6. UB Merfolk

Merfolk is one of the most effective tribal decks in any format, mainly because of all the access to several merfolk creatures in the meta. This diversity makes the merfolk build naturally suited for the Singleton format as well. Access to green for mana fix makes this deck more viable in the format, and access to blue counterspells also helps in the end game.

Why it’s good:

  • Has access to green spells for mana-fix
  • Plenty of Merfolk creatures to cast
  • One of the most effective tribal decks in Singleton
  • Has early game and late game creatures

Key Cards:

  • Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca
  • Deeproot Elite
  • Merfolk Mistbinder
