So you love fish or you hate them ... but here we swim ... mostly unblockable.

This is a mix of unblockable-counter-lord-Kumena that fits my playstyle best.

It is kind of beat down with the sideboard option to control.

A typical merfolk to MTGArena =D

.. Since M20 it is way harder and I changed it a bit and added more answers. --
