What is the counter of choice currently at the moment for Merfolk?
Looking to get a deck going for my partner since she likes the "consitency" merfolk offers over her goblins deck.
From what I have seen it appears FoN is the flavour of month, but I see this deck from the Esper Control side of things and think a combo of vapor snag and something similar to spell pierce might provide her a broader toolbox. Aether Vial is something we are looking into also, the price is something stopping her getting that.

There is always a greater power
I think that ultimatly would be up to you/your meta. I run 4 vapor, 2x FoN and som utility creatures/flex and more specific Counter Spells in the SB.MashedPotato wrote: ↑4 years agoWhat is the counter of choice currently at the moment for Merfolk?

Better than Vialing a Phantasmal Image on an evoked Mulldrifter.
