Esper Merfolk has always been a cool idea to me: having two supporting colors with sick removal, supporting blue aggro, seems fun. Up until recently, I've been building it with Merieke Ri Berit at the helm, but I heard the idea somewhere for using both versions of Sygg, Sygg, River Guide and Sygg, River Cutthroat, and at the beginning of the game flipping a coin to see which would be active that game. I like that very much better in respect for flavor. Anyway, here's my list! It's very aggro-oriented, plenty of swords and islandwalk. I'd really like some suggestions on what to improve. I'm not going to put big money into it, like Mana Crypt or Imperial Seal, but I'm always looking to improve how smoothly the deck operates. Thanks in advance, and I hope you like it!
