Great vid, Nikachu. I love the way you're highlighting the cards on the right. Also, did you always do that? I honestly don't remember

I just started doing it because I don't have a chat so I might as well try to highlight the cards.

Now that MH3 is out I can't wait to tell people "Merfolk" when they ask me what deck I play in any format.

I’ve been playing merfolk is OS, Vintage, Revised 40, Legacy, Modern and now it’s good to have a decent deck in Pioneer

The problem I find with Mistcaller is that it gets bad Phoenix players and exiles them, so it makes you think it’s good. But in reality the effect is on board so people just play round it, same with Sorin. Chord and Coco is all it really hits.

Sometimes forcing them to play around it is all you need. You have a clock. You're the proactive aggro deck. Any opportunity you have to slow them down is significant

18:04 Noooooo! Why did you give up here. Your opponent screwed up and started an infinite loop since Amalias power was above 20 she would not destroy the board resulting in infinite triggers and ending the game in a draw

Because I didn’t know it was infinite. Another comment also mentioned this. I learned a valuable lesson in this comment section today.

@nikachuplaysmtg I have the arena qualifier to play, I qued through limited and am not up to date on pioneer/Explorer. If I played this merfolk deck, would there be anything you'd change about the challenge winning list? And what's your opinion on the decks matchups vs Phoenix, Mono Red/RG prowess, Amalia, RB Vampires and UW control? I suspect those to be the most played decks.

I'm optimistic it could be better if I have a better plan vs it. Red/RG Prowess: Terrible Amalia: Even Vampires: Great UW Control: Great

None for the time being. Pick your poison is too hit or miss vs the decks you’ll side it in against.

Mist-Cloaked Herald is a good call, given the no Islandwalk lords it having evaision is actually relevant. I'm less sure on Spelunker, there's a chance it could be Mistcaller. I'm sure you already know this and will nail the list with more testing.
