This is a thread for posting your Merfolk and blue weenie aggro decks. The center theme around this deck is consistently reaching devotion by turn 4 for Thassa, outaggroing your opponent, and using defensive maneuvers such as Triton Tactics to shut out opposing aggro decks.
Thoughts on cards: Syncopate - Good to stop board sweepers such as anger of the gods. Has relevant abilities but could be replaced with negate or another counter. Fate Foretold - This is basically the decks think twice that triggers heroic on artisan and increases devotion. Can get two for one, so use wisely. Claustrophobia - Basically your go to removal. Could be increased to 4. Helps devotion. Tidebinder Mage - Great against the aggro mirror and devotion. One of the best cards in the deck Mutavault - Clearly a huge land that makes a big difference. Gets bonus from master of waves Triton Tactics - Saves your creatures vs burn and can blowout games vs opposing aggro decks.
Potential Issues - Control Decks running non-red based removal. Detention Sphere, Supreme Verdict, and Doom Blade esq cards can slow us down. Supreme can't be countered, which means it will be a tough matchup. The above sample deck is high on spells and sorceries, and could be adjusted with more creature count.
archaeomancer would help the devotion and your ability to get some spells back. Also door of destines could be awesome for 'wizards'. I feel like the specters and the weirds don't fir very well, and would rather have omen speaker in there.
Seems better to just drop the merfolk gimmick and just focus on mono U aggro. I mean Tidebinder is really good if it actually hits something, but if the ability isn't relevant then it's just a bear. I'd go for this as a core:
4 Cloudfin Raptor
4 Judge's Familar
4 Thassa, God of the Sea
4 Nightveil Specter
4 Claustrophobia
4 Counterspells
