Surprise from the Sewers

Merfolk of the Depths gives you a late game surprise that fits Ravnica's undercity politics. The card's Flash lets you present an unexpected blocker or pressure a tapped-out opponent without committing your turn. As a 4 by 2 body, it trades well with smaller attackers and forces opponents to answer it quickly or concede tempo.

Play this Merfolk when you need to change combat math or protect a planeswalker. The creature's lore nods to ancient oceans revealed by sinkholes across the city which suits blue control and tempo decks that prize timing and repetition. Merfolk of the Depths is straightforward to slot into lists that want instant speed interaction and a sizable presence on the board.
