Wizards has blessed us with our big crab boi, Charix, the Raging Isle.

"Tamatoa hasn't always been this glam, I was a drab little crab once. Now I know I can be happy as a clam, because I'm beautiful baby." - Tamatoa

Tamatoa wouldn't be himself without his bling, so this deck runs Voltron strategies to buff him up and help him take down Maui.

"The power of creation, for a crustacean!" - Tamatoa

While Tamatoa is obsessed with his self image, he's not only interested in Voltron, he wishes to create. This is reflected with landfall strategies centering around his crab babies Hedron Crab, Ruin Crab, and Iceberg Cancrix.

A landfall/voltron paired strategy seems counter-intuitive, but it actually works for Charix due to his reliance on having Islands in play for his ability.

Combos

Scaretiller + Retreat to Coralhelm + Amulet of Vigor + Evolving Wilds\Terramorphic Expanse = Recurrable landfall

Amulet of Vigor + Patron of the Moon + Cloudstone Curio = Infinite landfall

Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake = Infinite Mana

Infinite Mana + Spectral Sailor = Draw

Wincons

Infinite landfall + Ruin Crab/Hedron Crab/Iceberg Cancrix = Mill

Infinite Mana + Capsize = Bounce everything back to opponents hands

Biggest baddest crab in the land/sea smacking people in the face = Priceless

First Charix, the Raging Isle deck on Tappedout!
