Unblockable, blue merfolk and green support creatures.

The idea is to grow your unblockable merfolk and close out the game fast.

For this purpose we are playing River Sneak, full playset, and Metallic Mimic (for now two of), which most lists don't. For protection we have Blossoming Defense instead of Unsummon as this does not send our Curious Obsession into the graveyard. Kopala means another way of making the merfolk hard to remove.

We don't play Merfolk Branchwalker and Silvergill Adept as these are only value creatures and neither lords nor unblockable.

Tempest Caller lets every blockable creature swing in.

Hashep Oasis grows MCH and RS. Probably even a Kumena.

Kumena's Speaker is still in here because of its ability to turbo beatdown.
