Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck uses merfolk as a toolbox. \nI used merfolk with useful tap abilities to build up the board. \nThe weird part is the 13th Dr. \nThey help with giving +1/+1 counters and untapping cards with counters on them. The useful part of that is any kind of counter helps. \nThis way the deck lets you keep blockers up. \n\nThe wincon of the deck focuses on getting useful tap and untap abilities on the board and taking advantage of them. \nWhile using built up counters and untapping mechanics to power up creatures like wake thrasher to deal some nasty hits. \nHerald of secret streams also gives the deck clear attack paths to eventually over run opponents. \n\nOther useful cards in the deck are deeproot historian. Making the graveyard a usable resource.\n\nA useful combo in the deck is\n\nForensic Researcher + Kiora's Follower + mana-producing permanent\n\nKioras follower taps to untap another permanent \nForensic researcher taps to untap another permanent \nThen with the right mana producing permanent these 2 can be untapped repeatedly and generate plenty of mana. \n\n\n"}]}
