In Duels of the Planewalkers you can use a close-up of this merfolk's face as your avatar. It's really, really creepy. Great 1-drop, fantastic rape face.

Do y'all have ANY idea how out of hand she gets in today's Magic?? I played her just for the heck of it as a last sec fill-in to have 60 cards. I did not get to play 1 single card that helped her. Not 1. Based just on what my opp did who was playing a r/b vamp burn deck with a ton of tutor and dig cards, I was able to watch her go from a 1/1 joke to a 9/9 roided out Merfolk in literally no time at all. For those interested, I lost the game. Bad. But this card was the bright spot and now I'm building a u/g deck with 4 of this and some overrun, a couple decent equip's and cards that focus on forcing an opp to shuffle. If you have this card, TRY IT. You'll be amazed at just how many times/game an opp shuffles his/her deck nowadays without your own added effects and because the effects/abilities that lead up to that are usually a HUGE part of that opp's main strategy, they'll see your trickster and if they can't remove it, you'll hear- "Oh well, I gotta do it.." lol TRUST ME on that ;)

Anyone tried using this girl in modern yet?
Fetch lands everywhere... U/W merfolk have path to exile, and given the opportunity she could've easily stood up to that nasty piece of work wild nacatl, and maybe have been able to show that there were enough cards at roughly the same power level to prevent it's banning...
What's that? You got a fetch-land but don't want my creature to turn into a 5/5 so i can block your tarmogoyf? Plays master of the pearl trident then proceeds to smash face... :-P
Apart from that, the deck-searching action was pretty rampant while this girl was in standard... i guess either nobody clicked that cawblade, valakut and any deck running fetch-lands/tutors regularly shuffled to care enough to give her a try, or she was just outclassed by all the other amazing blue 1-drops... as far as i can see the only blue 1-drop people took notice of was preordain, which is apparently pow... (see all)

@OmegaSerris (and, therefore, Obsessed Addict) - According to Karn's rulings, everything comes back into play (that Karn exiled) after cards in the hand are checked for abilities (such as leylines and chancellors), so the Trickster won't get any counters.

Based on Party Rock Anthem, she'll get +1/+1 at least every day.

Wow.
I'm actually going through every card available in modern, because I am unfamiliar with the bulk of the cards except the ones that are currently being played. I want to see if I can find any gems - overlooked cards that could perform well and be very cheap to pick up.
This card seems like a really good aggro creature against the field in Modern. It will always get to be a 3/3 since everyone is playing 8 fetch lands, but what's more interesting is that a lot of decks are tutoring, like the pod decks.
I suppose there are still a number of answers to this card, like Abrupt Decay, Lightning Bolt (if they do it early enough of course), Teminate, etc., but I'd rather they spend their removal on a stupid 1cc 1/1 and not on my lords and stuff anyway.
I know merfolk is already a deck in modern, but I am not sure it runs this guy. Maybe it should. The question is, should it run this or the 1cc tempo guy that counters a spell unless they pay 1.

Tap an Island, a Swamp and two other land (leave the mana floating).
Cast Soulscour
Cast this THEN Bitter Ordeal with your floating mana.
Equip Lightning Greaves to this.
Be satisfied.
