Since learning that there is no viable Merfolk deck in Pauper, I decided to try my hand at building one. This is an Azorius merfolk midrange build with a focus on tapping merfolk for value. Please give feedback (especially for sideboard pieces to help against control, elves, or boggles)

Ideal Game Plan: Turn 1 - Play Aquitect's Will on opponents' first land. This will mess them up if they aren't playing blue (If they are playing blue, sideboard this card out ASAP and replace it with more control and/or other turn 1 plays) Turn 2 - Stonybrook Banneret to set up for cheap merfolk (Augur of Bolas is also a good turn 2 play in order to set up hand) Turn 3+ - Start controlling the board with removal and counterspells while playing merfolk at a discount (Fall from Favor is excellent for card advantage)

Win Con: Swing out with an army of merfolk. Using Merfolk Thaumaturgist to switch power and toughness can improve the swings of Auger of Bolace etc. Streambed Aquitects can also help increase damage and get damage through with Islandwalk.

Cool Tech: - Combo of Merfolk Thaumaturgist and Silvergill Douser make a repeatable pseudo-removal package to clear the board of any creature without protection or hexproof. - Streambed Aquitects and Aquitects Will pumps any creature and gives them unblockable. Excellent with Scroll Thief.
