Description

Give things counters by exploring or with Deeproot Eliteimage and Hadana's Climb // Winged Temple of Orazcaimage.

Mist-Cloaked Heraldimage and especially Herald of Secret Streamsimage let your merfolk hit face.

Curious Obsessionimage on unblockable creatures is stupid valuable, and you can sift for lands with explore creatures.

Kumena, Tyrant of Orazcaimage is hugely powerful. She can be unblockable basically all the time given the tempo of this deck, she's a decent blocker, and she allows you to leave 3 merfolk untapped as blockers (some merfolk that weren't currently unblockable, by preference) and tap them at instant speed before your turn for a draw.

***

Use your Syncopateimage to deal with cards you know are coming... Refurbishimage in GPG decks, The Scarab Godimage in scarab god decks, Teferi, Hero of Dominariaimage in turbofog, etc.

***

Kopala, Warden of Wavesimage is excellent against the meta right now. There's so much red or Rakdos aggro going around that preboarding for burn spells, push, and cast down can actually pay off.

***

I'm still working with land balance. Strangely enough, 20 feels like PLENTY. Turns out with the ludicrous amount of fairly inexpensive drawpower in this deck it's pretty easy to hit land drops.

Try it out yourself, let me know! 

***

The only mainboard cards that drop out of standard on October 5th are Botanical Sanctumimage, and unfortunately Heroic Interventionimage which is great against board wipes from sideboard, but that's still pretty cool...

Isn't collected company better than seafloor Oracle?
