One of my decks is made around the lord of atlantis.I have a bunch of merfolk with him so i can islandwalk my aponent.If my aponent has no islands i use Phantasmal Terrian to backdoor him.

Lord of Atlantis - " I am LORD OF ATLANTIS, I am the best of the mermaids FEAR ME"
if your playing mer put him in there is no reason you don't want a 2mana lord.

Not that it matters much, but I'm just wondering why the Oracle lists Lord of Atlantis as a Merfolk instead of a Merfolk Lord as it is in the printed version.

i don't get why the frame is old, thought timeshift had the newer frames... not that it's important just saying

Fits nicely into my mill-folk deck as added protection against burn and good for extra aggro, but typically I just tap his a$$...no wait...something's not right.

The Granddaddy of Merfolk. He was Lord of the merfolk before there were hardly any merfolk to be the lord of.
...which makes him the perfect candidate for Timeshifting. :)

Good card - however....does anyone else find it odd that they didn't get the wording and creature type completely unambiguous until time spiral? Seriously. Click through the expansions for this card. "Summon Lord of Atlantis" with "All merfolk get...." 1993 version of me wouldn'tve understood that two of these guys out will get +1/+1 and islandwalk.
Later, we have him as summon lord, and saying "Other merfolk" which indirectly indicated he's a merfolk.
LAST TRY they got it right? Type - merfolk lord. "Other merfolk." Done.
Better late than never :)

@T-101
The original cycle of lords correspond to 3 vanilla creatures in alpha. The idea was that the game was so complicated already that you needed some simple cards, but it was pretty easy for simple cards to be boring. So, Richard Garfield attached hidden complexity to simple cards by giving them each a lord.
Why does the blue one cost 2 mana? Blue's just like that, you kind of have to get used to that if you want to play magic. XD
