Creatures

Lords to buff

• Lord of Atlantis
• Master of the Pearl Trident
• Coralhelm Commander
• Master of Waves (buffes elemantals and Mutavault)

Counter-creatures

• Cursecatcher
• Harbinger of the Tides
• Kira, Great Glass-Spinner
• Kopala, Warden of Waves
• Vendilion Clique (also know opponents hand)

others

• Phantasmal Image (copy Lord, animated Mutavault or opponents creatures)
• Silvergill Adept (draw)
• Wake Thrasher (fast dmg - always tap all still untapped lands end-of-turn of your opponent)

Spells and Artifact

• Spreading Seas (1. islandwalk, 2. stop opponents creature-lands, 3. land-destroy)
• Aether Vial (vs counter, more speed, flash tricks)
• Relic of Progenitus (everyone has stuff in their grave you dont wanna see again)
• Sorcerous Spyglass (Pithing Needle with Vendilion Clique-effect)
• Dismember (greater spotremoval than card:gutshot)

Land

half/half means best protection from Blood Moon, Choke, Boil

• Island (basic)
• Mutavault (merfolk, elemantals, spirit, faery)
• Cavern of Souls
• Oboro, Palace in the Clouds (colorfix with Mutavault, tricks with discarding)
• Minamo, School at Water's Edge (tricks with Kira, Kopala, Vendillion Clique)
• Wanderwine Hub (Bluff a Path to Exile)

Sideboard

• Ceremonious Rejection (Artefact-hate)
• Dispel (counter)
• Negate(counter)
• Reality Shift (creature-hate)
• Relic of Progenitus (grave-hate)
• Remand (counter)
• Sea's Claim (more and cheaper without drawSpreading Seas)
• Unified Will (counter)
• Unsummon (bounce, save own stuff)
• Vendilion Clique (counter)

As usual spamming Lords and other fish by tapping Aether Vial. Then merfolk buffing each other with +1/+1 + islandwalk (or other goods) and of course protect our number for even more merfolk. If the opponent wizard has no card:islands he gets one giftet. If the opponent wizard plays mean stuff, the counter or spotremoval.
