jk its 3 mana, its easy

[crystal cliff]

I think it could potentially be pretty nice as long as you’ve got a decent amount of basics

[compact trout]

Also emry fuckign sucks in this deck

[compact trout]

Im honestly a bit low

[vagrant remnant]

any reason for mirror entity?

[compact trout]

Its a good merfolk

[crystal cliff]

I would keep that in mind as you go since it’s a bit of a deflation moment if x is 5 and you’ve only got 2-3 basics left

[compact trout]

Mhmm

Yeah thats a really good point

Upping my basic count isnt exactly a bad idea though

[crystal cliff]

Tocasia makes it not super necessary but if you want more sources of easy tapping there’s the spacecraft. They’re not very merfolk but they are kinda tocasia as alien artifacts.

[compact trout]

Im not sure which spacecraft would fit

The academy one I dont have enough artifacts for

Let me see

Oh there's [[the seriema]] of course

When The Seriema enters, search your library for a legendary creature card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
Station (Tap another creature you control: Put charge counters equal to its power on this Spacecraft. Station only as a sorcery. It's an artifact creature at 7+.)

Flying
Other tapped legendary creatures you control have indestructible.

[crystal cliff]

Dawnsire or broodship are simplest probably

[compact trout]

I actually dont really hate a station here

[crystal cliff]

Sereima good but I didn’t remember your legendary count

[compact trout]

Its something to do with my excess power

[[lumen frigate]] also an easy include

Since it starts doing something early

It’s Tocasias ship

[compact trout]

Oooh

Damn I really missed out in this set

I didnt play during this block

[vagrant remnant]

its the standard precon these came in

[crystal cliff]

I like that wave is water themed and it definitely could do some funky stuff for you

Like open someone for a kill after you tap all your fish

[compact trout]

Yeah thats what im envisioning

Im hanging out, assembling lords, and then I can swing in after a tap out

Im really liking this emerging water theme

[[prime speaker zagana]] might be worth considering

• Destroy target enchantment.
• Put a +1/+1 counter on each creature target player controls.

[vagrant remnant]

hmm nice card, didnt know that one

[compact trout]

Seems interesting

I like that its modal interaction in a deck thats probably not going to be the most "responsible" lol

And im developing a bit of a +1/+1 counter subtheme after some of these additions I think

[vagrant remnant]

dont underestimate it, i build around it with doublers. i usually get around +10+10 per creature per combat

and they're all unblockable ^^

[crystal cliff]

I like that it triple plays as a boost for your board, a tapping source, and interaction against two card types

[compact trout]

Yeah same

And having spell that specifically kill high power threats is something I value pretty highly

Becauuse its always that guy with a korvold or whatever

Do we like [[splendid reclamation]], or similar? Im a bit on the fence about it

I have no sac outlet to make it really go off, but even just as a reward for losing a creature it seems okay

Gotcha

[compact trout]

Ive actually never played with this card before this deck, but I think someone from commander chat pitched me on it

This seems like the right home to me

Im trying to cut down to 100, im still not sure about the lords tbh

I think they're probably not worth cutting until I see how it feels with all merfok

But I do have fucking 47 creatures

I kind of still think I should have at least ONE way to bin my commander, but a sac outlet is really super useful in any other situation

Well I say that but I actually have a few other things that make sacrifice somewhat valuable

[crystal cliff]

The last two cards I have to suggest tonight, especially since you’re looking to cut

Are [[into flood maw]] partly for flavor partly for interaction

I’m super curious to hear what experiences you have with Faces of the Past in particular

[compact trout]

I hope I get to play it

I think I am a bit interesting in adding a sac outlet at some point in this deck's life for my commander and for faces and for a few of the merfolk, but for new I like it a lot. Its on the ground, its doing things, its flavorful

Its wet

Its green

I'm happy that I've finally been seeing other people get the Tocasia as a Bant merfolk commander idea

I like the space theme, i think I want more spacecraft oo. I definitely want to make space for formless Genesis in mine now.

Mine is 100% merfolk in the type line now to fit the "anthropologist studying alien lifeform" theme but all the random tap synergy creatures are so neat

I kind of want to make another tap synergy deck now

Formless Genesis is a based card

Have it in Jenova for my mutants deck

[hidden light]

Formless Genesis is one of my favorite cards from the last year

[compact trout]

Its so cool idk how i missed it. After aida suggested spacecraft I definitely want to make room for more, probably elevator and the pew pew one

[hidden light]

Everyone missed it. It was in the Winter precon

It was reprinted in the EOE lands precon too

Because insect subtheme + wanting lands in graveyards

You can sort of see how narrow the use is currently https://edhrec.com/cards/formless-genesis

I think retrace is generally an under loved mechanic

I think people haven’t fully caught up to how strong it’s gotten thanks to all the land recursion coming out

But it's now just making my brain think about [[doc aurlok, grizzled]] bears deck with Lumra, Ayula etc.

Will put that discussion in my own thread rather than have it here, but figured would at least bring it up because it's related

I'm not sure I have much to say about the deck as I'm not sure why Tocasia is the commander and why white is even in the deck, considering that it's main use is for Tocasia

Sure, but from my perspective it's clear that many of the deckbuilding choices are incentivizing playing pet cards/lines over running smoothly, which is totally fine but idk if I can help you make your pet lines more fun

I guess the question if I'm looking at the deck is @compact trout what do you want me to look for?

To clarify Rouge specifically tagged me to take a look at the deck which is why I commented

I'm not just out here trolling for no reason

[hidden light]

OK, and I'm sorry for the other comment

[stark totem]

It's ok you gotta scroll up a long time to see the context, no way you'd have seen it!

I'm out here trolling for no reason

[stark totem]

You know what, if the boss wanted me to be on time he'd have let me work from home!

[timid marten]

Are there only 3 white merfolk in your deck rouge?

[compact trout]

I tagged the people i could think of that are into thematic builds instead of just power building.

[compact trout]

It seems so

I realized last night how many cool merfolk I missed on my first pass

Its supposed to be very focused on the feeling of archeology and lorwyn merfolk overall

[timid marten]

My humble opinion is that bant isn't really doing anything for you and basically nothing benefits from being tapped

[compact trout]

I really like the white cards I do get to play like schoolmaster and halo fountain

[stark totem]

Ok so what do you want the deck to do more of?

[compact trout]

The more tap synergy i can play while sticking with the water/research/merfolk themes, as well as interesting effects that I can include that will make it a more exciting experience

Its definitely an under supported archetype, but A. Thats okay and B. Lorwyn 2 is coming soon

[stark totem]

Ok well my first thought is that running Tocasia without [[Tocasia's Dig Site]] is an instant flavor fail, how dare you sir for leaving out a colorless utility land in a 3 color deck with only 34 lands

[gray siren]

https://scryfall.com/card/mkc/308/tocasias-dig-site

Should I have more generic tribal payoffs?

Thats something that im a huge noob about

Because i only started playing tribal again this year

[crystal cliff]

They’re handy, I build a lot of kindred stuff and the generic options can be nice

Depends on what you want that your type can use more of

Cost reducers, anthems, etc

[[kindred discovery]] is an easy dunk tho

Working on a new deck, I think its a pretty exciting concept. Im doing blue-red aggro with [[gut, true soul zealot]] and [[sword coast sailor]] as my commander. The idea is to play an earnest red beatdown plan, and to leverage blue's card draw via [[coastal piracy]] effects. I think blue also has some cool artifact synergy I can tap into, as well as token synergy perhaps.

P.S. [[aura thief]] is hot tech with gut.

Still tuning a bit, im going to start playtesting now. I think the A. plan is looking really good, and I have a TON of interaction. Im looking to add a few cards that can help me close the door on a game, but im not sure where to look. Something with modality would be great cause I am an aggro deck

https://moxfield.com/decks/9smJ3OsWe06_0a2SBQvNBw

Im liking the look

Part of me thinks the white variation still sounds very fun so I might make two lists

[compact trout]

This is my tentative 99 for this deck so far. So many decisions to make around the # of inclusions for different bending effects. Definitely hard to find space for interaction, card draw, ramp, and win conditions haha, especially wanting to do something a bit different as a win condition.

Overall I really like where its at. It can pop off really hard with a flipp avatar, and the win con of doubling his power and taking a bunch of combat steps is cute. We'll see if that remains my final choice.

I may make a higher bracket version with tutors very focused on moonmist, we will see. Either way, I am happy to have jumped through the bending hoops and explored the set https://moxfield.com/decks/zqVHu_lT70eplKyCvz3hRQ

it just can't be any of the payoffs that are more than 2

Im still adding cards too, dont worry

I like that this hits permanents

[dusty charm]

Me too big fan

[compact trout]

I'm going to cut a lot of the medium value creatures, i'd rather they be artifacts

I think i'm fairly confident about my GC choices here

I really like force+fierce in decks like these

Currently ToR is taking a slot to combo with MoM, but that might be honestly too fast anyways

So one of those cards probably needs cut

MoM combos with double artifact land which is really cool
