From all the precon games I saw with these, this deck was consistently the threat if not just winning the game. Probably the best deck out of the box IMO
@@BL92291That's why you need a few alternatives to the commander. just in case someone knocks it out of the water. like path of Discovery for example. adding a few more Lords couldn't help either. there's also the heart of progress. a very cheap land that makes any creature entering the battlefield stronger. it also needs a good defense package as well. I have added a few cards to reshuffle my graveyard into my deck. just in case I can't bring anything back from the graveyard and all my best stuff is there. I also added a few foolproof counter spells and the mirror shield. if you want a good video on how not to run explorers of the Deep? watch that lost caverns episode of game knights
Kopala doesn't give them ward 2 because it leaves triggered abilities open. So, your opponent can use something like Blotfly Infestation to chain a board wipe of your 1/1 Merfolk tokens.
Yeah, I'm buying this. I have a zombie tribal deck and they can become strong really strong a few turns in, especially with death baron and a few others that give them not only 1/1 counters but also deathtouch, menace and so on 😈
I made a budget selesnia dragon bolster tribal deck for a precon level. My group said it's not precon level, so I can't wait to pull this deck out and say this is precon level.
My Merfolk deck was the first I built and invested in and I have to say this precon has a LOT of the cards I payed much more for to build. Hands down solid pick and for a reasonable price of roughly $37. To compare, my Merfolk currently sits at $350
Kumena is the commander for this Deck, i kick all the explore stuff and add a few bombs so this Deck is playable. Thats the only deck i buyed . New Art for Branching Evolution is also sick! Imagine having 10 merfolk and a seedborn Muse and kumena on board lol 🤣

True but get 5 dino turn 4 pretty crazy
Merfolk is good for sure, but if hakbal is not on the battlefield, the deck is pretty slow by itselft, it remind me my krenko deck but less powerful

A way better Merfolk decklist reveal than Commander VS'
LMAO
😂 You had me laughting at your reaction to Kumena a card that has been out for roughly 6 years or so. Definitely seems like a well built precon 👍
love the quality of the camera, i was lucky enough to have got my order for all 4 decks before prices went up
Thanks for the feedback - the book board helped to get a good angle.

Ah, good catch!
Also ward is counter if x isn't paid. So removal that can't be countered gets by ward... kop makes it cost 2 more period
Looks like a solid precon

Kopala cannot be a ward effect, since the ability does not counter, it just taxes
The X in Xolatoyac makes a “ch” sound, use this to impress your friends lol
Ooo, thanks for the future party trick ;)

What camera do you use?
Panasonic GH4
Add a little roaming throne into this deck, with hakbal, nobody laugh at he table.
Actually one of the few tribal i will be buying.
What's the point of the second hakbal?
Funsies.
Those fools are warped, imagine that.
