I think Copter's a fine card, and it's pretty handy if you're expecting sweepers but no artifact removal, or fliers but little removal at all. I don't think I need it because I prefer the consistency provided by maxing out on Merfolk, and I think Kira is excellently positioned, so I wouldn't cut her either. There are meta contexts in which the Copter would probably out-do Kira in my mind (probably ones in which I need to use its loot ability to dig for relevant interaction and/or I expect little spot removal), but we're not currently in one.
Whats your plain against Hatebears? Kira was so poor in that match, lots of angels 3/3 and 3/4 flying around hitting....maybe my hands was bad ones, but I was smashed against a friend 3-0
Reide Duke made a post on channelfireball talking about Modern meta and decks to keep an eye. He didnt mention Merfolk at all, and a few people complained about it. After it, this guys posted the commentary bellow
I've had success with Tidebinder Mage in the past, to the point where I was actually winning more than 50% of the time. Others have run Gut Shot. Hibernation has always felt massively clunky to me.
Rot, my list is the same you are using. What you think that would be the best Sideboards in a LGS with: Afinnity, Elves, Counters Company, E-Tron, Lantern Control e a few UWx Controls ? Something that can cover almost all of them
Im not talking about Kira with Phimage, but with any other...opponent needs to spend 2 removals, the new merfolk will delay them early game, but mid/late game they will have the enough mana to remove our guy with a single spell
Started very very happy with 2-0 at LGS, beating Grixis DS and Jeskai Control. And the last 2 round was LOSS to LANTERN and a silly mono red control (blood moon, chalices, angers. everything). Im so pissed 2-2 =(
Has anyone ran into Choke at all? I'm still debating whether picking up Oboro and Minamo are worth it or not.
Choke isnt the reason at all we run Oboro and Minamo. Nikachu would give you a D- if he listen to that =)) Joking
1)Both are not islands and do not give islandwalk in mirror
2)Oboro effect is great against discards and give you UU if u have only it and mutavault on play
3)Minamo can be played togheter with your Vendilion Clique and/or break Kira's enemy shield if tapped

Whats your opinion about it ?

Or by protecting you mean Phimage is a merfolk inside battlefield and opponent HAVE to pay more to target it, because hes not an ilusion anymore?!
