'urrah! Energy is dead.

Here is my version of Fish, because Kumena is a beast.

I strongly feel that for merfolks, the go wide strategy is better option, than trying to eke out small advantage with explore. Simply because merfolks are a tempo deck, not control and if Kumena is the best creature, this version gives the most value out of him.

This deck capitalizes on +1/+1 counters and "free" minions, generating value that way.

I still haven't decided if [Herald of Secret Streams] is better than [Tempest Caller] Yes it is easy to remove, but outside of sweepers there isn't that many removals around. For this version I decided to try out [Tempest Caller] because the ability is ETB, and with this swarm strategy few Drake Tokens out of nowhere wont affect the gameplan that much anyway.

I'm really loving [Siren's Ruse] it does exactly what the deck wants... It dodges removal, gives more counters, skips opponents combat, forces your creatures through. Funny to use limited tricks in standard.
