AEtherplasm ?

I would cut:

Creepy Doll: An okay deterrent but 5 mana is a good chunk for this effect.

Lorthos, the Tidemaker: Not the best giant sea creature for your deck. Ideally you only pay 2 mana to cast this but then you need 8 mana for its effect. 8 mana would be better spent 95% of the time suspending 4 cards.

AEtherplasm: You have better Jhoira replacement effects already in the deck. You are dependent on your opponents though for this to help you.

Spellbound Dragon: If you own It That Betrays, I'd swap it out for that.

Stormtide Leviathan: This shuts down quite a bit of your own creatures. Unless you go strictly island walk and flying then it should be cut. Also a good swap out for your maybe board Ulamog if you own him.

Knowledge Pool: I love this card. Though, outside of Lavina decks and chaos it isn't that good. Once an opponent steals one of your Eldrazi this feels awful.

Wild Evocation: Not bad. Fits theme but you have quite a few cheating effects outside Jhoira. This one seems more expensive and can sometimes help your opponents more.

Leviathan tribal. Neat.

Blue has a few cute options for cheating stuff into play - and a 'show and tell' style modern deck sounds fun. AEtherplasm offers a more casual trick. Blessed Reincarnation and Polymorph are traditional. Braids, Conjurer Adept is modern legal.Deathrender is usually better in combos, but functions. Flood of Tears and Fold into AEther are cute if awkward. Quicksilver Amulet is a classic, as is Summoner's Egg. Thran Temporal Gateway can do an impression of quicksilver, but is more restricitve.

Good luck with the brew!

gavriel1136 AEtherplasm seems awesome, thanks for that one. I'm not sure about Paradox Haze. It could be good but it seems like it would lose steam quickly and I'm not sure there's a card I could take out to fit it in without losing either crucial card advantage or crucial mana acceleration.

Some suggestions off the top of my head: AEtherplasm to cheat out big creatures, Paradox Haze to double your own upkeep triggers

Quicksilver Amulet and Natural Order could be some additional cheat in cards. AEtherplasm is a pretty cheeky card too but would require your opponents to attack you. Dramatic Entrance can also be fun but most of these cards don't play well with Primal Surge

I dunno, that Loyal Drake doesn't look much like a starfish or crab...

It may seem innocuous but Sand Squid has always overperformed in my seamonster decks. Coral Capers -- (Budget Seamonsters) was the original with Thassa (which you've seen) but I morphed the deck into Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle (Tidal Trouble).

I had AEtherplasm in my mono-blue deck and it was quite good. Looks a bit like a jellyfish so that's a plus.

I always ran into issues where I would finally have enough ramp or Quicksilver Amulet out to do stuff but because I was open all through the early game I wouldn't have the life to realize my kraken dreams. Fog Bank , Guard Gomazoa , Gomazoa , Spiny Starfish , Wall of Kelp , and Wall of Frost are all good and on-theme, as well as helpful for Thassa's devotion.

Two suggestions.

AEtherplasm This will help a lot with getting your high cmc creatures on the field.

Loyal Drake The best part about having an indestructible commander is having any creature with Lieutenant.
