“We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.” ― H. P. Lovecraft.

Beneath the waves and in your nightmares, the creatures of deep dwell, first consuming your mind, an then, the worlds they habit. This Lovecraft inspired sea creature deck forms around the synergy presented in cards such as Whelming Wave and Serpent of Yawning Depths. The lower end of the curve, as is common in Lovecraftian works, is inhabited by fish people: The sworn harbingers of the dreaming behemoths. Otherwise, this deck is a rather classic Simic-battlecruiser, that has all the ramo and card draw you could ever want.

Note: In our local play group we have banned Sol Ring, so if you want to copy this deck, you might want to include it.
