That is exactly right in my opinion.

I even started a threat in the forum section on how to improve this site so make it grow bigger.
Like make it more modern looking, make it have features like sharing decklists, sorting your deck collection, or even make it possible to filter EDH/Modern/Standard on the front page. What about importing/exporting decks from Arena? - Things like that could make the vault a better tool and would bring more users for sure.

They told me that they are currently focusing on making the site more mobile friendly... i think that was one or two years ago.

Also not all people really want comments or unasked help on their decks, they just accidentally happen to be on the front page by creating a new deck.

Why is there no section like "Help Me" where people can specifically ask for assistance with deck building?
After one day your new deck gets lost in the deeps of the vault and will never be found again.

Regarding Northernwarlord and others, I have to say I am glad that they have stopped spamming the vault with budget decks. I never understood what this is about.

For a more competitive oriented player there is not much to gain here. High quality lists are hard to find, and often outdated. Many users have hundreds of decks that never get updated. Its very rare that there are real discussions about card choices.

So i mostly use this site just for deck storage nowadays.
Although i sometimes try to give positive feedback on other decks if i find a deck that is interesting to me, or i have any experience with.

Im sorry to say that, but isnt this deck awful stupid? You have literally no interactions. You cast creatures and then win or not. I can not imagine this beeing fun to play. Please dont get me wrong, maybe its just not the type of deck i enjoy, but i think magic has so much more strategy to offer.
What about unearth to work with spark elemental? What about spells that trigger swiftspear? What about some more goblins and goblin grenade?

Whats the wall for?
Also there is Sigardas Aid to equip the hammer
Kor Duelist for double strike and turn 2 kill
Inkmoth nexus for more infect
Maybe go up in Brave the Elements for more protection

i agree. I've tried Faerie Seer but was not pleased, i'd rather keep Opt in its spot

I never liked bant spirits, so im currently working on a uw list too. Since horizons i think mariner helps the deck a lot.
In my list im also testing giver of runes, have you considered it? Regarding your list, i think wanderer and spell queller are crucial and should be 4 of.
Your mana base differs very much from mine and seems awkward to me, but i wont say it does not work.
Take a look at my page to find my list.

Why aether vial? Most of your creatures already have flash. I think this has too much creatures and lacks discard spells.

Hi! I think spam merfolk and hope for the best is not a proper strategy to play magic. I also play simic merfolk on arena and there are some key cards the deck needs in my opinion.

4 silvergil adept for card draw
4 benthic biomancer for early pressure and card selection
4 deeproot elite to grow your creatures
4 jade bearer to put counters on your creatures.
4 merfolk mistbinder as the only lord we have
Then i play 2-3 herold of secret streams as a curve topper. It makes your creatures unblockable so you can swing for the win.

Try to craft some of your missing cards.
There are different takes on the merfolk strategy, but this works fine for me.

Here are some suggestions:
Detention sphere over oblivion ring
Gideon of the trials
Secure the wastes
Field of ruin over tec edge
Memorial of genius over blighted cataract
4 path to exile

Nice list, but too many sorcery speed spells for my taste. Ive always felt like faeries like to operate at instant speed. Thats why i also dont like jace in this deck. But there a different aproached and different play styles.

As far as i can tell after playtesting and according to the latest tournament results, biomancer is the way to go! Adept can be activated if there is a redundant card to cycle in your hand, otherwise you dont have to and its still a body on the board. With Cursecatcher on the other hand you sacrifice board presence if you make use of its ability. Also its quite easy to play around cursecatcher.

Im not too familiar with the power of consuming fervor, but i guess a combat trick like brute force may be superior here.

Nono brute force is one mana

Essentially an other lightning bolt

Pretty decent list!
I guess I would go up on the goblin count instead of Glitterfang, and Lightning Berserker. There are some more good goblin one drops like Raging Goblin and Fanatic Firebrand that could fit the theme. In that case you could play Goblin Grenade - one of the best one drop burns spells, but requires having goblins.
Also Brute Force comes to my mind.

I never really liked jace and brutality in this deck, but if it works for you, it is a solid list! +1

Why unloved? This looks like a solid netdeck

Your uw deck could look something like this:

I think its a pretty strong list for its price.
Feel free to copy it

Hi there! Am i right guessing that this is your first attempt building uw control? If you need some help i would have some suggestions for you.

4x 6mana legendary planeswalker is not the best idea, because they can get stranded in your hand. Think about 2 gideon of the trials, 1 gideon jura, 1 elspeth instead. Gideon is super fast and can win games on his own.

Mass removal: here i would play supreme verdict or day of judgement because they are faster than end hostilities.

Counterspells: i recommend 4 mana leak 2 negate and only one dissolve, same reason, mana leak is just faster.

Removal: obviously path to exile is the best removal, but for budget reasons you could play oust or condemn

Card draw: you should find room for 4 opt or serum visions.

Now try to rearrange your deck with my suggestions, then we can talk about manabase and creature choices.
