The basic Idea is to get a fathom mage and chasm skulker out. Put +1/+1 counters on the fathom mage in any way possible to draw cards and make big creatures.

Personal favorite combos are Chasm Skulker + Give / Take , Bioshift all counters to the Fathom Mage from Chasm Skulker and Lorescale Coatl for massive card draw and create tons of counters. Arcane Denial was put in because I thought it would be funny with Notion Thief and it helps make my Chasm Skulker bigger. Of course with all this going on there's the added bonus of Corpsejack Menace abuse.

I've tried to make mana accessible quickly so that whatever I draw I will be able to cast speeding up my game to get ahead of my opponents. Explore is there so I don't end up with a ton of lands in hand.
