Yay, i finally have one of these!
I want to know what this card does when you play Swift Silence with a healthy pile of spells on the stack. How many merfolk do you get, just one, or one per spell countered?

I'm sorry Lullmage Mentor, counterspell is just about dead, all your synergy merfolk from lorwyn are gone, and the entire color of blue is completely crippled. You have two options, sit in a box of unused cards and cry, or play in extended.

How would this card work with Grimoire Thief? Would the ability trigger once for each spell the Thief counters or only once, period?

If this guy made Merflok Wizards, he would be so borken with Voidmage Prodigy.

Stonybrook Schoolmaster + Lullmage Mentor = Very Interesting...

Both like, yet dislike how this card works, seeing as you have to ring up 7 merfolk to use the ability that actually counts (the tapping seven merfolk to counter any spell), the other ability is nice, but wont even function unless you have a counter spell to use, and multiples of them. It's still possible to get the use of it, and I can certainly see control and merfolk decks having fun building around it, but it's not going to fit in other types of decks.

This guy is good completely on its own. It makes each of your counter spells read, "Counter target spell. Put a 1/1 blue merfolk token into play," effetively making each of your counterspells two-for-ones. Now you can chumps with your new 1/1, or they are threats your opponent has to deal with. And if you counter six spells, your opponent is definitely in trouble.

Not many Merfolk token generators, this is the only one which makes straight Merfolk tokens, not Merfolk Wizard tokens. Come on, WotC, make more Merfolk token generators, and finally give us a use for all those millions of Merfolk of the Pearl Trident cards you printed.
