I might replace {doom blade} with {go for the throat}, {dismember}, or {death wind}, but that's just me

I'd replace Scroll Thief with Augur of Bolas, as I could imagine the thief being chump blocked all day. Maybe some Adaptive Automatons. Name 'Merfolk' or 'Drake' depending on the situation.

{adaptive automoton} and I'd definitely go with at least three {phantasmal image} or some other clone spell.

Ill think about the automatons, the augur i dont like though because i could be getting rid of a creature or even mana that i need

Most of your deck is pretty low mana cost so you wouldn't need to worry about pitching a land with the augur. Also it could help you find some protection for your bigger dudes.
