I'm leaning towards the merfolk here. It's not as much for the combo, but more for the repeatable ability.
Personally, I haven't been too impressed with the Riftwatcher, barring rebel searchers/Whitemane Lions. A great sideboard card against aggressive decks, no doubt, but it really doesn't do enough in our deck to really consider it for main deck consideration.
It's pretty close, and I wouldn't be very upset if we end up taking the Bird here, but I'm picking the merfolk.

Yes, the riftwatcher should definitley be the pick, barring silly combos.
