A History of Merfolk 

Thank you to Wizards of the Coast for sponsoring this video! Check out my link to learn more about the latest set for Magic: The Gathering: bit.ly/BAPXLCI #mtgambassador #mtglci

Played a Modern Merfolk mirror at FNM, my opponent played Lord of Atlantis and passed the turn. They very quickly learned what "all other Merfolk gain islandwalk" meant.

The Professor would be happy for this

Me: Buys a precon to upgrade. Literally the second I open the box *history of merfolk* Me: :D ! Thanks for the upload!!

The Professor will be greatly pleased

Can't wait for History of Capybaras video, hopefully in about some 20 years we'll have enough cards to talk about

HEY RU-vid ALGORITHM, OVER HERE 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I have a merfolk deck that is mostly Lorwyn with some older cards mixed in (including Seasinger and the unmentioned Vodalian Mage) and it is by far my favorite deck to play even after all these years.

Wet elves

Really enjoyed this type of video. I bet ANGELS would make for a fun and in depth video topic

Another pretty interesting addition to the tribe came with Theros Beyond Death. "Dalakos, Crafter of Wonders" didn't make much of a splash in standard, but it's such an odd and fun build around for commander

Always happy to see story time come back! Looking forward to the next video as always :)

So Emry is basically Ariel with her trinkets? I love it

I say we petition to make 1993 the new year 0. We'd now be in year 30 P.A. (Post Alpha)

Here early and once again here to chuck a comment down for the youtube algorithm. Keep up the great content Ryan!👍

Does mentioning merfolk summon the Professor?

THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR

Thrasios, Triton Hero draw or ramp I'm all in for that

Amazing!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 thanks so much Ryan! One curiosity in Italy we call merfolks "Tuna" 😂 alwais crack me up!

Hell yess🎉🎉🎉🎉 been waiting for this 🥲 *grabs popcorn 🍿 *

No mention of the terror of commander from commander legends, hullbreacher?

Jade Bearer. I know it's not the best card but the art is sublime and I love that it's green onedrop that can buff a friend. I have the art of it tattooed and hanging on my wall.

Killing it in that library, blue fans came come out of hiding and rejoice at the fish men.

Machado de Assis In green screen is nice!!!

You forgot about my favorite merfolk Orvar the all form!

I remember the moment that my friend learned the war barge/merfolk assassin combo.

Feesh Man!

Hah, for once I was first (among creators I actually know of) on a lore topic by... 17 months? Dang, I really should get in some work on the next one over the holidays. Though I guess this one is more about the actual cards then exploring the worldbuilding. Got me a stack of monoblue merfolk waiting to be put together into a commander deck. lol

Talrand, Sky Summoner.👌

I hope The Tolarian Community College Professor watched this!

Kiora losing her spark is one of the ones I hate the most.

I run Jori En, Ruin Diver as my Izzet commander due to her low cost and utility ability.

Gaea's Skyfolk

Yay :)

Ixalan BEST PLANE! ❤ I'll take merfolk (I gueeeesssssss) in order to also have big ol stompy dinos!

Comment for the algorithm gods 🙏🏻

Figured out a way that can show how merfolk can block land based attackers. Say you have a merfolk and you opponent's landlocked creature is attacking, your merfolk blocks the attack by with a flick of the wrist raises a wall of water to halt the land restricted creature's attack because it can't get past the violent torrent of water wall to continue it's full frontal assault. The enemy creature can only seethe with anger and frustration while pacing back and forth trying to find a way around this air tight defense tactic. What do all of you think? Any good? Sound logic? Interesting scenario?

What about Ambassador Laquatus? 😅

5:15 For those reading, please note that the tribal card type has been renamed to the kindred card type.

Jori en... Not in your list :(

Seems fishy to me.
