I've always loved sea creatures, and Kiora, the Crashing Wave isn't really getting any love except by EDH players.

I originally was going to try and go turbo on getting Kiora's emblem, but I decided it was too flimsy.

This deck's intentions now is to build a board state that continues to swell with each turn. This will provide me with enough bodies to defend my walkers. I'm not looking to add any proliferate here.

Kiora, the Crashing Wave's ultimate is my win con.

Coiling Oracle, Rogue Refiner and Wistful Selkie kinda just keep things flowing. They are not crucial, and are kind of there as place holders till I find something better, or maybe they will work well.

Master Biomancer is there as a big butt who can get me more value out of my future creatures. Slow and steady I think is how this deck will be.

Thragtusk while not the most simic of creatures, provides some life, and decent resilience from removal.

This deck is still in it's early stages, but I would really like to make it strong. Any suggestions are welcome, but I don't want this deck to be just about my walkers, so any cards suggested having to do with proliferate or getting free loyalty have to be good when there are no walkers out.
