This is a Casual Arixmethes Commander deck that I threw together with cards I had lying around. It works actually pretty well but I feel it is lacking on some power scale. Let's go over what I want to accomplish with this deck.

Strat #1

The Main strategy of this deck is pretty straight forward as the name may suggest. I want to Ramp into big threats quickly. Get out my Thicc Bois. That is it. I play a decent amount of 1v1 commander and I feel like this works well there but it definitely does not do super well in a multi-player since. By the time that I start getting big creatures out I don't have enough to start killing everyone and normally people turn on my because the see me as a threat. So normally I gotta take it a bit easier and wait timing wise in order to make the most of it, rather than just ramping hard and dropping everything like I do in a 1v1 situation. This deck has a grand total of 16 spells that ramp, 17 if you include arixmethes himself, so I can do it pretty consistently though some of my ramp is not optimized. Budget ways to ramp more effeciently would be appreciated in the comments

Strat #2 My second strategy for this deck which can and usually does happen right along the other strategy is to get out arixmethes, turn him creature with cheap spells quick (or bigger spells slower... Either way) and than use an evasion card to hit for some fat stacks of commander damage

Pretty straight forward

Now there is a decent amount of cards in this deck that I feel like are kinda filler, like I would rather put something else in but I just worked with what I already had. and let me know what cards could replace.

I am trying to make this very flavor oriented on sea creatures but also functional. Any suggestions on budget cards that fit that bill would be appreciated :).
