First Version of my Homebrew for Ixilan Standard. Merfolk Lands. Would love some feedback :)

The point of the deck is to survive long enough to get Waker of the Wilds, Herald of Secret Streams and Nissa onboard so you have unblockable lands for final swing.

Hysterical note.. If I replace Kopala, Warden of Waves with Shapers of Nature the deck goes from 85% casual to 100% competitive. Thought it was funny since the algorithm obviously goes off of base power and toughness for competitiveness and not the actual abilities. I'm still not sure which I would rather have in the main though. So far Kopala, Warden of Waves has been working really well.
