"Kumena stepped onto the Immortal Sun and took that power, his power. The ground shifted beneath him, and his perspective shifted with it.

He was vast, all-encompassing. The shaping magic he dedicated his life to mastering now seemed a fraction of what he was capable of, the digging of children in the sand. He could feel all of Orazca and beyond. What fools the River Heralds had been, to let this power sit unused!"

The Goal of the Deck

The concept here is simple: quickly build up a powerful legion of fishy folks (low cost creatures, token generation, ramp, and card draw), give them the tools and support they need to operate as an army (lords, utility, and protection), overwhelm any opposition with minimal resistance (islandwalk, and unblockable), and all the while, maintain control of the flow of battle.

My Choices and The Card Breakdown

Mana Production and Ramp- The Merfolk Legion- Islandwalk Enablers- Drawing Into Our Resources- Utility and Control-

The Deck's History

Kumena was the very first commander I had ever built a deck for in the format. Merfolk and aquatic beasts have always been of great interest to me, so merfolk tribal felt like a no-brainer as my first step into EDH. The Tyrant of Orazca did not disappoint. Years later, this still reigns as one of my favorite decks.
