So here's my Merfolk deck built from what I have on hand.  It's for multiplayer (of course) and I wanted to get some use put of my Talrands. I'm hoping for some color-screw lockdown by turning everyone's lands into islands, but I might need to add more non-islands to the deck.

As I wrote that last line, I just realized that I have white spells and no white mana. Rookie move. 😔 I'll fix it.

I can't admit I like {Talrand's Invocation} over {Intruder Alarm} and it's combo with {Stonybrook Schoolmaster} :)

I know this is made of cards you own.

{Intruder Alarm} just makes me groan. I've used and abused it so much that I'm tired o it. It is a great card, and a great combo, but a little TOO great?

I'm monkeying around with this deck now. Just added two {Cavern of Souls}. Hehehe

How about {Pemmin's Aura} and {Paradise Mantle} combo? Even if you don't abuse it, {Morphling} suit is always a good time strategically. It adds versatility.

Edit: or {Morphling}. He's a merfolk too ya know...

I had thought about "I am Superman", it does work with 6 of my fish.  I feel like I need more reasons to tap, though.  Should I go up to two mantles?  I'm usually not worried about targeting so much as recovering from mass removal.

btw, Morphy ain't no 'folk.  He's a shapeshifter.  ;)

Some additions, need to whittle.
