Modified Version of Dev's original deck. You can find his version here: https://youtu.be/3w52SYBhlTY

In the deck, the objective is to have Metallic Mimic give your merfolk counters till turn 4/5 when you drop Herald of Secret Streams and start swinging in for unblockable damage. We essentially want to ignore what our opponent is doing and try to swing through for the win before they can win themselves. In order to do that, we need to protect our own creatures so cards like Shaper's Sanctuary and Blossoming Defense help us do just that. Alternatively, we can also win by swarming the board with 2/2 Hexproof Merfolk tokens with Deeproot Waters and Metallic Mimic. The deck obviously struggles against board wipes, so we try to deal with that in the sideboard using Negate, and it can also have some trouble with aggro if you get a slow start, so Life goes on is for that match-up.
