Haha did we just catch Paul Cheon say "it doesn't matter how good you are" referring to type one deck-players? :D

[meanberry]

I got my ass kicked by a merfolk list when i was playing dreadstill so i woud't be so sure "it's not even a deck"

[MichaelHall1989]

@abaddon1919 No, we watched him say, "I don't care how good you are..." There is a big difference.

fucking Counterbalance & Sensei's Divining Top combo ... i hate it

[maxzakh]

why is the sound so low in all the videos?!

[tedbratton]

merfolk is a heck of a deck now...

[Kryptnyt]

I think echoing truth is for tokens, most notably myr incubator? Incubator seems pretty strong in Workshop...

[billysuperninja]

this man fails

[djgiga]

@meanberry Its a top tier deck.

[tomathan88]

merflok is not a deck... merfolk is, however.

[StoutNerd]

my deck is pretty similar but i use 2 stifle, 4 vision charm instead of 4 stifle, 2 trickbind and instead of adding the counterbalance combo i added white so i could add swords to plowshares and orim's chant

[TrollAndStuff]

MERFLOK NOT A DECK??? As long as there is AEther vial there will be merfolk!
