This build has performed very well for the past couple months, and most of my losses were due to play mistakes on my part and a lack of meta research when traveling.
I leave it to you whether you add my list to your Dark Times post.

I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.
I haven't played this in a sanctioned tournament environment (mostly because my area doesn't do Vintage) but I've played this a ton against powered Vintage/Legacy decks. It has as solid a mana base as you're going to see in Vintage and it performs very well against the whole field, having G1 answers against almost everything.

How do you think this Merfolk deck would do in vintage today? I tried Landstill recently, and it just didn't do much. I either couldn't draw anything to help or just never had a counter when I needed it.
I am Undefeated with this DeckList! Pretty solid !
I just recently played this list in a tournament and my only loss in Swiss was to Stax, the only changes I made were cutting Goyf (which I wasn't a fan of, as he usually wasn't that much of a game changer) and one pride mage to play 3 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben and 2 Porcelain Legionnaire instead. I'd probably cut one of the Thalia's to go back up to the full set of pridemages, and I felt like Spell Pierce wasn't too strong while I was playing with it. I'd probably cut one for a Mental Misstep instead. I'm fan of your list though and piloted it to a decent finish at a local tournament
