---

Merfolk deck with wizard and tap combo subthemes. This deck relies on tap enablers like Drowner of Secrets, Sigil Tracer, Lullmage Mentor, and Azami, Lady of Scrolls to activate cards like Stonybrook Schoolmaster, Fallowsage, and Judge of Currents.

This deck can just as easily be a highlander deck, just shuffle Sygg in and you're ready to go. The deck doesn't rely on Sygg to go off, his purpose is more to protect my other merfolk and get in for some commander damage.

Notable combos include: Stonybrook Schoolmaster + Wanderwine Prophets + Opposition or Azami, Lady of Scrolls = infinite tokens to sac to the prophets, if you add one of the cards like Spreading Seas in the deck, and Lord of Atlantis or Master of the Pearl Trident, you can make the prophets unblockable and create a lock on infinite turns.

Elite Arcanist can exile a Counterspell or Disenchant for additional protection.

Honden of Cleansing Fire + Honden of Seeing Winds = Straight Value, also makes up for not drawing a card from Island Sanctuary

wakethrasher + Basalt Monolith + any of our unblockable combos means we can take out any one opponent in a turn.

Original deck idea from Tolarian Community College and tweaked to fit my budget and meta needs. I'm still a fairly inexperienced EDH player so all suggestions are welcome!
