Ride the Tidal Command
Master of the Pearl Trident is a compact commander for anyone building a Merfolk deck that wants to turn incremental buffs into consistent pressure. The two blue mana cost makes it easy to cast early and start turning your board into evasive attackers. Its presence turns each additional Merfolk into a threat that can slip past blockers when the opponent cannot meet islandwalk with an answer.
In practice this card rewards tight sequencing and slotting in creatures that benefit from a leader that both grows your team and grants a reliable attack angle. There is a small lore beat here. The master claims the coastline as a new domain and expects the rest to follow. For pilots who prefer synergy over spectacle this is an efficient, set defining finisher for a tribal plan.
