The main goal of this deck is to land heavy threats thanks to Quest for Ula's Temple . These fatties are either really hard to remove ( Inkwell Leviathan )or that have a strong defensive side ( Scourge of Fleets , Stormtide Leviathan ) helping us even if we lost a lot of life.

In order to trigger our core Quest as fast as possible this decks packs little over 56 % creatures and a few tricks:

Filter and Library manipulation:

• Flooded Strand : Fetching reduces the chances of drawing lands.
• Halimar Depths : Ordering the top 3 cards.
• Omenspeaker : Scry 2.
• Sage of Epityr : Ordering the top 4 cards.
• Silvergill Adept : Helps to draw non-creature cards we know are on top of library thanks to Halimar Depths and Sage of Epityr

Counterspells:

• Cursecatcher
• Voidmage Prodigy : This guys transforms 24 of our creatures in hard counters. Omenspeaker and Sage of Epityr are particularly happy to sacrifice to the cause this way since they are pretty useless outside of their ETB effect.

Bounce:

• Harbinger of the Tides

Threats:

• Stormtide Leviathan : Blocks all non flying attackers, is unblockable and makes Inkwell unblockable as well. 3 turn clock alone.
• Scourge of Fleets : Bounces and beats
• Inkwell Leviathan : 3 turn clock alone, really hard to remove

Others:

• Clockspinning : Makes the Quest pop a turn earlier...
• Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx : In case things go bad this land might help us land our threats.

Combos:

• Archetype of Imagination + Stormtide Leviathan
• Drowner of Secrets + Moonring Island

SIDEBOARD:

• Ambassador Laquatus : Together with Drowner of Secrets Laquatus may give us a chance to mill out a infinite life opponent. Would then probably replace Inkwell Leviathan s.
• Hurkyl's Recall : Against affinity, robots, artifact heavy...
• Tidebinder Mage : A better Harbinger of the Tides against agressive green and/or red matchups

Yeah and that casualometer is broken. It's 1000% casual.

Any ideas welcome!! Help me thin out that maybecards list!!!!

I really can't decide to rule these out:

• Drowner of Secrets : Sends unwanted top card to cemetery. To know what we have to deck there is Halimar Depths , Sage of Epityr and Moonring Island
• Archetype of Imagination : Should I move it mainboard? It's a wizard for Voidemage prodigy and totally locks a creature match-up in this combo: Archetype of Imagination + Stormtide Leviathan .
• Giant Oyster : Could help against a tron deck with only 1 or 2 huge beaters. It is kind of a blue instant speed sword to plowshares that slowly kills the threat. And it is soooo flavourful in this deck.
• Kederekt Leviathan : I cant really lock the game with Stormtide Leviathan if enemy's strategy is based on artifacts, enchantments or a combo win. This guy might then be the only answer even if it bounces our board too...
• Striped Riverwinder : Hard to remove beater that wouldn't be too much of a problem in starting hand since I could cycle him. I couldn't choose him because he has no evade and has no defensive effect.
• Lorthos, the Tidemaker : Optional threat. Could lock the game if enough mana available.
• Mindshrieker : In a more draw-control focused strategy with Moonring Island he could both deny threatening enemy draws and proceed to beat. Not a wizard. I feel he changes to much the goal of the deck and doesn't fit flavour wise.

• Sigiled Starfish : Once replaced Omenspeaker . Not a wizard but gives a scry every turn and fits the flavour of the deck.

• Moonring Island + Drowner of Secrets : this combination also allows us to use a pseudo lantern-control effect. we can then deny our enemies decisive draws.
