Sorry I meant to call it Merfolk combo. How do I edit it?

Oh nice, infinite life! It looks like this deck could be a pain to beat. Have you considered any fetchlands, shocklands, or anything better than the guildgates?

Eretoryi I have thought about it, but I do not have enough money at the moment. As soon as I do, I will probably upgrade to shocklands/scrylands.

I guess I'm not seeing the infinite life combo in here though. You should add in Stonybrook Schoolmaster for Judge of Currents' ability to really trigger. I'd also try to play around with your quantities in here since you're running 66 cards when you only need 60. At that point there becomes a lack of consistency especially when you have 30 lands and full play sets of cards, making you less likely to draw what you need. If you need help with this build I can refer you to the deck Merfolk Mischief on MisterHyde's page to tweak it accordingly, and if you would like to see another way merfolk is ran go ahead and take a look at my deck Ebb and Flow - Merfolk that you can see on my main page. Just click on my username and it will bring you to my profile. I really like the idea of infinite combo with merfolk aside from the generic aggro version you usually see, like mine. Hope my suggestions help.

calvinwarning The infinite life is the combo of infinitely tapping and untapping Kiora's Follower with either another Kiora's Follower or Unbender Tine. Therefore, it is infinite life via Judge of Currents

I suppose Merrow Harbinger helps this deck out with consistency and increases the likelihood of getting two Kiora's Followers on the field, but still I'd cut some lands in here. Scry lands are nice to go through your deck, but are somewhat slow so I wouldn't run twelve of them. Looking back at it I think I misread Judge of Currents and thought it was whenever a creature enters the battlefield, like Soul Warden. Adding in Intruder Alarm with Stonybrook Schoolmaster triggered infinitely will give you infinite merfolk creature tokens, so with Judge of Currents on the battlefield you'll gain infinite life as well. Also, Drowner of Secrets should be considered for an infinite mill combo used similarly to the combo I previously stated. Overall, I like the concept and it looks fun to play.
