Hmmm... It's fishy, if you ask me!

I actually like it. Easy to gasp. Very synergetic. Looks like a really fun deck to give a new modern player

I think it looks really good.  My only thought is you don't have enough artifacts to make {thirst for knowledge} worth it.  There's probably a better card draw for you than that.
I've found that 2 thirsts for 10 artifacts work good...

It is. That why it's built. I'm new to modern, so far it's a good deck.

Updated. Still feels like it is missing something. Works well though.

You could add  {Master of Waves} as maybe a 2 of. It's a good late game finisher that can't be lightning bolted.

Updated version. Playing this in tomorrow's FNM. Any suggestions?

Looks similar to the Atlantis deck I made

-2 {Vapor Snag}
+2 {Master of Waves}

MoW is absolutely insane in merfolk. If they try to kill him (which is almost impossible for b/g/x rock to do), you can just vial in {phantasmal image} in response. He is game-ending.

In the sideboard:

-1 {Swan Song}
+1 {Hurkyl's Recall}

Affinity is the only matchup that's glaringly bad for merfolk, so the more sideboard devoted to it, the better. {Swan Song} is bad because it makes you 2-for-1 yourself.
