A must: Wayfarer's Bauble, Etchings of the Chosen, Baleful Strix, Coastal Piracy, Inspiring Leader.

Maybe? Solemn Simulacrum, Seal of Cleansing.

good but high mana cost: Gravitational Shift, Thalisse, Reverent Medium.

I would Remove

Winged Words cheap, not the first card to remove, but a bit weak in the long run

Hushbringer not so worth it

Shambling Suit and Shinechaser are not worth it

Eye Collector????

Bag of Holding too complicated

Workshop Elders too costly, 7 mana for a 4/4 each turn....> in this case just play Divine Visitation

Thanks for commenting on my deck! This is my first time posting one.

The spells may be a little inefficient, but I chose them mostly for how they work together. I use the Oculus, Unsummon, and Thought Collapse to hold back whatever I can, while I use the Kraken's Eye to try to keep my life total high enough that I don't promptly die if something has trample. (My little brother favors green creatures)

The Sage's Row Denizen and the Murmuring Mystic both have abilities to help the Merfolk Secretkeeper, netting me chump tokens and a bit more mill when it enters.

Fractured Sanity is an excellent idea! I don't believe I've seen that card. Maybe I'd replace it for the Startled Awake  ^Flip cards?

The creatures conundrum is interesting to me though. I don't play super competetively, but I use the creatures for the mill, both when they enter and when they die. I actually do have Ruin Crab, but the Merfolk Secretkeeper is critical to the deck in my opinion, with it's adventures and re-entering the field.

Profane Memento... I Love It!!! Why have I never seen this beautiful evil creation!!! I may need 20 of them. Well not twenty, but definitely replacing the Kraken's Eye.

It does not have much removal, which I have encountered as a problem before. I would like to keep it mono-blue though if possible. I've mostly just handled threats through Unsummon-ing massive attacking threats, and through Thought Collapse-ing any main combo starters I see. I would love suggestions though, especially blue ones.

You're probably correct with the mana curve though... I'm just unlucky about having lands when I need them, so in frustration, I probably put in to many... Cutting back some lands is a wise suggestion, thanks.

The three costs I actually haven't had a problem with. (Probably because of the extra lands) I could maybe pack a couple of Mind Sculpts if I had to, but for my two cost department I simply wait for a Murmuring Mystic before I cast Winged Words. Unless I feel I have to of course!

Winged Words for draw power?

I’d definitely run at least 2-3 copies of Winged Words.

DreadKhan it was a tossup between that or Faerie Miscreant. I opted for the creature since it can be buffed quite a bit, but that RoI might be outweighed by the immediate gains of Winged Words. Do you think the pure draw is a better choice?

Any reason you aren't using Winged Words to draw a few cards?

Seems like this could do well once it gets online.
I would cut Cancel for Counterspell and Burn Down the House for Anger of the Gods. Winged Words seems bad with only 4 creatures. Vapor Snag or something similar might work better here. Augur of Bolas is another favorite of mine.
