Gomazoa

Creature — Jellyfish

Defender, flying

{T}: Put Gomazoa and each creature it's blocking on top of their owners' libraries, then those players shuffle their libraries.

Gidgetimer has made some great suggestions for you to start off with. The only thing I would change is I would start with 10 ramp spells, due to your commander costing 6 mana to cast. I'd probably settle around 40 lands, especially if you go the landfall route, but 38 is a good number. You might not have to go as heavy on card draw spells, since your commander has card draw tacked onto it.

Keep in mind that with your commander in play, every land drop is also a card draw spell. With that in mind, I'd lean heavy into land ramp spells, like Rampant Growth, Three Visits, Cultivate, Kodama's Reach, and you could even get into the 4 CMC versions of these spells. Tatyova, Benthic Druid is a good backup for your commander, too.

More interaction, especially along the lines of removal, is also another good way to give you staying power in the game, and Gidgetimer mentioned lots of good ones. I really like Gomazoa; that's the first time I've seen it, and a nice budget option to boot. Meteor Golem is pretty horrible in here, and I don't think it should ever really be run in Simic deck; it's a better fit in colors with trouble hitting enchantments, like black, red, and Rakdos decks. Don't forget counter-magic; that's essentially removal, as well, and most of it you can find at the 2 and 3 CMC range. Counter-magic can also double as protection for your important pieces, and you could also consider running something like Lazotep Plating to help out, too.

Hopefully everyone here has been able to help you out a little to get started. Please respond back to us, and give us a little more information on the route you want to take the deck, and what kind if budget your are working with. Then we can really focus things in.

Without info on a budget it is a bit hard to suggest upgrades. However; as said before you need to lower your mana curve and focus the deck on either landfall or beaters. I would also cut 6 of the lands to go down to 38 and add in much more ramp. Cutting:

6 lands

Terastodon

Elder Deep-Fiend

Verdant Sun's Avatar

Meteor Golem

Sphinx of Uthuun

Scourge of Fleets

Tromokratis

would give you 13 free spots. If you filled those spots with 1 and 2 CMC ramp and cheap removal your games would go much smoother. Personally I'd go with 8 ramp and 5 removal, and here is where what your budget is will matter for choices.

Ramp

Birds of Paradise

Elvish Visionary

Exploration

Fyndhorn Elves

Llanowar Elves

Burgeoning

Wild Growth

Arcane Signet

Devoted Druid

Lotus Cobra

Talisman of Curiosity

Removal

Beast Within

Pongify

Cyclonic Rift

Rapid Hybridization

Negate

Disperse

Brazen Borrower

Boomerang

Divide by Zero

Gomazoa is a card I like to throw in from time to time. Helps stop some people from attacking you. I think you need a little bit more draw for when you don't have your commander out. Some blink effects might help with drawing cards and abuse other ETBs. Deck looks fun.

I want a legendary Simic colored Gomazoa Guard Gomazoa that would be good for EDH as a tribe leader.

I dunno, that Loyal Drake doesn't look much like a starfish or crab...

It may seem innocuous but Sand Squid has always overperformed in my seamonster decks. Coral Capers -- (Budget Seamonsters) was the original with Thassa (which you've seen) but I morphed the deck into Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle (Tidal Trouble).

I had AEtherplasm in my mono-blue deck and it was quite good. Looks a bit like a jellyfish so that's a plus.

I always ran into issues where I would finally have enough ramp or Quicksilver Amulet out to do stuff but because I was open all through the early game I wouldn't have the life to realize my kraken dreams. Fog Bank , Guard Gomazoa , Gomazoa , Spiny Starfish , Wall of Kelp , and Wall of Frost are all good and on-theme, as well as helpful for Thassa's devotion.

a neat way to "kill" a big threat is with Gomazoa so you can probably just mill it away... Grafdigger's Cage is pretty good gravyard hate for opponents who want to work out of their graveyards and wont depower Jace's Phantasm / Wight of Precinct Six .
