Took out Enter the Unknown and replaced it with Shapers of Nature. Did the same with a Overgrown Armasaur and Seafloor Oracle

Taken out 2 Jade Bearers and added another Deeproot Elite and Deeproot Waters. I want to get out Deeproot Elite more frequently without having to search for them.

i would run Botanical sanctum over woodland Stream

Thanks for the suggestion zby67. I don't have any copies which is the reason why I don't run it.

there fairly cheap to get its a nice plus. i plan to add one more to my merfolk deck

Taken out my last 2 Overgrown Armasaurs and put in 1 Kopala, Warden of Waves and 1 Shapers of Nature.

Taken out all 3 of my Soul of the Rapids for 3 River Heralds' Boon. Thanks LeaPlath for the advice.

This honestly isnt a great deck. It seems half UG Ascend without playsets of the payoff. Half Merfolk.

Which do you want to be?

Started official Sideboard.

Added 2 Unclaimed Territory to Main

Taken a Forest and Island each.

Added 2 River Darter to Sideboard from Main. Replaced with Spell Pierce.

I am going to remake the deck. I'll move the current deck to another deck and then add in my new deck. The new deck is currently in playtesting

I am really excited for some of the new cards being revealed in Dominaria. Tatyova, Benthic Druid a great card for 5, even though it might be a little slow for my deck, it'll definitely help in the potential late game.

Took away a Woodland Stream and added Vineshaper Mystic. I have felt that I have been getting too many lands and not enough other cards.

Also took away 3 Waker of the Wilds for 3 Kumena's Speaker and 1 Mist-Cloaked Herald for 1 Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca.

I'm getting 2 more Herald of Secret Streams and 2 more Forerunner of the Heralds. Right now, I don't know where to put it in my deck.

Hey, why did you cut Unclaimed Territory? This budget land is wanted to be able to consistently cast Merfolk Mistbinder. Consider cutting 2x Forest and 2x Island for 4x Territory?

Other budget cards to consider adding:

• 4x Merfolk Branchwalker
• 4x Silvergill Adept
• 4x Opt

Cards to consider cutting:

• 3x Shaper Apprentice
• 3x Reason / Believe
• 4x River Herald's Boon
• 1x Shapers' Sanctuary
• 1x Forest

Hey multimedia, the reason I cut Unclaimed Territory is that I have lots of noncreature spells. Sure, I can always add colorless, but I still don't see the point in it. I'm not running a 3 color deck, so mana is always never a problem for me.

Maybe Zegana?

Hey Skyler1776,

Thanks for your comment and suggestion. For Zegana to be effective, I'll need more +1/+1 counters than just Deeproot Elite , Benthic Biomancer and Kumena in the late game. Also, for this deck to be effective, this deck has to have a very low curve, and Zegana might upset that.

Thanks again,

Our of curiosity, why no Jadelight Ranger , Deeproot Waters , Hadana's Climb  ^Flip, or Tempest Caller ? All seem sweet additions that are low curve yet powerful.

Hey Skyler1776,

Thanks for another comment. Sorry this reply took so long, I was caught up in remaking another Standard deck.

For Deeproot Waters , I have better things to do on turn 3 then cast an enchantment that will be removed in most games and effectively does nothing.

Jadelight Ranger just feels a bit too clunky and slow. For Emma Handy, Incubation / Incongruity used to be a playset of the Jadelights. But after finding she needed more removal (as the deck had none), she added Incubation.

Hadana's Climb  ^Flip is bit like Deeproot Waters if you don't have two or three counters on something (impossible if this is a turn 3 play). It'll just get removed.

I think Tempest Caller is worse than Sleep because Sleep gives me two turns to beat down the opponent with littl to no oppsition, where Caller only gives us one.

Thanks again,

Hexaflexagon
