Giant Shark

Creature — Fish

Giant Shark can't attack unless defending player controls an Island.

Whenever Giant Shark blocks or becomes blocked by a creature that has been dealt damage this turn, Giant Shark gets +2/+0 and gains trample until end of turn.

When you control no Islands, sacrifice Giant Shark.

Went really well, first time builders really favour voltron strategies and so being able to just tap down/freeze their commanders was very effective, but struggled with Nightveil Predator because of hexproof, also huge fan of having the giant "cycle", the 6 mana 4/4 with nega-islandwalk and pseudo-bushido Giant Shark really carried my games hahahahah

MagicMarc I love it! Sometimes I daydream about how, now that double-Strike is a thing, there will be some pro that stuns the world with an Azorious aggro deck with Giant Shark at the helm. One can dream...

I had a set of Giant Shark s in a deck that used Prodigal Sorcerer to trigger their ability before combat. I would chortle like a crazy person while doing it too, I think!

Giant Shark is one of my favorite blue creatures, though it’s tough (especially in blue) to utilize. Great theme, and a fun blast from the past.

I mostly agree with trying out some of the suggestions of the other posters, but I will add that my approach is more similar to Ithyn's suggestion.

Now I have way more decks than most maintain but I will say having various decks at different power levels helps keeps things varied and entertaining for all.

A particular local Spike in fact, realized how brutal his decks had become, and actually started this by making a themey "sea creatures" deck headed by Thassa, God of the Sea and including cards like Giant Shark. He pulls it out when he senses maybe not everyone enjoyed his turn 7 win. The decks are able to win, they just are not so efficiently built. Now lots of players pull out their own similar decks when kids or more newer players appear, or even just when we've had our fill of brutal beatdowns.

Not everyone does this. There's still that guy that runs something like Wasteland.dec and such.

From the title, I thought the deck was going to have Giant Shark in it. Haha
