Workshop decks doesnt care if opponent draws cards, it's the board state that matters in that matchup, which they usually outplay you fast by state effects you cant use drawn cards through spheres anyway.
Id compare this to Harsh mentor, which failed to make play.
Mox diamond works nice with hollow one and some other cards, just saying...
Since you dropped cavern and the human theme, maybe this works.
Otherwise, notion thief would always be better, even if 1 mana more its a drawer for you if surprise element, hits harder, and its a stopping of them ever drawing cards, which selkie doesn't.
I like your mana denial plan, works good with noble you got mana they dont.
Thalia doesnt mix too well with your dazes and fows and missteps though? But ill guess they counter thalia and then its free rollin.
Check in with J0nas at cockatrice (yea the bug guy), he played a white weenie to some success.
Bring all the small critters you want, my Punishing Fires will handle it!!!!
The problem is, why play this over just a merfolk deck? Merfolks are gonna have the exact same tools with energy flux, daze+fow, cold-eyed selkie and your exalted pumps are what they have in lord of atlantis and the rest.
Thats why i dont like your true-name nemesis card. I would consider sticking to the land destroy plan maybe even more with Ramunap excavator since we're green anyway, and MAYBE deathrite shaman to pump that up even more.
Null rod over stony silence. Does white really justify the difference?
Current and probably final version!!!

final 2019 new year deck!
Lotus petal for speeding up a turn 1 with jace or fayden, works good with treasure cruise dig delving and jace 5, and balance + a monk, plus better colors for assassin's trophy and overall manabase. Slightly strengthening the sb for dredge matchup with a rav trap to keep up the speed instead of a reb, so you can cast that rakdos charm in the end. Lots of fetches for a delve and jace 5 plus right colors.

Tinker colos vs anything that removes graveyard
Yeah crop rotation and fastbond works now that misstep is restricted
And Loam might see play now that karn tormods is restr, and less graveyard hate with golgari dredge decimated.
Yes. The deck is actually quite good, Im not going to go into game details because it takes far too much writing and effort to do, but it has good matchups vs almost anything, bug matchup can be very interesting but is among the less great ones. Oath can be a bit tough too, but its do-able. It's all dependant on your meta.
Stax matchup is good.
I'm gonna switch back to the previous version to the +1 tundra +1 balance - 1 volcanic island - 1 punishing fire again.
Even if you have dack stealing occasional pearls, always be able to cast Mentor is strong. You already have intuition for the 1 punishing, and balance is good vs dredge but mostly survival. Now Lavinia is coming in so Lotus petal is maybe less hot, but you can reb lavinia. Also so many planeswalkers + squee in yard for a balance. Balance can also be replayed with a jace, and or not graveyard dependant sweeper.
Last tweak:
The manabase a bit more stable now, although mentor is tougher to cast but 3 sources should do it. SB vs dredge stronger, and vs blue decks. Cut Balance, too situational.
