can you give me specifics about combat tricks that fairies or merfolk did that are not not viable in this rules set? cause fairies was still the dominant deck up until like a few months ago when the lorwyn and shadowmoor blocks left and merfolk was only seen rarely after lord of atlantis left from timespiral. With the exception of some M10 stuff that made them see some play right before the cycle. Granted i didnt play all that much during timespiral/lorwyn ( which was a mistake cause i think it was probably the best standard in awhile, <3 timespiral) but i cant think of anything off the top of my head.
