Spreading Seas or Reef Shaman or anything, giving you an extra push against {U}. Vodalian Hexcatcher is probably still the better choice, though. I wasn't sure if there were any special budget constraints.

As a mainboard card Spreading Seas is definitely more in the Merfolk decks than anywhere (probably more for islandwalk than anything) else however it actually does get used in some random mono-blue and UW Control lists in the main for a resource denying cantrip...As a sideboard tech though the card is used quite a bit in a lot of different lists from Shadow or other 4/5c aggro to One Ring esper/dimir.

I don't think that keeping your opponent off lands via the auras is a viable strategy. Blood Moon, as others have said, is global. I haven't kept up with modern in a while, but I thought that Spreading Seas was run in Merfolk and nowhere else. Merfolk uses it for unblockable creatures. The possibility of a tempo play is just gravy.
