Hello! I decided to kill some time today and try my hand at Braids. My original goal was to make it with a sea creatures subtheme and take advantage of cards like Whelming Wave and Serpent of Yawning Depths, which I've personally never seen in play.

Deck Guidelines

1. My budget is $150

2. My playgroup doesn't run Sol Ring or Cyclonic Rift

3. Sea creatures tribal

Burning Question(s)

How does my land/ramp package look?

Are there better sea creatures I should be using?

What would you remove?

Modifications!

After looking at my deck, I quickly saw that it was pretty unforgiving. Although it would have been a blast to play, no one would have wanted to play against it. So I pretty much removed all the theft, a handful of bounce cards and swapped some unforgiving creatures (mainly wizards) out for more sea creatures and potentially helpful artifacts.

Fatespinner->Nadir Kraken

Sower of Temptation->Tromokratis

Blatant Thievery->Narset, Parter of Veils

Proteus Staff->Mimic Vat

Vedalken Shackles->The Magic Mirror

Tidespout Tyrant->Vodalian Illusionist

AEtherize->Rush of Knowledge

Galecaster Colossus->Shipbreaker Kraken
