I'm putting together a set of 5 mono-color decks to use for teaching new players as well as to have a sort of old school tabletop game set. I want to be able to just pull the box out and play pretty much anytime with anyone, and teach new players quickly.

I had a similar set of 5 decks previously and I taught several new players using them, but I started modifying and improving the decks and they got unbalanced, so I'm starting over. I'm attempting to highlight major archetypes for each color to give new players an idea of what to expect if they continue playing outside of this set. I'm also sticking to the early sets...primarily Revised since that's about when I started, but dipping into Chronicles and just a touch of Fallen Empires to spice up a couple of the decks.

This is the mono blue deck. It's essentially a control and merfolk deck, hoping to cast lots of merfolk early, pumping them with Lord of Atlantis and letting them Islandwalk via Phantasmal Terrain, while taking care of threats with Counterspell, Unsummon and Control Magic. Getting a Jayemdae Tome into play will let me draw cards quicker than my opponent. Mahamoti Djinn is the big finisher.
