In this video I will teach you everything I know about playing some wet elves. Merfolk is one of my favorite creature type and has really been turned around since Ixalan. I am really happy where Merfolk are at in commander, hey ramp, draw cards, and can really deal some damage with the right set up!
Merfolk don't look impressive at first as they are small but they are mana efficient AND are all about growing as the game moves on to start punching with damage late and getting out serious value early!

I hope you enjoy the new video.

-Your friendly blue mage, Azoreign.

With regard to "Merfolk Commerce", while this counts as a Merfolk, it does not trigger Hakbal since Hakbal looks for a "merfolk CREATURE".

I can't love this video enough. Super informative, and I love the extensive research you did on the Merfolk Tribal. The video, layout, and your voice tone all flow well to how your video is portrayed. You have great point-of-views, and I love how you take the time to explain the cards without the video jumping around and getting too cluttered. You have everything well organized and very easy to follow. Lastly, thank you for making mention of honorary cards that splash in the decks one wants to build and this tribal format. Keep up the amazing work!!! You planing on doing any more tribals?

I now this is an old video, but thank you for this! I just started playing magic and Explorers of the Deep precon was my first deck. I have since started to upgrade it. The Ozolith card is sick!

[marshalljohnston]

Thank you for reminding me about the secret lair!!!! Just pick Kumena up for that sweet sweet bling

[lannym.]

I believe you may have misread "Deeproot Pilgrimage". In the video, you said that you could use Kumena's third ability to tap 5 merfolk, make 5 tokens, then use those 5 tokens to make more counters. However, Deeproot Pilgrimage says "one or more" meaning that you'd only get 1 token when paying Kumena's "tap 5" ability. Also, you can only tap "nontoken" creatures with Deeproot Pilgrimage, so any tokens created with Deeproot Pilgrimage can't trigger Deeproot Pilgrimage again.

Hakbal is absolutely nuts. That being said, my playgroup hates him more than someone elses slivers lol

[liamfrench]

Dmir merfolk is criminally underrated. Makes me want to make my own video about my Sygg River Cutthroat evasion/card draw aggro merfolk deck.

[miguelmejia]

I run a merfolk deck with sygg as my commander and it's rare that I ever take a loss when I play him with him.

[jassemsleiman]

I first played Merfolk in Modern during 2017. I have recently converted the same deck to Legacy. With that, I had previously made a Merfolk Commander deck with Kumena at the helm. Though once Hakbal came out I sorted felt like I should switch, to keep up. Kumena gives a lot of combo potential. But the pieces are hard to tutor for. As great as this video is, it's a bit late in my life as I have just torn down the deck.

I am keeping my Kumena Secret Lair.

[jeremiahperdue]

I play kumena like a control deck with seedborn muse to draw a butt load of cards, thrasios in the 99 works as a backup commander too which is always nice

[jessewills]

My first commander deck was kumena, but i was too fresh to the format.
I'm looking at rebulding it, I always struggled to make it get over the finish line.
After watching this video I feel more confident in making a decent strength Kumena deck.
Kinda want to throw statsis in it...

[toataile]

It's Emperor Mihail the Second. I play Kumena as my commander because personally I think he's the strongest merfolk commander, even including Hakbal. Going wide with hexproof tokens and holding up the ability to draw cards or pump my board at instant speed is too good. Then making them unblockable because I've been pumping them? Super powerful. Pair this go wide strategy with things like Leyline of anticipation and control spells, and you're golden.

[bluemagemikey]

Yo fellow blue mage, who is also a huge merfolk fan. Great video.

[alexbjork]

Any good moxfield link to q full deck?

[Winterhert]

"Inalla is a pretty balanced one".. damn not even 1 min into the video and already spitting hot takes lmao

[runcmd]

Derevi being the best bant merfolk commander is such a sore point for me.

[cultoftyler]

I am an advocate for not putting + counters strategy in kumena decks.

[pedrohenriquecontente]

I still think Hakbal is better. It does everything the other one does, but for free.

[Proto]

Dude is just reading an AI script... You are still human, , , , Think.

[hypergridtech]

I wanted to watch this video but the edm background music is absurdly high energy and distracts from your speech... I just couldn't do it.
