I've played this deck during 4 player a few times. It's held up pretty well and is fun to play.

Main wincon being unblockable creatures and general disruption of other players' games.

Like most tribals, the longer the game lasts the more chance you have for some serious synergy. Cards i've found really handy at the start are Reef Shaman + Tidal Warrior . They're one drops, allow you to islandwalk later on, but can also stop players casting spells early game by changing one of their crucial lands into an island.

Bloodforged Batlle-Axe gets out of hand so quickly if you've got some islandwalk on the go from Lord of Atlantis + Master of the Pearl Trident + Streambed Aquitects .

Wake Thrasher is awesome, the more you cast and the more you've got out to tap the stronger this gets. It's crazy agro for a blue card. and when it's fully loaded you can drop Prime Speaker Zegana + Tishana, Voice of Thunder .

Creeping Corrosion It's in there purely for the reason my mate loves a deck with artifact creatures and this always messes him up. I'm sure there's a load of cards you'd swap out but if you're struggling, probably swap this.

There's a couple cards I've put in that I haven't played with yet. Arcane Adaptation + Vedalken Orrery I found that my attention getting cards require tapping to activate their abilities and the summoning sickness allows the other 3 players to deal with it before I can use 'em! Flashing them in prevents this and also adds a lot to your bluff game, which is very handy for bluuuee. Also, I've only just discovered Seahunter!! What an amazing card for this deck, especially with Arcane Adaptation allowing you to repeatedly tutor any card you like....schwing.

Judge of Currents + Lullmage Mentor work well together when you have Deeproot Waters + Stonybrook Schoolmaster + Summon the School . Merrow Commerce Is amazing with this also.

My Commanders aren't really vital for the deck. Thrasios, Triton Hero is super cheap and great for when you're stuck needing some land or just fancy drawing a card. I've mainly used Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker as flying defense and to avert attention away from more trixy cards.
