The idea of this deck is to have the reef shaman, lord of atlantis, the coat of arms, and as many mefolk as you can out (use the sea hunter to do so). you tap the reef shaman and make one of your opponents lands and island, now if you have the lord of atlantis out, all of your merfolk have island walk, and with the coat of arms out your merfolk will get a great amount more attacking and defending power, and the best thing about it is, they are unblockable because of the island walk. I have won a lot of matches with this deck.
