Notes

Based on Kumena Tyrant of Orazca decklist from Commander's Quarters

Power cards ($5-10): Seedborn Muse, Lord of Atlantis, Intruder Alarm

Sleeper Cards: Murkfiend Liege, Dramatic Reversal, Thought Reflection, Vitalize, Colossification

---

Possible Edits

REPLACE weaker merfolk with two more removal, additional anthems

CONSIDER B Thassa, H Climb, H Horn, T Discovery, H Season, W Shaper, M Mimic

CHECK sea creatures deck for boardwipes

---

During Game

Play Kindred Summons on opponent’s end step to get around summoning sickness and use Kumena’s ability before your untap step

Novijen Heart of Progress can be used on an opponent's turn if it helps to forge a temporary alliance

---

Stats

32 merfolk (30 creatures + 2 non-creature token generators)

5 lands ETB tapped (14% of total)

2 colorless non-fetch lands (6% of total)

---

Deck Notes

Some of the protection spells can also be used as removal (counterspells)

---

Card Notes

Svyelun of Sea and Sky also helps with protection

Emperor Mihail also serves as token generator

Negate, Counterspell, and Arcane Denial can also be used as removal (timing dependent)

Considered Neoform to tutor for Murkfiend Liege or Seedborn Muse, but deck only has 6 four-drops
