Modern Magic — Ipnu Merfolk vs. Orzhov Superfriends

Once again, I bring you a homebrew of mine, this one being the weirdest Merfolk deck I've ever seen in any constructed format. It's sort of a two-color list, but the second color is "colorless", which is used for four mainboard copies of both Warping Wail and Spatial Contortion, the former of which is such a flexible card that I had to try it out and the latter which often serves as a less painful Dismember. In conjunction with the Dismember that's already in the main, the four Chalice of the Void, and discard via Riptide Pilferer, this variant trades speed and power for interaction.

It's too bad that I punted game three by not paying enough attention to the board…

(I am still convinced that, between the Ghost Quarter recursion, the Chalice on one, and the Academy Ruins to get back Smuggler's Copter, I would have won had I swung at Liliana instead of Sorin.)

Anyway, here's the decklist:
Artifacts (10)
4 Aether Vial
4 Chalice of the Void
2 Smuggler’s Copter
Creatures (20)
4 Cursecatcher
1 Kopala, Warden of Waves

4 Stonybrook Banneret
Instants (9)
1 Dismember
4 Spatial Contortion
4 Warping Wail
Lands (21)
1 Academy Ruins
4 Cavern of Souls
1 Gemstone Caverns
1 Island
1 Minamo, School at Water’s Edge
4 Mutavault
1 Oboro, Palace in the Clouds
4 Tectonic Edge
4 Unclaimed Territory
Sideboard (15)
2 Crucible of Worlds
2 Dismember
1 Ghost Quarter
2 Grafdigger’s Cage
3 Phyrexian Revoker
3 Relic of Progenitus
1 Spellskite
1 Torpor Orb
