First Bass posted:Finally won a Modern tournament, even if the turnout was only 18 peeps. Beat out over R/G aggro, Burn, Ad Nauseam and Junk in that order as Merfolk Isn't the point of Merfolk to cast Spreading Seas on an opponent so that all your Merfolk can't be blocked? Even so I'm down with Modern tribal, my first Modern deck was a Goblins deck that I still have and I spent an afternoon last weekend thinking up a Sliver deck for Modern that kind of gave me Merfolk vibes.

Generally when you play Merfolk you will side out the seas if by any chance your opponent is also playing islands because you don't need to meet that condition. But then you have poo poo like Jeskai Control which isn't about that all Islands life so you Seas their Steam Vents and Hallowed Fountains and make them sad. On that mention I also 3-0'd my local modern tournament as Merfolk, nobody was expecting to see fish and so I won all my games handily. It feels really good to Vapor Snag an Inkmoth Nexus that's been pumped by Pendelhaven and Groundswell for 5 lethal poison and watch them scoop. Really, really does.

Usually Spreading Seas is a sideboard option because lots of decks run blue anyways, or if they don't you hope to get a bigger field out faster (which Seas doesn't necessarily help with). I prefer it and it tends to work better mainboard in my meta, but many people see fit to keep it sideboard.

Yeah it might be nostalgia for a ridiculous card talking (you have no idea how godly sharpshooter is if you never played it in limited) but the OG wooden gatling gun is a less monkeycheese bit of humor. The new one is good though, just not as good.

There's one group of goblins that's the scrappy, inventive underdogs, and then there are the goblins that are silly comic relief. I like the scrappy kind better, and they're still very funny sometimes. Of course, my favourite goblin flavourwise is a bit of both:

It makes sense, though, because the red one is this force of nature that exists independent of the dragons, and the blue one is just this tiny salamander that evades the attention of any of the dragons. The others serve the dragon broods to some extent.

Nobody plays the deck anymore because there hasn't been a good Goblin printed for it in 5 years. Elves got a format defining 1/2 that ramps packaged with some of the best graveyard hate ever printed. Merfolk got a format defining 3/1 that literally can't be killed by 90% of played removal in Legacy. Goblins got a gray ogre that farts out 1/1s and makes all your other dudes kill themselves. Hmm

Have they explained the flavor of megamorph? I mean, in this block, morph is supposed to represent draconic "conealment magic", so is megamorph just that plus an extra bonus because they got the magic directly from the dragons?

Its morph, but different because time travel. No, that's basically the flavor justification and design goal.

It's a cycle in the sense that it's 5 uncommon megamorph dudes, one in each color, but the similarities basically end there. They're all costed differently, behave differently when played, and so forth.

They're all costed differently, behave differently when played, and so forth. Right, it's a cycle centered around having a common mechanic. It's purely mechanical. Watermarks, on the other hand, have no mechanical implications. They're pure flavor. Mechanical cycles do not have to be flavor cycles, and vice versa, though we often get cycles that function as both (e.g. the dragonlords).
