An overhauled simic sea-creatures deck build around Thassas advocate:

Kenessos, Priest of Thassa

I rebuilded the whole deck, since the old seacreature/landfall strategy (Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait) wasn‘t that exciting,… Kenessos offers a whole new, fancy take on these big fatties.

Now, the goal is to manipulate the top of our deck to trigger Kenessos the most effective way and cheat those big, bad fishy fatties into play

As Plan B we want to cheat from our hand with Monster Manual, Elvish Piper, Kodama of the East Tree and In Search of Greatness (the latter supports our commander, even if the cheat doesn‘t trigger). If even that fails there is always a Defense of the Heart

Our playmakers besides Kenessos are Biomancer's Familiar and Training Grounds because they‘re reducing our activation-cost vastly… Season of Growth provide awesome synergy with Kenessos‘s activation, Aqueous Form lets us scry and make devastating attacks! But… if you manage to drop Cream of the Crop with and activation… well, prepare to dig your library hard!

This deck can be a little bit rough again wipes. But due to the low cost of Kenessos, a comeback is possible any time.

I‘m looking forward to your thoughts.
