Merfol with a green splash, cause collected company is that good

This is devious. I like it. How's it do in modern ?

Just finished building/proxy in last night, hoping to get in playtesting this week!! I'll post up results as they come
Any suggestions? Especially sb
Nasty decks i know from last time i sat in in modern are: affinity (usually a mass bounce/destroy artifacts spell handles them. I think hurkylls recall is the name of one or something like that), splinter twin (this one hates strong removal. The dismembers you have can kill spellskite but I'd recommend looking for additional spells to slow them down since with twin the best thing you can do is stall them out looking for another twin), abzan midrange (merfolk can usually race them pretty well from what I've seen), scapeshift (hate this deck but it's good. Here you want some counterspells for the shift. I've only ever seen this deck not played it so I don't have much t o offer) ad nauseum (uncommon but not too hard to kill. Just counter the ad naudeum and the deck is awful. Cheap counters aim for the mana rocks or ad nauseam but be ready for a playset of remand they almost always have). Black discard is just something you'll have to race I guess. I know in a lot of cases cards like krosan grip are good to keep in the sideboard for a lot of matchups. Best of luck. Sorry I cant help too much on the sideboard. Havent exactly been competitive in a while.
Well thanks for this breakdown! Much appreciated
It reminds me of a legacy deck I once made called "dirtfish"I used summoner's trap and inkwell leviathan alongside with gaea's craddle and show and tell.Later I started using kederekt leviathan with great results.I can recommend phyrexian metamorph which may either copy a lord, or a silvergill adept (I notice you don't use gills) or even a selkie.The metamorph allows you to get a lot of card advantage if you have enough draw-creatures.
Sivergill is a great suggestion, thanks!!
I also used judge's familiar to complement cursecatcher...
@ wickeddarkman, do you still have the list? And if so...do you feel like sharing?
Just traded for every card but 1 misty and 3 mutavault. Almost there! Proxies for now
Congrats!! You must have one helluva trade binder...more power to ya. :) I really am looking forward to seeing what this deck does...it's a significantly different take on fish.
yes im really trying to turn it into a sort of agro-combo. imagine going to combat on turn 6 with a lord, a curse catcher, and a mutavault, then before damage casting collected company and hitting two lords to push through 13 damage.
as for the binder, I take apart modern, legacy, and standard decks as a rotate what I play. the only decks that stay assembled is modern burn and legacy storm/doomsday
I used to disassemble decks, not for purposes of rotation (I've never played Standard), but just because variety. I've got to the point now where my decks are never disassembled, & just tweaked from time to time, depending on what new shows up, or ideas I get from looking at other peoples' decks (that's one of the things I love about sites like this...you basically get to pick a lot of peoples' brains). Long story short, I really just enjoy seeing well made decks, regardless of format, cost, etc. etc. etc. Even if a deck is one I'd never play myself (for whatever reason), if it's well made, I appreciate it.
Nice fish deck. I like the inclusion of CC, it's truly an amazing card. I made a similar deck, but then again there's not a lot of room to change things around to make a competitive merfolk deck.That being said, I do have one question: What does the DHA tag stand for? I've been seeing it lately and have no idea what it is.
Nice take on modern merfolk, but why the Grafdigger's Cage in the sideboard? Won't that hurt you too with Collected Company? I'd suggest replacing them with Sea's Claim - not as good as Spreading Seas, but it's faster and will wreck Tron and Eldrazi decks - OMFG. SIX of the Top8 decks at the Pro Tour this weekend were Eldrazi. So yeah, I'd strongly suggest putting in Sea's Claim.
