I don't recommend this deck if you want something that's higher powerlevel. This is a tribal deck, and although it works and does what it is built to do, in a pod of 4 players, you'll be lacking a sufficient amount of protection against boardwipes. I stacked up a few vistories, but all of the matches either lacked boardwipes or I could successfully counter them. I'd rather say this deck performs better in political games, rather then in a free for all game.

There are a few cards you could say are an odd inclusion. For example wrap in vigor isn't something you see a lot in commander, but honestly, it's a cheap way to at least attempt keeping your board for a little longer. The other card I have here is Negate, it is simply included because of the merfolk artwork. I'm sure there are countless better options for this slot. It can and does stop a Rift though...

Made some updates to the deck, they are the following:

Added Fabled Passage as it is a great card for deckthinning, while it gives a basic land, potentially untapped.

Replaced Simic Cluestone with Simic Locket, but I am thinking switching it back as Lockets are very suboptibal, as a replacement for Cluestones. I must add, this is the only coloured manarock I use (no Signet or Cluestone in this deck).

Added a Flooded Grove, and a Breeding Pool.

Gaea's Skyfolk was sadly replaced with Merfolk Skydiver. Big loss artwise, but the Skydiver does a lot more for the same CMC.

Mystic Snake was replaced by Repudiate//Replicate, we'll see how it performs, I'm thinking this card is a little more flexible (Not to mention if I got Galina out).

Lord of Atlantis and Deepchannell mentor are the two last additions. Lords are always welcome, Islandwalk helps a lot, since most people play blue, and in case they don't, the Mentor will help get that demage through.
