Kiora's Friends:
Kiora's Follower: Tricked into worship! Used to tap your Commander multiple times for mana, or tap for mana, and attack in the same turn. Transitions into untapping
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx /
Lotus Field /
Temple of the False God /
Simic Growth Chamber.
Prime Speaker Zegana: A perfect friend for Kiora and her creatures, Zegana draws strength from the strength of others and loves to assist fellow ocean-dwellers. Draws you tons of cards.
Tatyova, Benthic Druid: Here to accompany several Benthic sea creatures, this pleasant Druid that will reward Kiora for putting lands into play. Single-card engine.
Voyaging Satyr: Drawn together by their desires to explore, this Druid helps to untap the Isle himself, as well as
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx /
Lotus Field /
Temple of the False God /
Simic Growth Chamber.
Kiora's Foes:
Emrakul, the Promised End: The boogeyman of the Titans, with this big baddie looming in the wings, Kiora will never forget the dangers these baddies brought to her homeland of Zendikar. Cause chaos by mindslaving opponents into open hostilities while you wait to crush your foes with this otherworldly Octopus.
Kozilek, Butcher of Truth: The original big nasty version of Kozilek from the first Zendikar block. Kiora faced off against this monster riding on the back of
Lorthos, the Tidemaker. Card advantage on the back of one of Magic's most iconic beaters.
Thassa, God of the Sea: They fought for control over
Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle. Thassa may have prevented the theft of her favorite Kraken, but not the theft of her God-Weapon, Dekella. Flavor add and unblockable utility.
Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger: Rounding out the list of Kiora's rivals is the third Titan, Ulamog, previously thought to be a Merfolk deity by the name of Ula. This horrifying tentacle monster will remove some threats upon cast, and leave behind an even bigger threat.
Kiora's Confiscated Creatures:
Angler Turtle: A big scary turtle with Hexproof. Typically used to clear blockers so you can finish off your opponents.
Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle: As the centerpiece of Kiora's fight with Thassa, it is only fitting that this creature be the Commander for a Kiora tribal theme deck. Ramp in the Command Zone is also one of the strongest things you can do, and really enables this deck's high casting costs.
Breaching Leviathan: This monstrous Leviathan cost Kiora's attention with her ability to drown her opponents's creatures in the breaching waves, while clearing the path for sea creatures from all over the Multiverse.
Chasm Skulker: Upon seeing a massive Squid burst into many smaller ones, Kiora recruited this growing threat into her family of deep sea-dwellers.
Dark Depths: Beneath the depths, frozen in ice, awaits our most fearsome sea creature, the infamous, Marit Lage. Sink mana into removing counters or copy with
Thespian's Stage before your turn to get people with this massive flying avatar out of nowhere.
Elder Deep-Fiend: Kiora and the Eldrazi do not get along, but this one is clearly an Octopus, and any creature of the sea is hers to tame! Instant speed tap down permanents.
Kederekt Leviathan: Another Leviathan that specializes in making waves. Extremely flexible due to Unearthing with Haste, making this one of the most unsuspecting cards in the deck.
Hydroid Krasis: This creepy Ravnician mutation found its home in Kiora's arsenal due to its sheer terror and versatility. A gift from the Simic Combine. Draws cards, gains life, flies, big X spell.
Lorthos, the Tidemaker: Kiora and this Octopus fought together during the Battle of Zendikar, and he's back to help lockdown permanents and give you a clear channel to swim through.
Mesmerizing Benthid: This loyal Octopus is accompanied by a couple of Illusion that will make our opponents think twice about declaring attackers at us.
Nadir Kraken: This ominous Kraken grows larger over time and brings friends to the party.
Nezahal, Primal Tide: The only Dinosaur in the deck. This embodiment of blue mana will lead you to victory with the card advantage that it gives and it's resilience.
Scourge of Fleets: This Kraken is looking to swallow our opponents whole, bouncing only their creatures while ours remain free to attack.
Serpent of Yawning Depths: One of the multiverse's most daunting Serpents, he clears the waters for all the sea's creatures to attack. A precious addition to Kiora's collection.
Slinn Voda, the Rising Deep: Said to be as big as
Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle, this Leviathan is one of the most expensive casting costs in the deck after it has been kicked, but the one-sided board wipe is perfect slowing the developing battlefield and allows for massive attacks.
Shipbreaker Kraken: A big Kraken with enough strength to pull even the mightiest ships to the sea floor. 6/6 that becomes a 10/10 and clears the way for attacks.
Stormsurge Kraken: The most loyal Kraken, this Hexproof Lieutenant is hard to remove and can provide great card advantage when opponents can't afford to take 7 damage.
Thing in the Ice
: A ticking time-bomb, frozen in ice, free the Horror, and watch him blow away all (non-Horror) creatures.
