So, I'm pretty excited to give this a shot. If you have any suggestions/comments, let me know!

THE BREAKDOWN

Cloudifn Raptor - This guy replaced Kiora's Follower. A one drop flyer that's guaranteed to grow.

Master Biomancer - The Timmy in me loves this guy. I think he's finally found a home in the deck. With him out, Master of Waves's tokens no longer rely on him.

Master of Waves - Build devotion, drop crazy horses. 'Nuff said.

Nightveil Specter - A Mono Blue Devotion staple, this guy is the workhorse of the group, and is definitely a threat if not handled.

Sylvan Caryatid - Ramp!

Thassa, God of the Sea - When she comes online, it's (almost) game over! Indestructible + Scry, what more could you want?!

Bident of Thassa - Card advantage, and tons of devotion.

Kiora, the Crashing Wave - Ooh girl! I think she'll do great in this deck.

Cyclonic Rift - Get rid of that pesky army on the other side of the field

Fated Infatuation - This card + Master Biomancer/Master of Waves = Fun.

Thassa's Rebuff - Just so you can say "And in response..." to your opponent when they casts those bombs.

Syncopate - For countering and stuff.

SIDEBOARD Mistcutter Hydra I love Misty. Playing against blue? Sideboard Misty.

Rapid Hybridization - Bye bye Desecration Demon and other baddies.

Simic Charm - Ultimite Price? Nah...

Tidebinder Mage - G/R monsters? More like G/R tapped monsters!

Well...it went okay. I ended up winning 2/5 matches, with a loss being my fault. More on that later, on to the breakdown!

Match 1: Tidal Waves VS Dimir Mill (1-2-0)

Game 1: I got milled to death. I had a hard time getting a solid board presence and never had enough devotion to drop a heavy Master of Wavesfoil.

Game 2: -4x Master of Wavesfoil +4x Mistcutter Hydra -3x Thassa's Rebuff +3x Simic Charm Thank you Mistcutter! I ended winning this match with a single 7/7 Misty.

Game 3: (no sideboard changes) Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver killed me here. He somehow ended up milling almost all of my Green mana.


Match 2: Tidal Waves VS Slivers (1-2-0)

Game 1: This loss was my fault completely. I kinda just laughed off Slivers when I saw he was playing them. Turns out if you let too many of them come out it's a huge problem...

Game 2: (no sideboard changes) I ended up winning this one thanks to a large Master of Wavesfoil drop with Master Biomancer on the field.

Game 3: (no sideboard changes) Opponent was at 18, I was at 9. I had a Cyclonic Rift in hand that could be overloaded, and a Master of Wavesfoil in my hand that could be dropped the next turn. Instead I decided to do that in the reverse order, which ended up costing me the game.


Match 3: Tidal Waves VS RDW (1-2-0)

Game 1: Everything I loved was burned to death.

Game 2: (-4x Kiora's Follower +4x Tidebinder Mage -3x Thassa's Rebuff +3x Simic Charm) No one ever see's Tidebinder coming. I locked him down and Master of Babes took me to the win.

Game 3: (no changes to sideboard) Once again, everything I loved was burned.


Match 4: Tidal Waves VS G/R Monsters (2-0-0)

Game 1 (-4x Kiora's Follower +4x Tidebinder Mage) So, I was that this guy was playing G/R monsters earlier in the evening. Tidebinder kept him locked down and Thassa went in for the kill.

Game 2: Exactly the same!


Match 5: Tidal Waves VS B/U Control (2-0-0)

Game 1: This deck was slow, and he played a lot of removal and counters. My board presence grew to be too much though and Nightveil Spectre? won it. Game 2: (-4x Master of Wavesfoil +4x Mistcutter Hydra -4x Fated Infatuation +4x Simic Charm.) Misty going in for the kill this game! With protection thanks to Simic Charm, he was able to attack uninhibited.


So, I think there's some work to be done! I'm considering dropping 4x Kiora's Follower permanantly, possible for Frostburn Weird or Cloudfin Raptor. Thoughts?
