I'm proud to present the first deck on tappedout built around kiora, the crushing wave: Kiora's army of 9/9 krakens.

To celebrate the release of the first simic-colored plainswalker (and because I want to shamelessly steal your ideas on how to play it), I'm announcing my first challenge: Build a deck around Kiora, the Crashing Wave .

Rules:

• Kiora, the Crashing Wave has to be included in the way the deck works. You can't just take any simic-colored deck and add one copy without using it.
• Your deck may be standard, modern or legacy.
• You may include blue, green and if you like, one additional color. Hybrid symbols are allowed if they are partially of one of the chosen colors.
• Symbols from abilities' costs that are of a different color than the chosen colors don't disqualify a card, and if they are paid with an "any color" mana source, the abilities are allowed to be used.
• Your deck may not cost more than 250$, the average cost counts. Make sure you add in and mention the cost of cards that are missing in the TCGplayer calculation.
• You may submit only one deck and not alter it once it's submitted. Submit a copy of the original deck if you want to go on tweaking after your submission.
• The deck needs a clear description. If you have some pity for the judge, make it brief but exhaustive, and include an example of optimal performance as well as important interactions.
• Entries are accepted until the first of February, The evaluation process will take some time after that.
• I'm not participating in the competition. I've got to be neutral.

What's in for you?

• The top two entries in each format get a feature token and upvotes on their entry and on a deck of their choice.
• The ranks 3, 4 and 5 get upvotes on their entry and on two decks of their choice.

Judgement Day

Who's the Judge? You all are! Okay, actually it's me who makes the final judgement, but I'll let the score and the comments on the decks guide me a lot in that decision.

Have fun building!
