{G}{U}

• this a fun deck, but not something that will win you FNM
• it's a tribal but since in Pioneer we only have 2 lords (Vodalian Hexcatcher & Merfolk Mistbinder) we have to focus on +1/+1 counter mechanic
• our main sources of +1/+1 counters are: Deeproot Elite, Jade Bearer and Merfolk Skydiver
• our main targets for +1/+1 counters are: Benthic Biomancer, Merfolk Skydiver, our Lords (see above) and Merfolk 1/1 U w/ Hexproof tokens generated by Jungleborn Pioneer and Deeproot Waters
• finally, to capitalize on all those +1/+1 counters we have Herald of Secret Streams - that can win you game right there if you have proper board presence and spent counters wisely
• there will be games where this deck will slog out and RDW will kick your teeth in, but there are going to be games where you tempo so nicely the tears of your opponent will sustain you for days :P
• "the RNG giveth, the RNG taketh"
