Aggro in as pure as possible a form for merfolk, as far as I can tell.

Get 'em out and build 'em up...and try to keep the appropriate mana source available for the (primarily defensive) instants.

If you're here, just try to weather the blows and get in enough damage to take them out in time.

*Updated for rotation. Unfortunately, I can't and won't recommend either this deck or my other UG merfolk deck (A Fine Kettle of Fish) until at least Ravnica Allegiance. GRN took away and gave nothing back. I don't think it's competitive enough anymore.

No idea where the price estimate comes from
You chose the Unstable Islands/Forests, which adds like $35. Swap to normal basics that aren't insanely priced, and it would echo the ~$75 price.

That $75 includes the dual lands. Same exact deck as I have listed here, but $30 less. (Card Kingdom seems to have dropped significantly in price, but that was after I noticed the difference. It's now $37 less. And when was the last time you saw the Card Kingdom price for a deck below the TCGPlayer price?)

$35 of the price listed here is for your Forests and Islands. The Unstable versions are $4-$5 each because they're so coveted. If you swapped to Dominaria versions, for instance, the price listing here would drop to around $70. If you click on "Card Prices" you'll see they're actually some of the most expensive cards in your deck.

We don't have a lot of the deck "pimping" in place, but we do let you select specific versions of cards, which can throw off the price.

Whoa...missed that. My ISP can be somewhat 'slow' sometimes, and I added them before the graphics loaded. Fixed.

Time for a change in sideboard, mostly in response to a large number of decks running Azcanta.

-3 Silent Gravestone, -1 Broken Bond, +4 Sorcerous Spyglass.

The deck just doesn't have the oomph it should without Kumena, so I'm shoveling a couple of them in to replace two Mist-Cloaked Heralds. There are still plenty of 1-drops left (10 that might realistically be cast on turn 1, although 4 of them would only be on the draw).
