They’re back!!!! Thought I was done with fish when it was flipping between mono, simic, dimir & izzet, but I’m back, deep in it and LOVING this build. An exact mirror of what DB_Nikachu went 5-0 with recently.
Lord of Atlantis our oldest lord that gives the team islandwalk.
Master of the Pearl Trident our other lord that also gives the team islandwalk.
Harbinger of the Seas is a new beater but not because of it’s power, because it shuts down the opponents non basic lands and makes them islands. Bit of a non-bo as it shuts down cavern, but we have vial for that.
Tide Shaper one of our 1 drops that is better played on turn 2 so we can turn an opponents land into an island. Good for early game as the land will flip back if the creature is removed.
Mindspring Merfolk our new 1 drop that is better than I thought it would be during preview season. A mini lord as exhaust (can only be used once) gives our fish +1+1, but the card draw is what makes this card sneaky good.
Floodpits Drowner can be flashed in at anytime to lock down an opposing creature and then kick both back to our libraries.
Force of Negation one of our noncreature counters that we can pitch a card to cast rather than paying its cost.
Sink into Stupor
kicks target spell or nonland permanent to the targets hand, doubles as potential land is needed.
Flare of Denial new counter spell that allows us to sac a creature rather than paying its cost.
Dismember for removal.
Aether Vial a staple of the build that allows us to play multiple things per turn and get our creatures out without fear of being countered.
Spreading Seas more stable way to turn an opponents land to an island. Harder to get rid of than Tide Shaper.
Cavern of Souls a staple in tribal decks, allows us to cast our creatures without being countered.
Gloomlake Verge gives us access to black so Dismember isn’t as painful to cast.
Mutavault land that doubles as a creature and gets buffed by our lords.
Otawara, Soaring City land that can also be used to kick a nonland permanent to our opponents hand.
Tishana's Tidebinder lets us counter a triggered or activated ability and mutes it as long as tishana stays on the board.
Vodalian Hexcatcher a squishy lord that has flash that lets us sac a creature to counter a noncreature spell as long as our opponent doesn’t spent 1.
Phantasmal Image copy a creature on the field and sac it when targeted.
Consign to Memory lets us counter a triggered ability or colorless spell, multiple times if it’s replicated.
Stern Scolding good early game creature counter.
