So what's the main goal of your deck? What are you most often trying to achieve when you play this deck against your opponent? IS there a specific way that you want to play it? Also what was your inspiration for this build?

[Nabantius]

Im not yet well defined of what i actually  wanted to do, i think is for now put some counters on those merfolks and hopefully make them unblockable, i just wanna go straight simple and have fun while i can though im actually not a competitive player and i sometimes times experience some events were my friends get kind of cranky or complain about certain decks, there's always one friend like that right so i began to use this kind of deck to make them feel more at ease, i think is more or less good enough at least to play with them even more when we play more on multipayer. Believe it or not i found it a good brain exercise when you're seemingly are out powered and still wrap up the game at your favor.

[Nabantius]

Of course new ideas might come in handy.

Hi mate, I've been playing this week with a similar mechanic due to all the support coming through for merfolk in RIX.
 Here's a link (https://deckstats.net/decks/100398/890188-ug-merfolk-unblockable-feed-ri/en), if you want to take a look see if it gives you any ideas ^^

edit: attached bad link

[Nabantius]

Mmmm i will be putting this deck on the working table, i know it's still need much work to be done. Even though I'll probably stop playing for a while or who knows, I'm actually moving from PR to FL.

Making some polish, probably not yet done with it.

Wouldn't you want at least two copies of Kumena, tyrant of Orazca? Also I think that it was a good idea for you to add the waker of the wilds. The lands that become unblockable creatures is a good strategy with the herald of secret streams.

[Nabantius]

I understand your point but in my point of view I'm trying to maintain a confortable mana average and at the same time have all what I probably would need but not in great numbers because they are big targets so i usually play one copy of any legendary card in my decks that's why i have many normal creatures with normal to annoying abilities so i can some how overwhelmed the opponent, doing it that way it has been working for me a very long time. 

[Nabantius]

Maybe i have cracked my friends style of play and i have been exploiting that, we are actually kind of old players, that probably it.
