The Lost Caverns of Ixalan might have one of the best sets of precon ever printed, with every single one being competitive out of the box in its own way.

This is my attempt in upgrading the Merfolk list (to be fair, lots of top cards are already in the basic deck) to enhance its effectiveness.

The goal is simple, flood the board with fish-people, grow them with our commander and his crazy-strong ability, to swing and k.o. your opponents.

Enjoy!

Any comments or help will be greatly appreciated :)
