Scattering Stroke

Instant

Counter target spell. Clash with an opponent. If you win, at the beginning of your next main phase, you may add (X) to your mana pool, where X is that spell's converted mana cost. (Each clashing player reveals the top card of his or her library, then puts that card on the top or bottom. A player wins if his or her card had a higher converted mana cost.)

Don't know how to re-edit my own comments. Two more: Research the Deep and Scattering Stroke. That is all. Really like what you've done so far. Good job!

Cut Kraken Hatchling , Scattering Stroke , Thassa's Rebuff , Bident of Thassa , Kruphix, God of Horizons and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx .

Return of the Wildspeaker , Prime Speaker Zegana , Rishkar's Expertise , Rush of Knowledge , Shamanic Revelation , Finale of Revelation , Praetor's Council, Feed , Soul's Majesty , Colossal Majesty , Elemental Bond , Guardian Project are good at drawing cards in this deck.

Your deck wants to ramp heavily, try adding a balance of early game ramp that costs 2-4 CMC and late game ramp that costs 5+ CMC, some good early ramp options include Farseek , Rampant Growth , Grow from the Ashes , Skyshroud Claim , Circuitous Route , Myriad Landscape , Burgeoning , Blighted Woodland . Good late game ramp options are Traverse the Outlands , Boundless Realms . Since your commander is CMC 4 you want any 1 or 2 CMC ramp to get it out on turn 3 at the latest but after that artifact ramp is much more fragile than land ramp so try to avoid it.

Note that Simic Guildgate is a good addition if you include Circuitous Route.

Fierce Empath can tutor any of your giant creatures.

Elvish Piper is another Quicksilver Amulet and Mosswort Bridge is a free addition that can cheat in a lot of big creatures.

Displacement Wave and Inundate are both other synergistic board wipes.

Lurking Predators can make it really scary for opponents to play any spells.

Leyline of Anticipation , Alchemist's Refuge and even Yeva, Nature's Herald are really good since they give your creatures pseudo-haste and protect them from sorcery speed removal for 1 turn.

With enough ramp, X spells can be particularly impactful, Finale of Devastation can search for any creature and it's not hard to get X=10+ to win the game, Genesis Wave is one of the premier green X spells,

Freed from the Real and Pemmin's Aura both create infinite with your commander. It's your choice if you want to include these cards though, they're not for every playgroup and don't fit the theme of your deck.

Here is the gatherer search for sea monsters there are enough of them that you should be able to have all of your sea monsters have some impact on the board, there are also some that might be better than the ones you currently have.

Island

Spell Swindle

Talisman of Progress

Mind Stone

Fellwar Stone

Hedron Archive

Ojutai Monument

Commander's Sphere

Worn Powerstone

Darksteel Ingot

Azorius Signet

Azorius Locket

Things to remove:

Sphinx of Uthuun

Also remove any counterspell that is over cmc 4 and asks a opponent to pay a set amount mana like: Convolute and Scattering Stroke

Counterspells like: Condescend that ask a player to X are okay to stay, they are the kind you want along with the unconditional ones.

Hope it helps fam.

Well I think clash would work good. Pollen Lullaby and Scattering Stroke seem like the best 2. May some other stuff like Arbiter of the Ideal.

Some other good cards that care about the top like Baneful Omen, Counterbalance, Deceiver of Form,

The main strategy I'd go with is generating large amounts of artifact tokens/creatures to win with either riches or crazy recursion loops with giant beaters, sacking a few myr or thopters with something like Champion of Stray Souls to bring back all your giant beasties. This is just a bunch of possible options that would help with that strategy.

Considering adding Scattering Stroke, Mystical Tutor, Rite of Replication and Stolen Goods. Other than that, By George I think I've Got it.
