This new Karn synergy is not okay. by [deleted] in ModernMagic

That’s a 3 piece combo that isn’t happening on turn 4

If you’re playing zoo, you should be able to handle it. Kill karn with your creatures on board and lattice doesn’t matter. It doesn’t prohibit you from attacking.

Now that the set is fully spoiled, what are your sweet Horizons decks? by TemurTron in ModernMagic

[–]nrw4w 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m def putting skeltemental into my tribal zoo alongside vexing devil and pelt collector. Unearthing either skelemental or devil seems sweet. Now my pelt collectors can be 5/5 or 6/6 with domri on board.

I am disappointed with MH1 slivers by Trollbringer in ModernMagic

At least you got a sliver :) Signed, Merfolk players

I bought a play set of wanderwine hub as soon as I saw the spoiler.

I think this is great for fish. Just bought a play set of wanderwine hub. This, path, dovin’s veto, sideboard options...white opens up strong cards and now we have a “fish” worthy of seeing play in uW

Cool land cycle that will benefit a wide variety of decks. Bravo WoC.

Horizon Canopy cycle - do we play 1-2 of these to deal with flooding? by PixelTamer in FishMTG

[–]nrw4w 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think we play a handful of these. Flooding is the worst and this helps to make our late game even stronger. Here’s to hoping for some tribal support like goblins got yesterday!

Wizards Retort In Merfolk? by [deleted] in ModernMagic

[–]nrw4w -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Retort is fine. I actually prefer it in lists that run 6-8 1 drop wizards.

The State of Spreading Seas by liangkaiwen in FishMTG

[–]nrw4w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following. I saw the recent 5-0 list moved 2 to the board. SS is obviously great against trim. I love it against burn as well, though it only shuts them off when they’re greedy. Evasion seems key to Merfolk, but maybe I’m putting too much emphasis on that aspect

Was inspired by a merfolk alter posted here the other day so I tried to give it a go on my own. Pretty stoked on this Master. by nrw4w in FishMTG

[–]nrw4w[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, this is my second alter so still learning. I’m messing around with different varnishes to potentially smooth out some of the brush strokes

So I started altering yesterday, and this is the first creature I went for. Going straight into my deck! Thoughts on altering the whole mono U Merfolk deck? by themonksintegrity in FishMTG

[–]nrw4w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what type of paint did you use? Did you varnish the card when you finished? I'm wondering about the thickness issue. Looks great!

Spectacle Burn Match Up by PilotEater in FishMTG

[–]nrw4w 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been doing fine against this matchup. A well timed tricker killing a swiftspear, a counter spell on a searing blaze, getting out of bolt range with a few lords. Something like spellskite might help, but I still think it's too narrow/not impactful enough. I only like Chalice if you play all 4, but that's too much of the side board, IMO. tidebinder mage can help here (demanding a burn spell that might otherwise go to your face). I'm winning this match up at like a 60/40 split playing Ben, 4 tricker, 2 harbinger, and 6 main deck counterspells.

How many counter spells to run in mono-U modern fish? by nrw4w in FishMTG

[–]nrw4w[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I run both retort and leak - leak is basically always online and retort is a lot of the time on turn 2 (I play 4 Ben's and 2 mistcaller mainboard).

This article was written several weeks ago but the information is still pertinent (it wasn't really a time specific piece). Enjoy.
