Kira, Great Glass-Spinnerprotection$8.05Protects your creatures from being targeted by opposing spells and abilities, functioning as a broad defensive ward-like effect. It is one of the closest blue creature-based protection pieces, though it protects any creature rather than only Merfolk.Vodalian Wave-Knightutility$7.90A Merfolk creature that supports an aggressive Merfolk board while being in the same tribal space as Kopala. It does not tax targeted interaction, but it is a similarly sized blue Merfolk payoff piece.Lord of Atlantisutility$14.28Classic Merfolk tribal anthem that strengthens the same kind of tribal board Kopala protects. While it is an offense-focused payoff rather than protection, it belongs in the same blue Merfolk shell.Merrow ReejereyutilityBudget$0.27Another staple Merfolk lord that advances the same tribal game plan and rewards committing to Merfolk creatures. It is not a protection effect, but it is a premier blue Merfolk support card.Silvergill Adeptcard_drawBudget$0.37A core Merfolk value creature that helps keep your hand full while you assemble a tribal board. It shares the same color identity and tribe, making it a common companion to Kopala-style decks.Benthic Biomancercard_drawBudget$0.28A cheap Merfolk that smooths draws and helps early development in the same tribe. It is not defensive, but it fills the same low-cost Merfolk slot in blue tribal decks.Vodalian Hexcatcherprotection$4.07A stronger modern Merfolk lord that also taxes opposing spells by sacrificing Merfolk, giving another layer of disruption. It is one of the closest functional upgrades for a Merfolk-heavy deck.Aether Vialutility$5.11Not a creature, but it is a staple way to deploy Merfolk while keeping mana open to protect the board.
