Anyone else here thinks that we might se a merfolk deck in standard? really hoping that there are making merfolk there "small" tribel creatures. and with the new Wavecrash triton and thassa, god of the sea. We might be able to make it viable. just need some more merfolks in the next 200 cards they will release

It would be more viable if Master of the Pearl Trident gets reprinted. There's also quite a few simic merfolk. Shame Talrand, Sky Summoner is heading out as well merfolk happen to be one of my favorite tribals. I have been kinda hoping a merfolk tribal would reappear in Theros.

same here. But Master of the Pearl Trident was printed in m13. but we could maybe get a Lord of Atlantis i just really like the combos that you can do in blue. i'm diffently gonna to make one. Not that it have to be mono blue Trait Doctoring could maybe give you some help in going duel color.But crossing my fingers!

Yes! When Tidebinder Mage came with M14 I had my hopes up for Merfolk in Standard. I've even put off building a Modern Merfolk to see what Theros brings.

So a new merfolk is out. It lets you creature 1/0 elemental tokens based on your devotion when it enters the battlefield. and it gives all elemental +1/+1. so all the tokens are 2/1's. This lets you play blue/red. you can then cast curse of the swine to convert them to 2/2 green creatures:P

That new merfolk creature seems better with Young Pyromancer builds.

Mmmmm i don't see the red god ever gaining his body with that kind of build though. XD

well you only need 1 red mana to cast the red god. Then you just need to clone your master of waves with stolen identity:P and then you mass elementals + they get alot +1+1 :D
