First time building a Modern deck, suggestions are appreciated. If you like the deck be sure to +1 ;)
This is a mono-blue tribal deck built around Merfolk. I decided to make two exceptions and throw in
Harbor Serpent
and Stormtide Leviathan. If you stall long enough, you'll be able to make most of your Merfolk creatures unblockable.Basically, the strategy is stall and whittle away at your opponent's health with the Islandwalk ability. It gets better if you get Stormtide Leviathan out because it's unlikely that they'll be able to attack.I'm still trying to get a good sideboard and some way to defend against fliers. Suggestions for this would be appreciated.
PURPOSES OF EACH CARD:
Augur of Bolas
: Gives you more counterspells.
Coralhelm Commander: My current defense against flying.
Enclave Elite
: Free draw.
Harbor Serpent
: Don't need to worry about this guy not attacking.
Stormtide Leviathan: If this hits the board and your opponent leaves it unattended, it can get really dangerous.
Master of the Pearl Trident
: Gives the Merfolk a boost, and in some cases makes them unblockable.
Merfolk Looter
and
Merfolk Spy
: The Merfolk Thief Twins provide draw and knowing what your opponent has.
Merfolk Sovereign
: This thing is BOSS lategame, especially with
Master of the Pearl Trident
out.
Boomerang,
Hinder
, Essence Scatter, Negate, and Redirect: Stallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllls.
Aquitect's Will: Increases potential for creatures with Islandwalk.
MAYBEBOARD EXPLAINED:
Merfolk of the Pearl Trident
: Chump blocker. That's about it.
Syncopate
: Good counterspell. May replace with Dissipate.
Sideboard help and suggestions appreciated! <3
