So tropical fish looks super interesting to me but is it worth buying into/piloting if my LGS meta has two or three people who run mainboard Blood Moon? Tried running my Eldrazi and Taxes and got completely hosed against the Blue Moon player. D:
Current Modern Decks W Death & Taxes // "Tax evasion? You wish." WB Eldrazi & Taxes // "This is the Eldrazi Revenue Service, we have you surrounded!" U Merfolk // "Sushi." B Obliterator Devotion "You're one ugly mofo!"
Former Modern Decks WB BW Tokens // "Bros and bros and ghost bros." BUR Elemental Combo // "What just happened?" WBURG CoCo Slivers // "I'm in love with the CoCo."
So I had waaaaay too much trouble trying to decide on a preliminary Merfolk list, but if people have time, I'd love some opinions/advice/constructive critique. My LGS meta is primarily control with some graveyard & aggro decks. To rattle things off the top of my head, there are two Bridgevine players, a Blue Moon, Jeskai Control, two KCI, 5C Humans, and a monoblack Devotion deck.

I'm currently a bit down on Harbinger - lots of decks have creatures with good enters-the-battlefield effects (and control is ascendant), so a creature bounce isn't quite what it was in previous metagames. You also have too few lands to reliably curve out, even with Copter (which I've never been a fan of in Modern).
The first thing that comes to mind for me is that in that meta, Mistcaller seems like a better 1-drop than Cursecatcher. The 'Catcher would mostly just help in the Blue Moon and Jeskai matchups which aren't bad to begin with, and the 'Caller would make Bridgevine *loads* easier. I would also say your sideboard is ill-prepared for KCI. They can get around Relic and Surgical since the recursion is literally faster than instant speed and repeatable, and Dispel and Cage are useless, leaving you with just Negate, E-Truth, and Remand, the latter two of which only buy you a turn at best. Some other options off the top of my head are Ceremonious Rejection, Deprive, and Phyrexian Revoker. Finally, I don't think a mono-blue player should ever leave the house without 4 Mutavault sleeved up.

Should I remove my 2 Harbingers and add more lands to hit 20? As for Coptor, I was debating between it and Vapor Snag.

I have a full set of 'Vault, just wasn't sure if I should add the full set considering the Blue Moon and Ponza players. Sideboard actually gave me a massive headache tbh. I have both Rejection and Hurkyl's Recall. I'd have to grab some Mistcallers, Deprive, and Revokers off TCG Player. Should I just cut Dispel and Cage and use some other cards? I have some Damping Spheres, Ratchet Bombs, and 2 Chalice of the Void.
Thanks for all the help btw, really appreciate it!

My LGS meta has no decks with land destruction besides my Death & Taxes and the RG Ponza player; what it does have are a ton of control decks. Not to mention unless someone else is playing Death & Taxes (I'm the only D&T player at my LGS), all the lands that'd blow up Cavern would still let me fetch for a basic except for Tectonic Edge. If you have any other suggestions for replacing Deprive I'd love to hear em. Sideboard's been the biggest headache for me so far.

I'd put spell pierce MB instead of serum visions so you can have room for gut shot which i recommend to play to shut down manadorks, infect creature, affinity robots and others, and you can trim dismember from the MB going up to 4master of waves that it's the most powerful card in the deck, i think.
or instead of the last 3 cards i'd run 3tectonic edge because you said that there are a lot of control decks.
Sweet, thanks. I only have 2 Masters right now, but what're your thoughts on using Chalice of the Void as a sideboard card?

Sheesh...I go away for a day and the thread explodes again. No specific suggestions, just a few comments:
In a control-heavy meta, Deprive blows away every other counter out there. You're not likely to be racing against most other decks, so the double-blue cost isn't so bad, although you'd need to adjust your mana base to be more friendly to it. Also, Master and Phantasmal Image is a sick, sick combo you might want to look at.
In that meta, Chalice could work in SB, although a lot depends on the particular builds your opponents use. You're really only inconveniencing KCI on 0 or (better) 1, and 2 is a long way away. It's strong on 1 against Bridgevine and messes with the card draw and perhaps disruption of Blue Moon on 1. 5C Humans doesn't like it on 2, but it might already be rolling by the time you get enough mana to cast it. And against Jeskai you're mostly messing with Path and Lightning Bolt.

Haha well I just got back into MTG so I've been pretty hyped about it, sorry for the notifications lmao.
I do have a full set of Images so I'll def look into that. I'm guessing I should just run 2?
As for Deprive, how should I fix my mana? I only have 12 islands right now which seems a little rough to me, but I'm not sure what to cut down on to make space. :/

On both issues, I could refer you to Nikachu's deck lists over the last month or two. I'm not sure if he has any listings set up other than in MTGO in his Youtube videos, but if there are any they're probably on theManaBase, one of his sponsors. His decks vary between 2 and 4 PI's; he's been trying a number of experiments recently, including with Peek and Mistcaller. He's becoming a bit disaffected with Mutavault, too, looking more to Tectonic Edge.
Generally, since a lot of those decks rely on after-the-fact disruption, you don't need so many Caverns. (I wish I owned even one, but I'm not paying $80 for it.) You could sub in islands for a couple of them, or consider Minamo and Oboro. 14-16 blue sources seems to be the sweet spot.

Good to know! And I got stupid lucky with my Caverns, got a full set when Avacyn Restored first came out because I've always been a huge fan of tribal decks. I come back after two years and the price for one's jumped up to $80. D:
As for Mutavault, am debating between that and Tec Edge tbh. I'd get Oboro except money. :/
Here's my latest list for Friday, provided my Mistcallers arrive by then (please don't get delayed USPS, also I feel dumb for forgetting to get a set of Peek).
Should I sub out Kira for 2 more Images or keep Kira considering my control heavy LGS meta?

Forgot to ask, how do people feel about Unified Will in board considering my meta? Last Friday, there were two Bridgevine players and a Humans player in addition to the usual control heavy group.

If anyone's wondering why my account's differently named now and the old one's vanished, it's because I managed to recover my pre-Curse account.

You could shave a Reej or two for more PI's. (Btw, there's another neat trick you can use with them, if a Master isn't around: creaturize your Mutavault, then copy it.) I could see Unified Will in place of Spell Pierce in the SB; I'm really not a big fan of the Pierce, especially against slower decks like control. If you do decide to cut Kira or Dismember or move them to the SB, you could add the other two Masters. I know it's clunky, but against control that shouldn't be too big a deal. And you're really going to want to leverage that combo once you see it. You can always side some out against the man-heavy decks.

Well I only have 2 Masters right now, but thanks for the input!
Here's yet another updated list; I put Kopala in the sideboard but I wasn't sure if I should just replace her with more counters or something. I also removed 2 islands, going down to 12 from 14, for 2 Wanderwine Hubs, also unsure about that, considering the Ponza & Blue Moon players maindecking their Blood Moons. I'm pretty sure the RG Ponza player might have a Choke though in board.
