Behold the Legendary Sea Monsters!

I wanted to built Runo Stromkirk   for obvious reasons - Cuthulu - and while thinking about what creatures I would like to copy I noticed that most of the best Sea Monster Creatures are Legends. So, I had to think about how I can copy Legends without them dying. One answer could have been Mirror Gallery but that didn't satisfy me. Sakashima of a Thousand Faces is by far the better choice for multiple reasons.

  1. He's always available when I need him - in the command zone.

  2. He can provide additional value in the early game by copying one of my smaller Creatures like Baleful Strix or Reclamation Sage.

  3. He is a Partner Commander which gives me the Option to advance beyond the Dimir Color Identity.

  4. He negates the Legend rule for all of my permanents.

The second Partner is mostly for the Sultai Color Identity, but Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper can also provide a steady source of lifegain to keep me alive to the Midgame where this deck should start doing it's thing.

The general Gameplan is:

  1. Discard beefy Sea Monsters and gain additional value while doing it.
  2. Tutor up Runo Stromkirk   and return a Creature with a Mana Value of 6 or more to the top of the Library.
  3. Flip Runo Stromkirk  .
  4. Play a beefy Sea Monster.
  5. Attack with Krothuss, Lord of the Deep and copy a Sea Monster twice or Copy one of the value/removal Creatures.

Additionaly, if Sakashima of a Thousand Faces is on the Board I can copy my Legendary Sea Monsters and Profit of extra ETB's from Gyruda, Doom of Depths, gain extra Value with Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait or overwhelm my Opponents with an Army of Serpents form Coma, Cosmos Serpent

If my Main Gameplan doesn't work or Runo Stromkirk   gets exiled I have a backup plan of just copying the biggest Creatures on the Board and trying to win with them.

The deck lacks Protection and Removal but I couldn't find room for it.

It's a very greedy Timmy deck but whatever! I can't wait to pull the main Gameplan of once.
