Strategy
Attuma is your merfolk lord and card draw engine rolled into one. You're building a tempo-focused merfolk deck that turns your fishy friends into an evasive threat while generating card advantage with every attack. The game plan is straightforward: establish a critical mass of merfolk early, boost them with Attuma's +1/+1 lord effect, then swing out every turn to draw cards and pressure opponents. Your merfolk are typically efficient fliers and unblockable creatures, so even small attacks trigger your draw engine and gradually fill your hand with more threats.
You win through combat damage by amassing an army of evasive merfolk fueled by the card draw advantage Attuma provides. This isn't a combo deck—it's a tempo deck that curves out efficiently, attacks early and often, and uses superior card advantage to outlast opponents. Some merfolk have enter-the-battlefield effects or can tap for utility, so you're not just attacking; you're also building incremental value with your creatures. The goal is to make combat math work in your favor every turn while staying ahead on cards.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive merfolk like Harbinger of the Tides; use Waves of Aggression or Streamwinder Anurid as cheaper evasive threats, and lean on blue's efficient cantrips for draw instead of pricey card advantage spells.
