Welcome to Throwback Thursday! Each week we're going to take a trip into our video past to show you the best you may have missed the first time around.

Grand Prix Omaha is this weekend, and it features another round of Modern before Fate Reforged hits. With Pro Tour Fate Reforged set for Modern as well, we thought it was time to look back at a different deck. Modern is an Eternal format, after all, and not every deck fits into the narrow and popular archetypes we're used to. This look at Merfolk in Modern is just the type of off-the-radar deck that, with the right tools and metagame, can make a splash once more.
