Wizard's Retort definitely isn't the spell for us, I feel between the fact that only so many of our Fish are Wizards, and the amount of brown/green sources each deck runs, you're just better off with Unified Will if you want a hard counter.
Ugh, Erg Raiders? There are more deserving commons from Arabian Nights that need the print. Cuombajj Witches or Oubliette would have been much more appriciated.
Not a chance that Oubliette would have been common though. Maybe it's still possible at uncommon?
Given the complexity of Oubliette's wording, even in Oracle text, I think NWO would probably force it at Rare. Which means it's not happening.
Oubliette is more of a pipe-dream want anyway. Cuombajj was my sensible choice.

not in this deck. It is another 2 mana spell, but we have 2524 of this allready. If you want hate, pressure and low mana try relic main. 1 mana is better then 2 for merfolk
That's not necessarily true. Chalice can be played on 0 to counter 0 cost spells like Living End, and Chalice on 1 can all but shut down decks that rely on 1-drops like Infect or Elves or Burn.
The question is how much of the field is like that right now, and is the usual suite of countermagic post-board more than enough?

Cuombajj Witches and Oubliette haven't been crunched out yet, and would be greatly appreciated.

We have Cursecatcher, and we typically don't have the luxury of holding up the U mana to use the ability.
I want a Pyromancer Ascension with an easier to fufill condition and less payoff.
