Clearly needs better than just basic lands. For milling lands, how about:

Ipnu Rivulet

Nephalia Drownyard

Duskmantle, House of Shadow

Last_Laugh on Does WotC Still Support Defensive …

I feel like WotC learned not to fill the standard format with too much in the line of defense around the time of RTR standard.

Esper Drownyard at that time could successfully run 0 creatures and instead relied on Nephalia Drownyard to mill you a whopping 3 cards at a time. I've never had a more miserable experience in mtg than facing down a deck that was quite literally full of removal, boardwipes, and counterspells...

For your lands you could look at the Kamigawa Legendary lands like Minamo, School at Water's Edge and Shizo, Death's Storehouse.

As well as the Eldrain Castles (although these are definitely not ship-themed) like Castle Vantress and Castle Locthwain.

Nephalia Drownyard is on-theme, but not that useful.

Moonring Island is somewhat more useful and also on-theme.

Karn's Bastion isn't particularly on-theme, but definitely helps the -1/-1 synergy.

Witch's Clinic might be another land to consider, although not really on-theme.

Aside from lands, Crush of Tentacles, Ominous Seas, Bident of Thassa and Retreat to Coralhelm might be nice. Not too boat-themed, but still very much sea-themed.

Lastly I have two on-theme cards I personally enjoy a lot in my Sea-Creatures tribal, but aren't that good, nor really boet-themed, but I'm giving them anyway: Sigiled Starfish and Purple-Crystal Crab.

Interesting deck, but it seems like you have far too few win conditions, or at least efficient win conditions while far too much control. Of a sort.

Nephalia Drownyard only works if you have infinite turns and gets shut off if opponents are running shuffle titans (which you could exile with Jester's Cap or many other cards but you see my point. Darksteel Reactor isn't a good win condition either, considering you only have 6 counterspells. One non-creature based artifact removal kills that and it's unlikely that you've drawn a counterspell or kept it. You do have a land that gets it back but your opponents have still reset your win condition.

40 lands is still excessive tho, you could comfortably drop that to 37. Competitive decks run like 34.

And while you have 7 mana rocks, Chromatic Orrery is a horrifyingly bad card for this deck. Extremely expensive cmc, you have so much card draw that the activated ability should never be relevant. There's so much card draw that you should be able to mana fix just fine with your good mana base so the mana fixing ability is also never relevant.

It really just feels while your deck wants to make sure that your opponents don't have win conditions, your own win conditions are pretty weak. This stalls out the game and tends to make people really annoyed at you.

Also, you're an Oloro, Ageless Ascetic deck and you running basically no lifegain. At the very least that should be a bit more prominent just for easy draw.

I do not understand your budget either. Is your deck proxied or is this just a theoretical/Cockatrice deck? Because you have both a The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale a Moat but you're also running a Scour from Existence It's totally fine if you have, I'm just curious.

Otherwise this deck stuffs decks that want to go for a specific combo, never really seen that before.

Seems fun, don't take my criticism personally, I've done my best to make it objective.

Have a wonderful day.

This one would have made it if it wasn't so expensive at the time.

Deck seems slow, you need a lock piece. Something like a couple wraths or, if you can possibly afford it, Ensnaring Bridge is insane.

What you need is more board interaction, like Fatal Push or even just Cast Down, and some untapped duals. Choked Estuary is okay, River of Tears might help. Just lands that can ener untapped, regardless of how often, will increase this decks power by a lot.

On top of that, I'd use 4x Ipnu Rivulet and 1-2x Nephalia Drownyard. They're both okay but Rivulet is a free roll and Drownyard is a little less so.

For my mill deck it has been hard to decide whether to use Nephalia Drownyard or Ipnu Rivulet.
