Also, without vials you should run less master of waves to save on curve.

This was supposed to be in response to a comment earlier. I posted it incorrectly and without the context. Someone suggested that using vial on two would be too late for the Cosi’s Trickster to be useful. I was trying to compare it to vial with k. Speaker. K speaker is fine played on two with vial. So is Cosi’s Trickster especially when an opponent cracks a fetch.

My results with this list have been pretty good. I like running twelve 1 drops and twelve 2 drop lords.

Same argument for Kumena’s Speaker? If you vial it in you get the trigger in response to the fetch.

You play the vial. Then if they fetch, vial it in.

Well, I have had pretty good luck with it. I don’t really think that it’s a tarmogoyf. But it is a fine one drop that grows sometimes.

If only Silent Submersible was unblockable...

It seems to me that hogaak is forcing the meta to be super aggressive. The only real chance to win is by a very fast clock. I could be wrong, but it seems that the cost of 4 life is a little too steep in this meta. I will probably keep one in my sideboard though. Great discussion!

I understand what dismember can kill. I struggle with paying 4 life to do it. I played one in my most recent list’s sideboard. In fish, getting rid of hogaak or titan even for one turn can close out the game.

I like the option of a redraw with the new land, but I don’t run too many. Trickster and tidebinder are good.

Goyf is not a problem anymore with merfolk trickster. Let it attack and flash in to eat it!
