Fish
A tempo deck that uses small and cheap creatures and “manlands” to beat you while your spells are taken care of by the disruption caused by Daze, Force of Will, Misdirection, Stifle, Null Rod, Strip Mine, Wasteland and others.
Fish also has a drawing motor in place thanks to Standstill and sometimes Curiosity, to try to get ahead of the most powerful decks.
There are several variants of the deck, including:
- Mono Blue Fish: the original Fish deck makes the most out of the synergy between Lord of Atlantis and other Merfolk while also having a definitely more stable mana base.
- UR Fish: Combine Fish with some of the stronger cards of Sligh, such as Grim Lavamancer and Lightning Bolt plus the Blue/Red double card Fire/Ice.
- WU Fish: The White/Blue version of Fish mainly incorporates one of the strongest creatures of the format: Meddling Mage together with Sword to Plowshares and other white disruption spells, like Balance and Disenchant.
