Merrow Reejerey card art
Merrow Reejerey is the lord that makes Merfolk go infinite — every Merfolk spell untaps any permanent, which means mana rocks, lands, and creatures all become fodder for combos and explosive turns. Paired with Shrieking Drake, the untap trigger loops freely with any blue Merfolk on board, and Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca turns that loop into a full library draw or a table-wide tap-down.

Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca runs Merrow Reejerey in over 91% of its decks because the two cards form the backbone of the deck's combo engine — Reejerey's untap triggers let Kumena activate repeatedly on the same turn, drawing cards or putting +1/+1 counters on the whole team with a single Merfolk storm.

Hakbal of the Surging Soul wants Merrow Reejerey for the same untap value that powers every Simic Merfolk build — explore triggers stack up quickly, and Reejerey's ability to untap lands keeps the mana flowing through the chain while also unlocking Hakbal's tap ability more than once per turn.

Commander is where Merrow Reejerey does its best work, slotting into virtually every competitive Merfolk list as a combo enabler and lord in one. In Legacy and Vintage, Merfolk tribal is a real archetype, but Reejerey sits at three mana in formats where the curve needs to stay low — it sees fringe play at best, mostly in more casual builds where the untap effect can be leveraged over a longer game. Modern Merfolk has historically leaned on it as a value piece, though the format has grown fast enough that a three-drop with no immediate protection is a liability against the top tier. Outside of Commander, Merrow Reejerey is a build-around rather than a format staple.
