The "Mono-Blue Merfolk" deck in Modern is a popular tribal deck that focuses on playing Merfolk creatures and disrupting opponents with tempo plays. The deck aims to control the board with its creatures while applying pressure through evasive attackers. **Strategy:** The strategy of Mono-Blue Merfolk revolves around playing efficient Merfolk creatures like Master of the Pearl Trident, Merfolk Trickster, Silvergill Adept, and Lord of Atlantis to build a board presence. Cards like Spreading Seas can disrupt opponent's mana base while also drawing a card. Aether Vial helps you cheat creatures into play at instant speed, giving you flexibility in your plays. The deck can also protect its creatures with counter spells like Force of Negation and Spell Pierce. **Good Points:** - Strong tribal synergy with Lord of Atlantis and Master of the Pearl Trident boosting the power of all your Merfolk creatures. - Evasive threats like Merfolk Trickster and Lord of Atlantis can quickly close out games. - Disruption elements like Spreading Seas, Spell Pierce, and Force of Negation can disrupt opponents' game plans. - Aether Vial allows for flexibility in deploying creatures and playing around opposing removal. **Bad Points:** - Vulnerable to board wipes and removal spells that can disrupt the Merfolk synergy. - Can struggle against fast aggro decks that can overpower the board before the Merfolk get going. - Limited card draw and card advantage engines, relying heavily on Silvergill Adept and the occasional Spreading Seas draw. Overall, Mono-Blue Merfolk is a fun and interactive deck that can be rewarding to pilot with its tempo-based strategy and tribal synergies. It offers a mix of disruption and aggression that can catch opponents off guard and lead to satisfying victories.
