Deck discussion for Canonist Control

I don't get it. What does it do? Half mill, quater landfall, a bit of counter. Make up your mind here. There is no focus at all. Cut adventurers gear, explorers scoop. You might want to run more counter spells and the Leyline of Antisipation (cuz it never lets you waste a turn). Run more Ethersworn Canonists (they're easy to get) and more merfolk. You can use merfolk other than the ones produced by Lull mage after all. Use the level up ones like Crypologist (Because it's good) and the Coralhelm guy. Like I said, your not really focusing on how to do anything in this deck. You'll counter a bit, mill a tad, and die horribly.

Thorgrim having just counters won't do much good if you don't have a good killing system hence the landfall combo.

The milling is to give extra tension to the opponent forcing them to do stupid moves plus the canonist is just there to make things worse for them. I also know that lull mage can use other merfolk but thanks for pointing out the Cryptologist.

Not unless you know how to exploit its effects, trust me I know how to play with canonist in play.
