Champions of the Shoal, Creature — merfolk soldier, designed by Daniel Zrom first released in Jan, 2026 in the set Lorwyn Eclipsed and was printed exactly in 3 different ways.
Champions of the Shoal fits best in a **blue-based Merfolk tribal deck**, especially in formats like Standard (when legal), Pioneer, or casual tribal builds, where you can reliably exile a Merfolk from your hand or battlefield without losing overall value thanks to its leave-the-battlefield trigger returning it; it plays well in tempo-oriented or tap-control strategies that want to disrupt blockers or slow opposing threats with repeated tapping and stun counters, particularly if you can tap it repeatedly through attack triggers or other tap synergies.
