THE MERFOLK ARE ATTACKING!!! Merfolk are a modern staple, well were a staple, and I tried to bring them into pioneer. Like other Aggro/Tribal decks having lords, especially non-legendary really are useful to stack power across your board. Merfolk Mistbinder is a classic lord in the 2 drop slot, pumping all for +1/+1. Metallic Mimic tho it is not a lord per-say is still empowering other merfolk who enter after it. It also creates a pump with a +1/+1 counter allowing the pump to exist after Mimic would leave. The best lord is card: Voldalian Hexcatcher not only a lord, but with flash allows to be in a control sense. On that same point, it now turns all your merfolk into potentially sac/counter spell outlets. The other merfolk are to be pumped or pumping the rest of the board Deeproot Elite Kopala, Warden of Waves provides some protection in the form of tax. Realmwalker allows you to refill your board as of course your opponent will try to remove your board. Growth Spiral is to help ramp/ cycle through some cards (this part of the deck, ramping/refilling my hand is where i need some major help) Kiora, the Crashing Wave helps in this area as well as provides protection from more aggro deck. Of course the -5 isn't going to hurt either. I don't expect to get to that point in the game, but it is a new target the opponent needs to keep in mind for playing. We can go wide with our low drop deck as well as adding in more bodies Deeproot Waters Heroic Intervention is for protection to board wipes and massive attacks card: Jwari Diruption is to hit our land drops or counter spells card: Polymophous Rush is a funny card with different uses. It allows one of our cards to offensively or defensively to match the power of the opponent by becoming one or even more then one copies of their cards. If opponent doesn't have big cards for me to hit, then i can turn some of my lesser cards into more lords and increase the pumping by others.

Now the hard point, the sideboard. With merfolk most of my side board deals with different creatures to be the answers to problems I might face in this current meta time.
