Not as effective as Drowner Initiate in my opinion. I like that Merfolk Mesmerist is a 1/2 rather than a 1/1, but I would rather see it as a simple {Tap}: Effect.
This card is slightly better than Millstone in my opinion simply because it can serve as a blocker and costs {1} less to activate the mill ability.
The art is cool and so is the flavor text, but I give this card a 3.5 out of 5 for effectiveness.

@Dr_Fletchers Yes, you can also mill yourself.

@Keino
No, she would be BROKEN if her ability didn't cost {u}.

I like her as a mill card. She gets 3.5/5 from me because although Hedron Crab is better and Tome Scour is better, neither are currently in standard, the Crab is 8x more in price, and Tome Scour only occurs once. It's the same reason why Millstone "can" be considered "better" than Tome Scour.

Strictly better than Vedalken Entrancer.

Not a great card really, but it's okay. In limited it will win games simply because of the 40-card decks it's milling instead of 60.
