Creature — Merfolk Wizard

Whenever Stonybrook Schoolmaster becomes tapped, you may put a 1/1 blue Merfolk Wizard creature token into play.

I like merfolks. But i prefer when they are combined with the white part of their family. I suggest Judge of Currents and Stonybrook Schoolmaster . To tap your creatures, use Mothdust Changeling .

If you don't want to add the white cards. At least consider adding Rootwater Hunter and Distant Melody .

So I’ve been wanting to make a casual edh deck and with the ban of Paradox Engine I decided to take apart my Feather deck since I wasn’t having too much fun with it.

Anyways the lands, mana rocks, etc are being moved to make a Depala, Pilot Exemplar deck since I have a few good vehicles already.

What I was wondering is if there are any good creatures to put into the deck besides the dwarves from Kaladesh. Ones with being tapped/untapped like Stonybrook Schoolmaster would be kinda good to use I imagine.

I'm loving this build! But I need help cutting about 17 non lands.

My deck's strategy is to tap and untap my commander, Emmara, Soul of the Accord as often as possible to drop 1/1 white soldier creature tokens with lifelink. I also run Stonybrook Schoolmaster , who operates similarly.

To this end, Paradise Mantle and Springleaf Drum tap my commander. Selesnya Evangel does the same, AND drops another token. Maze of Ith and Quest for Renewal help me untap. Nature's Chosen does both!

I finish the game with Craterhoof Behemoth or comboing Presence of Gond + Sunstrike Legionnaire to create infinite 1/1 white soldier creature tokens with lifelink.

My deck list, Emmara, Gathering Army, has a longer description.

Please comment with suggested cuts, although I will also gladly hear suggested additions, strategic observations, or opinions. Thanks!

Never mind, it's not really Stax with Stonybrook Schoolmaster and Shared Discovery . But again, is it enough of an archetype to get a hub? I'm willing to be convinced, I'm not just trying to shoot you down. But right now, I'm not sure "tap synergy" is a full archetype or established strategy. Sounds like a fun deck, though.

I was trying to find the right hubs to put on a pauper deck with Shared Discovery and Stonybrook Schoolmaster , when I realised there was no hub for any tapping synergy decks, like Opposition and/or Tradewind Rider decks, or for Convoke decks for that matter.

You can add some untap shenanigans: Puppet Strings , Sword of the Paruns (can pump your team for a lethal or just set more Soldier on the field), Nature's Chosen and Quest for Renewal , those cards are budget but you can run some more $$ card like Staff of Domination

For the ramp part, Harrow isn't the best pick cuz you don't care about your Graveyard or putting land in it, but it's an instant, if you have it run it, if not, stay with a kodama's Reach or the best one in this deck Harvest Season , also for ramping Cryptolith Rite & Song of Freyalise are a no-brainer (also 32land isn't a good number, run 36 to be more constant in your games)

Also, Stonybrook Schoolmaster , can't say no about running twice your commander

NP! Glad I was of help, I wish it was that easy as well but sadly it doesn't work that way as you can't use the mana for abilities even though they are for creatures :'(.

As I said if you wanted the Infinite mana you'de have to use the scourge or Griffin mentioned earlier and then one could start using Derevi for untaps and taps but it's so much stuff to work around it becomes redundant.

There are also possibilities with Stonybrook Schoolmaster and Intruder Alarm + Azami, Lady of Scrolls or Drowner of Secrets But then you would be looking at kinda a lower power Wizard build.

I would add Intruder Alarm and Opposition so it can combo off with Stonybrook Schoolmaster. Paradise Mantle is also a good option. I suggest Teferi's Protection to save your creatures from a boardwipe.
