    I play merfolk in historic. It crushes it, and I have gotten all the way to Mythic 98 only with that deck.
    In my testing, Glasspool Mimic is too slow and both Reejery and Tidebinder are incredible overperformers. Reejery allows you to dump the rest of your hand the next turn, or can tap down opposing blockers. Tidebinder is an incredible answer to many meta decks. Control, Devotion (craterhoof), vampires, etc.

      I'm really excited to try Merfolk in timeless, with the harbinger + master synergy. I also think that Subtlety (the blue evoke elemental) and flare of denial will be great additions to merfolk.

    I feel like this deck really wants Tishana's Tidebinder over Mimics. I admit I don't play Timeless, but that card just shuts down so much of what I see regularly played in Timeless decks.

    • @LegenVD
      @LegenVD  Месяц назад +5

      Mimic is primarily a land that happens to be a creature we can hit with Company. So we can't easily replace it with a different creature without adding more lands to the deck. I agree that there are some other great Merfolk we could add to the list in favor of some of the land hate, as I summarized in the conclusion. But for the purposes of this video I wanted to push some of the non-basic land hate to its limits to see how the deck would perform.

    Match 4 you might have been able to win if you took the mimic copying the lord, swing for 1 extra damage on turn 4, and then not casting flare and swing for 7 (5 creature itself 2 from the lord pump) extra damage on turn 5, which would be exactsies. With the Kozileks unsealing and Simulacrum synthesizer on the board with all the artifacts, there likely going to go off regardless of any interaction so focussing on dealing as much damage might he the move. Hindsight 20/20 though

    What would happen when you modify this deck by integrating blood moon? All non basic lands are mountains and islands at the same time?

    • @LegenVD
      @LegenVD  Месяц назад

      "Which takes precedence depends on their timestamp order (C.R. 613.7, 613.1d). For example, if Harbinger of the Seas has a later timestamp than Blood Moon (e.g., because it entered the battlefield later), then nonbasic lands are Islands and no other land types (C.R. 203.1a). If vice versa, Mountains and no other land types (C.R. 203.1a)."

      Possibly! Blood Moon is the more reliable card since it doesn't die to the new Evoke creatures. So if that's our plan I would stick to the Gruul land destruction deck featured some time ago with minor updates.
