njohnson2, thanks for the suggestion! Generally, if I'm casting Wanderwine Prophets, I'm taking infinite turns thanks to Stonybrook Schoolmaster. So, Azor's Elocutors would be a little superfluous. And, I'm looking to kill my opponents, not make them angry. :)

-1 Veteran of the Depths, +1 Stonybrook Banneret

-1 Island, -1 Plains, -1 Merrow Harbinger. -1 Phyrexian Metamorph, -1 Treasure Cruise, -1 Mind Stone, +1 Flooded Strand, +1 Skycloud Expanse, +1 Trickbind, +1 Dig Through Time, +1 Mystic Remora, +1 Swan Song

I still love this deck, especially because i play Merfolk in Modern too. :) I hope you keep your deck up to date regularly!

Hipparchos, thank you! Modern Merfolk is a ton of fun as well. I do try to keep things up to date on here as much as possible. I think this is still accurate as of this moment.

I love merfolk synergies, and the control, so +1 from me.

Was rading your description though, and it says Muddle the Mixture can find Wanderwine Prophets or Stonybrook Schoolmaster. It can find neither. I don't really have any suggeestions, just wanted to point that out. Must be CMC 2.

RazortoothMtg, good catch! I must have been overly aggressive in editing. Muddle the Mixture fetches Vedalken AEthermage, which, in turn, fetches either the Prophet or Schoolmaster. Yay, wizards! It's a bit convoluted, but has led to a few surprise victories. I'll have to revisit the description once I'm home from work today. Thank you!

Hi, This deck is really similar to mine, however I decided to go tribal Merfolk for flavor reasons, knowing Wizard tribal is objectively better, however my deck still seems to perform very well. I was just wondering if Puresight Merrow is a worthy card to put in the deck, currently i think i would switch out Cosi's Trickster for it, even though it would raise my average cmc. I run Paradise Mantle Combo's as well and just wasn't certain how worth the combo is.

Also i noticed that you run Steelshaper's Gift instead of Enlightened Tutor , and I don't see any Intruder Alarm even though the deck is normally able to abuse it.

I think its an awesome deck, and i know you have it retired, im just personally trying to make my deck a bit better tuned if i can, and was curious if you had a method to your madness haha.

Heres my deck in case you'd like to check it out for reference: Sygg, Freed from Control
