OK, so I'm not going to mention every single card, because that will take to long and let's be real, you don't wanna read about why I put Rampant Growth in. You know why. So the basic game plan here is to swing for commander damage with Arixmethes, the Slumbering Isle. There are cards in here to make The Isle unblockable. In addition to that there are cards that can make it swing for double. . Cards to make Arixmethes, the Slumbering Isle unblockable: Thassa, God of the Sea Kaseto, Orochi Archmage Rogue's Passage Archetype of Imagination Trailblazer's Boots Then there are the cards that allow The Isle to be lethal in one hit: Hadana's Climb   Fireshrieker I wish there were more cards in the deck that had this effect, but for now that's it. There are a number of cards in here that are just so damn good with Arixmethes. Kiora's Follower is good all around, but with the The Isle out, you get 4 colored mana. Selvala, Heart of the Wilds will net you 12 colored mana. More if you also have the previously mentioned card out. Rishkar's Expertise let's you dig deep and cast a little somethin' for free. Prime Speaker Zegana is more of a draw spell than anything else. 13 cards? Yes please. Soul's Majesty is just so good here. If you've read this far you know there are some killer draw spells here. One of my favorite cards to pair with extra draw is Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar.With Arixmethes, the Slumbering Isle and Tomorrow on the battlefield, casting Prime Speaker Zegana would enable you to dig 36 cards deep. WOOT WOOT What you may not know, is that this deck used to be mono blue and helmed by Kami of the Crescent Moon. If you are interested in seeing that decklist, it's still up here: It Came From THE DEEP. Anyway, there are a few vestigial cards left in as an homage to this decks humble origins. They are mostly group draw and are as follows: Kami of the Crescent Moon (duh), Anvil of Bogardan (Although a bit wordy, it's fun and it gives everyone unlimited hand size which is always nice), and Howling Mine.
