Under the sea, please don't kill me!

Commander / EDH GU (Simic) Ramp

slusken


"Have you ever gazed into the depths of the ocean, imagining what monsters could be lurking just beneath the waves?"

When i saw that they were going to print Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle as a card, with an ability in perfect flavour with his/her (its?) lore, I knew I had to create a Commander deck around it.

So what's better than one giant monster of the deep?

...How about a whole boat-load of them!
I've collected some of the most disgusting, slippery and horrifying creatures of the deep in this tribal sea-monsters deck.

The plan is to ramp a lot (Growth Spiral, Farseek, Rampant Growth, Explore), get your commander on the field and just dump these giant fish and sea-monsters on the board to overwhelm your opponents.

Add in board wipes/returns (Whelming Wave, Cyclonic Rift) to counter those pesky aggressive decks.

Throw in some merfolk utility (Prime Speaker Zegana, Kiora's Follower, Tatyova, Benthic Druid,Thrasios, Triton Hero) as well as some other nice-to-have cards, (Voidslime, Plasm Capture, Blue Sun's Zenith, Mana Drain) to foil your opponents plans and expedite their demise.

Finally, use one of the many finishers (Overwhelming Stampede, Deepchannel Mentor, Finale of Devastation) to swim in for the win!

Any suggestions and/or general feedback is greatly appreciated!

Woah, 3 full years since I first created this deck, what a crazy journey it's been!

There's been a lot of new amazing cards that's been released since the last update, so I decided to revisit the whole deck, give it a bit of a touch-up and update some card-choices to better suit the current meta in my playgoup. So, the deck has gotten a bit more... shall I say "competitive"?

I won't be able to update all of the card changes as I've already done a lot of back and forth swapping before landing on the current setup.

I hope you enjoy, and as always, feel free to give me as much card suggestions as you'd like!
