4  {Æther Vial} is probably the best choice it gives merfolk a huge advantage to be able to flash in lords and your deck is pretty much all 2 drops so a turn 1  {Æther Vial} seems like it would make this deck unstoppable

Removed the charms to fill out playsets of things. Made room in the sideboard for Meddling Mage because cheap {Nevermore} I can throw out of a Vial

Kira, if I decide to get it, will likely either replace the Aquitect's Wills (not likely) or be main boarded as a one or two-of. Suggestions?

There's 98 pages of it, but for in-depth assessment of merfolk in modern you cannot go past this:

Well thanks :D I'll definitely have to dig through it

I love playing merfolk, great fun. I have just ordered some aether vials to make mine work properly, and I'm looking forward to some mutavaults from m14 too.

You should try the new merfolk from M14  {Tidebinder Mage} it's a kind of removal which this deck has very little of.

He'll likely see more sideboard use than anything... He's not bad, but not main-board quality

Yes, too much other good stuff at two U for that to be mainboard.

Lol I understand... Besides, I think I'm the only one who uses  {Master of Waves} in modern folk

I use Master of Waves as a 4 of.

How is Thassa doing for you? I play-tested with her, and IMO she was less than stellar. Could just be my play style though...
