Simic Merfolk!

Thinking of using this deck as my main standard deck once rotation happens.

I need help finalising this deck.

What else can I add/swap to make this deck more competitive and viable in the format?

How can this sideboard be better adjusted to match against other decks?

Land Base Ideas

• 4x Hinterland Harbor
• 4x Unclaimed Territory
• 2x Memorial to Genius
• 2x Woodland Stream
• 6x Forest
• 6x Island

How else can I improve the land base?

What cards should I pick up before Guilds of Ravnica spoilers come out? Would waiting for the spoilers to be released be better?

Potential Upgrades:

1. Curious Obsession
2. Grow from the Ashes
3. Opt
4. Chromatic Lantern
5. Radical Idea
6. Quasiduplicate
7. Passwall Adept
8. Might of the Masses
9. Urban Utopia

Thanks in advance! +1 upvote if you liked it
