The only thing better than having CRABS... is sharing them with friends!
Looks like WOTC decided to stop being so shellfish and release some NEW crabs: Vexing Scuttler and Drownyard Behemoth ! So what is our CLAWSOME tactics? Our tactic is a pincer attack of control magic and costly crabs! Expand the other block for the CRABBY ideas that make it playable!

Looks like we have even MORE new crabs!
Hightide Hermit
,
Salvage Scuttler
and best of all
Skittering Crustacean
!
Skittering Crustacean
is a straight up upgrade to
Jwari Scuttler
so we swapped em around! Sorry ol'
Jwari Scuttler
!
Simple. Gather crabs with Call to the Kindred. Stall with Culling Scales,
Choking Tethers
and Echoing Truth. Win with a pincer attack of chunky crab beatdown and
Choking Tethers
/Echoing Truth to remove what's left blocking you!
You might of noticed all the crabs cost 3 or more! This is so we can use Culling Scales as a kill tool without the chance of it having to ever kill itself! Combined with Echoing Truth gives us quite a bit of control! Having mana costs of 3 means we can also pay 4 mana to cast
Vexing Scuttler
, maybe crack open that tasty
Riptide Crab
for a card draw and Echoing Truth back? Remember that no self-respecting CRABS infested owner would want to make a boring mill deck with Hedron Crab, much too boring!
The very early game will have you in a pinch since the crabs cost a fair amount!
Choking Tethers
is a great turn 2 defense and later a win con. Use Echoing Truth to delay if you have too! Just keep calm and CRABBY on!
Call to the Kindred is what we always want. Most crabs can be played on turn 3 so on turn 4 we can play Call to the Kindred! Try to drop the chunky
Vexing Scuttler
and
Drownyard Behemoth
! Don't worry about the emerge ability's, if you have one in your hand you can cast it for just ! Pretty good with
Vexing Scuttler
's ability! Not sure if other tribal enablers are needed since we can't flood the field with cheap crabs.
Riptide Crab
is little champ that I'm always happy to see. More so since using Terramorphic Expanse and such adds a means to slim the deck a bit! The deck only needs 4 mana to be effective!
Displacement Wave is the only CORE one, since it's beastly against token decks and tokens ruin Culling Scales. Miscalculation is just a solid counter spell and
King Crab
and
Oraxid
are just a bit of crabby color hate!
Sesame Seeds, Bottom bun, Chum (Food), Ketchup, Mustard, Mayonnaise, Relish, Sea Cheese, Pickles (Food), Sea Lettuce, Sea Tomatoes, Sea Onions, Sea/table Salt, Tartar Sauce, Secret sauce, A teaspoon of raspberry, Who-Hoo-Hoo, A-Ooga, Na na na, A splash of Whee, Top bun and Jellyfish Jelly...
