No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

I\'m new to making decks myself and could use all the tips I can get.

This is a fairly rough version of a merfolk deck, combined with some black cards to make it interesting i guess.

Tell me what you think, and please ... comment :) how can this deck get better?

*****
For some reason the database could\'t find 2 cards I want in my maindeck:

2 merrow Witsniper
4 Stonybrook Banneret

Deck discussion for Merfolk Menace V1c

Reduce the land to 22, you could include 4 dimir signets if you are concirned about mana fix.
Beacon of Tomorrows is not useful as merfolk have their own infinite turn combu with Summon the School and Wanderwine Prophets. Dimir infiltrator has no use in this deck, nor does soul barier. I like Dimir Dobbelganger, it's good in a mill deck but you'll need drowner of secrets to make it a mill deck. Without drowner Merrow Commerce looses its appeal.
What about adding 1xCircu, Dimir Lobotomist

This is a well built deck, it needs some more tweaks though. you almost never need more than 20 lands. Id say you probably could get away with 10 plains and 10 Islands, or 8 and 12 respectively, also to give myself an edge and make a card such as Sea's Claim useful, I would add Islandwalk creatures, and I would add cards such as Tideshaper Mystic. You could use the tideshaper to islandwalk your opponent to death( it changes target land for your turn)

I would only take 2xWanderwine Prophets as it is mid to late game and 3xSummon the school as it is quite powerful. If you want pure island walk aggro, take 4xlords, 4xMerrow Reejerey. Take Aquitect's Will instead of Sea's Claim. Concider taking Fortify instead of Strength of Unity, it's a good kill.
Another nice card to concider is Silvergill Adept, he adds card advantage and with island walk it's pretty agressive play. Again 22 land is more then plenty for a 2 color aggro.
