His first ability is tailor-made for control decks, which makes him invaluable for control builds, including Jeskai Control. There’s a reason he’s called that “bald-headed bastard” by opponents. When he enters the battlefield, all attacks and spells seem to grind to a halt. When facing control players, the one card that you don’t want to see played is Teferi, Hero of Dominaria. Jeskai Deck Cards found in Dominaria Packs “We got no troubles, life is bubbles, under the sea!” The uncommon lord, Merfolk Mistbinder, also makes it an easy build for beginners. The built-in sleep and tap abilities of merfolk creatures make it an ideal build for tempo decks. Merfolk decks are among the most effective tribal decks. Most of the best merfolk creatures are from the Rivals of Ixalan expansion. Merfolk Deck Cards found in Rivals of Ixalan PacksĪlthough the Merfolk deck is only a tier 2 deck in the current meta, it can still stand toe -to -toe with tier 1’s if you have the complete build.

In the late game, you have access to both Vraska planewalkers to fully take control of the match. They can hammer you with early Ixalan creatures that grow through explore, or ramp up to large creatures to trample over defenses in the midgame.

But it also features most of the essential set spells to set up the spell- based creatures. The expansion features two of the staple creatures of UR builds, the drakes.
