The gameplan is to get our commanders out and steadily grow Ukkima's strength before sacking the wolf whale to deal damage to an opponent to take them out. We can also blink them with Conjurer's Closet/Thassa to do the same thing as killing them. Reyhan and the Ozolith allows us to mess with our counters and save them from vanishing, made even better with Doubling Season, Pir, and Corpsejack. Commander damage is also very, very viable, especially one-shotting with Hatred. Grafted Exoskeleton and Phyresis let us knock out an opponent just by getting Ukkima's power to 10 and either attacking or sacking Ukkima for the infect. And our final win condition is through Simic Ascendancy, especially when Reyhan or the Ozolith get involved.

The build's rather creature-light for now, as I want to mainly focus on my commanders and ramping up to Ukkima when it dies, but I may end up adding a more Ninjutsu-oriented route. And the whole Pod/Food Chain thing is very boring to me, so I'm not going that route.
