In the case of Magic, though, the more powerful creatures often have either flying or trample, which tends to prevent them from being stopped by throwaway mooks.
Merfolk vs. any "land-based" creature showcases how two types of enemies in Magic could not physically "fight" each other. No one seems to care about this issue in Magic. :)
I dunno, that looks like it can go on land. YMMV

And when we hear the truth, even if we don't understand it, we feel that truth resonate within us…vibrating with our unconscious wisdom. Perhaps the truth is not learned by us, but rather, the truth is re-called…re-membered…re-cognized…as that which is already inside us." Peter Solomon, The Lost Symbol

Fine… Lord of Atlantis vs. Knight Exemplar… my point is valid. If one (or a few) Merfolk do not fit the mold of my argument, the other hundred of them do. The point is that this kind of combat occurs in games other than Star Wars, and those other games don't have complaints about this. :)

Fair enough. I would argue, though, that there's nothing saying merfolk can't slither on land. They tend to more resemble naga than true mermaids/mermen. I think the fact that some sea creatures can't go on land is represented in the game with its sharks, which "can't attack unless the defending player controls an island."

It all doesn't change the fact that in M:tG an insect is able to block a giant for one turn (not every huge creature has trample).
In Call of Cthulhu I'm able to arm my formless shoggoth with a machinegun, sword and six pistols at the same time :).
You just have to use your imagination or simply stop caring too much and concentrate on the game itself.
Compared to the examples above, SW should even be more realistic in many sutuations because a lot of cards can be used only on characters, only on force users or only on vehicules. Other units can't be enchanced be enhanced in any way. Most of the card games doesn't even have that kind of restrictions.

Sure.

Homarids are way cooler..

Homarids are NOT cooler than merfolk. Homarids are only cool if you get invited to Red Lobster and they make you hungry.

I've never had merfolk offer me cheddar biscuits.

No one should ever eat at Red Lobster. Especially if you live on or near the coast. Biscuits or not.

I can't argue with that, though I'm more of a freshwater fish fan.
