Interesting point of view. I don't generally approve of people calling someone's intelligent thoughts crap, but I understand why you're upset. I am not however trolling, just presenting an alternative point of view, which allows anybody interested in Tribal Synergy decks the opportunity to explore Merfolk decks, as oppose to sliver decks, to see which they prefer. I think some people might benefit from this.
Merfolk has better tempo, more reliable combos, better/more efficient counters, and hits harder faster. Sliver decks are more inconsistent and easier to control by nature. Sure slivers are more diverse, but only with the right sides and some lucky draws can you even utilize their diversity. Even then, though, they are not as tempo efficient as merfolks. Countersliver is best sliver Deck, but merfolk has built in counter dynamics. Also, diverse decks don't win tough games. You have to take a risk in the end.
This is My Affinity Deck, I could replace something with frogmites, but I kind of like everything the way it is right now. All these 0 drops + soulgourger/ravager/plating, glaring for an unstoppable swing, winter orb for freezing mana and a couple nifty counters in side deck. My favorite is grindstone for an instant win against any mono.

Hello fellow MTG lovers. I have recently become obsessed with Legacy Aggro Deck building and I was wondering if anybody either had any contributing ideas to offer on how to improve my current setup or on different styles of decks that might be more effective. I manage to consistently kill turns 1-3 with this Deck. Usually turn 2.
