My favorite Merfolk doesn't have a named plane, although I would love it if they made Shandalar her home. Araumi of the Dead Tide has lore referencing her leading pirates to her home and they slaughtered a lot of them. She then awakened her necromantic powers and she drove them away. It's a great dichotomy to Talrand who was my OG favorite Merfolk. And my 1st commander budget deck that I loved building.
Heyyy sweet, new vid! And it looks like there's no ad breaks for this one! I don't know how much control you have over that, but not having ads in the middle is sooooo much better. They tend to be significantly louder. This channel is one of my favorites to listen to in my headphones when falling asleep... No loud , sudden ad breaks is a huge QOL fix!
Edit: I was wrong, it does have ad breaks :(
I love listening to these creature type stories and character stories. Learning more about the lore within this game I love is so fun. I hope more ppl start playing bc they stumbled upon your videos.
Best writer in the MTG space. Love your work, keep it up!
I just updated my Simic Merfolx deck from Tishana to Kumena, and I'm so happy to see all the depth and diversity within such an underappreciated tribe. Thank you!
Absolutely love your videos! So much depth and quality packed into a nice concise package.
Would love to see a video diving into the lore and history of the many Rats in Magic the Gathering.
Love the background ocean sounds, really brings the video together. Would love to see it more in future videos 😄
So in love with your videos! ❤ keep up the good work!!!
I'm not gonna lie, I've been looking back on all of these videos you've made on these studies of different creature types. Something that would be cool to see would be a study in the color pie theory as a whole. And I mean as a whole like the normal colors, colorless, color combinations and phyrexian colors (yes they are different than the normal colors) either way if you do or don't, I'm still going to watch what you make. You're a fantastic story teller taking from the cards and the stories which creates a more concrete and definitive study. Keep up the fantastic work
I really enjoyed this video. Lore videos that devle into the histories of races is always amazing/ facinating. MTG has such a vast multiverse to get a good chunk of it here, is a wonderful taste of the blind enternities. I hope to see more race videos going forward.
This was a great video. Merfolk is my favorite race besides the big baddies.
I really appreciate how much work goes in to these videos!
This was awesome!
I am very happy to have found this channel!
Welcome!
I wish they would explore stories about the everyday mundane things and the adventures of everyday beings across the multiverse more. They seem so much more interesting than the stories about the Planeswalkers.
Looking forward to a future study of kitties
Despite being home to the only merfolk planeswalker, I never really think of merfolk being a race on Zendikar... It's a very vertical plane, you don't really think downwards. I'd imagine the Roil is even worse underwater, with sharp waterways and whirlpools and things like that Although now they're slowly going extinct after the eldrazi attack could make for an interesting story....
Also I agree with the other guy saying they're very elf-life.
I've been looking forward to this one for a while and I love it, but...
How could you forget to mention the Saprazzans?
Man I'm excited to get more merfolks this year for our return to Ixalan.
I love you intro! Some feedback though, slow down the intro narrative and it would give it that final edge :)
Did not know Merfolk were this deep.
So I've been completely enamored with the way you story-tell and explain the world's and everything in between, I've been trying to write a d&d camping in MTG and the best multiverse they have and the single-player I have is a merfolk.
Idk if you'll see this but if you run across any dnd stats for ertum or however it's spelled, the metal from esper, I want to use it in my homebrew world
Nooooooo wayyyyyyy!!!! I’ve been waiting for this!!! Super hyped!!!!!!!! 🥲 making pop corn for this one 🍿
Undine is pronounced Un-dean... Merfolk and Viashino are my favorite humanoid races, I can't wait to return to Alara and Ixalan.

Ah shit, there's the card for the quote I left in the community post. That poor guy is going to get slit.
24:58
Look there he is again. My man is making his rounds doing up the slitty.
I bastardized the quote but enough of it stuck around to keep the point.
my fav plane is Lorrawyn/Shadowmor
Does anyone know the music of the outro
We looove you Sam FIRST just to support...correction sorry Eric
Id love the link to the art where the mermaid sees herself as a human in the mirror
Ixalan Merfolk through and through
I still don't understand what makes a merfolk any different from an elf tbh.
Like they aren't even averse to red mana. They're literally sea elves that weirdly don't hang out with elves anywhere but simic (who somehow finds the one way to be a little *too* inclusive hahaha)
Obligatory 1st
what about pyrexia merfolk ? You didn't mention pyrexia merfolk.
