Nadir Kraken

hi!
so first thing: your deck's not Modern legal. not that this should deter you, but basically some cards are printed in sets meant for other formats. if you're wedded to Modern, you'll have to make some substitutions. Counterspell instead of Mana Drain, for example.
that said, I'd encourage you to just call it a Casual deck. there's nothing wrong with it. you're not powergaming; for example, Fishliver Oil isn't a gamebreaking card by any means, but it's fun and whimsical. I don't think you're doing any harm to your playgroup by running the cards you're running here, even if a few like Rhystic Study are quite powerful!
is there a big payoff for cards like Temple of the False God and Spreading Seas? That Spreading Seas is a cantrip certainly works well with Nadir Kraken. But it seems to me you don't have any big "I want to sink a lot of mana here" cards in this build. consider substitutions if you're not particularly attached to them!
lastly, consider running snow lands and some fun cards like Icebreaker Kraken and Marit Lage's Slumber. they're good, fun cards, and they fit the flavor of your deck well.
good luck!

Muldrotha Snow: The Frozen Forest
2 years ago
Hey, well done with such a low budget, The Undead Forest is a cool deck name. Interesting deck idea for your first Commander deck with Muldrotha, but why snow? Weathered Runestone completely shuts down Muldrotha.
Marit Lage's Slumber, Jorn, God of Winter Flip, Priest of the Haunted Edge, Blood on the Snow, Ice-Fang Coatl these are some reasons to play snow with Muldrotha. Iceberg Cancrix can repeatable self-mill and that's a good effect with Muldrotha. Pilfering Hawk can be repeatable loot which gets cards into your graveyard. Unfortunately, this isn't many cards.
Draugr Necromancer is a good card with snow, but it doesn't have much interaction with Muldrotha. Dead of Winter is another good card with snow, but Muldrotha is not a snow creature. Narfi, Betrayer King is fine, able to reanimate itself with snow, but he's support for snow not really a reason to play snow.
Some advice to consider is to play nonsnow cards that can put snow-covered permanents (lands) onto the battlefield to meet the snow requirement for snow cards without playing lots of unnecessary snow creatures. The best way to get snow permanents is with snow-covered lands. You really don't need lots of other subpar snow creatures here.
- Frostweb Spider
- Saddled Rimestag
- Zombie Musher
- Frostpeak Yeti
- Grim Draugr
- Rimebound Dead
- Boreal Centaur
- Hailstorm Valkyrie
- Frost Raptor
- Avalanche Caller
- Boreal Outrider
- Frost Augur
All these creatures could be cut to improve your deck.
Instead of playing lots of lesser snow creatures, play just the better snow creatures here?
- Ascendant Spirit
- Iceberg Cancrix
- Ice-Fang Coatl
- Pilfering Hawk
- Priest of the Haunted Edge
- Jorn, God of Winter Flip
- Ohran Viper
- Abominable Treefolk
- Draugr Necromancer
- Icebreaker Kraken
Use other deck slots for cards that can search for and get snow-covered lands onto the battlefield?
- Sakura-Tribe Elder
- Font of Fertility
- Wayfarer's Bauble
- Diligent Farmhand
- Dawntreader Elk
- Springbloom Druid
- Binding the Old Gods
- Khalni Heart Expedition
- Evolving Wilds
- Terramorphic Expanse
Consider adding some spells that are not permanents that can search for and put snow-covered lands onto the battlefield?
- Harrow
- Into the North: can get a snow-covered dual land.
Cards that can get snow-covered lands into your hand as well as get cards into your graveyard can be helpful with Muldrotha.
Could also add some snow mana rocks and mana dorks?
Land ramp for snow-covered lands and mana from mana rocks is more ramp which also helps to cast 6 mana Muldrotha as well as having more mana to cast permanents from your graveyard when you control Muldrotha.
Example of a budget more refined creature base with snow.
- Ascendant Spirit
- Diligent Farmhand
- Dawntreader Elk
- Iceberg Cancrix
- Ice-Fang Coatl
- Lotus Cobra
- Pilfering Hawk
- Priest of the Haunted Edge
- Rime Tender
- Sakura-Tribe Elder
- Satyr Wayfinder
- Sculptor of Winter
- Jorn, God of Winter Flip
- Ohran Viper
- Springbloom Druid
- Abominable Treefolk
- Draugr Necromancer
- Icebreaker Kraken
Good luck with your deck.

Hello! Thank you so much for commenting and sorry for the delay of my answer!
Jackfrost23, I have been considering Hullbreaker Horror. However, since the deck does not interact during the first 3-4 turns, I really need the first sea monster I cheat into play to be either 1) Hard to deal with (Shroud, Hexproof) or 2) Have an immediate impact on the board (Stormtide Leviathan, for example, prevents my opponent from attacking). I am also considering Gyruda, Doom of Depths, Icebreaker Kraken, Rot-Tide Gargantua and Scourge of Fleets for their ETB effect. However, I feel like Hullbreaker Horror would be too slow before using its ability.
wallisface, it would indeed be a fantastic card! A question I have a hard time answering though is "How many?" and "What do I take out?" Any ideas?

SATORU NINJA 'DRAZIES FROM THE BOTTOM NOW WE HERE

Here are some other recommendations if you like:
Unblockables
Nether Traitor, Thalakos Seer, Blighted Agent
Big Boys that aren't Eldrazi
Deep-Sea Kraken, Ancient Stone Idol, Chancellor of the Spires, Devouring Strossus, Denizen of the Deep, Hullbreaker Horror, Icebreaker Kraken, Inkwell Leviathan, Kederekt Leviathan, Leviathan, Nezahal, Primal Tide, Tidespout Tyrant
Since ninjitsu bypasses attack triggers, then cards like Leviathan can actually be semi-viable. Good luck with the new concept, I know that I'm going to be making a ninja demon/kraken deck that should be absurd.

Great commander, unfortunately he's not the first Sea-Monster Tribal commander. Here are my insights from playing Sea-Monster Tribal for many years (One of my favorite decks):
You don't have enough snow-permanents for Icebreaker Kraken. Either cut him or swap in snow lands. If you keep him in, I'd also recommend going all in and adding Dark Depths/Thespian's Stage, Marit Lage's Slumber and Replicating Ring as a strong synergy package that fit your theme. They can be game-winners.
Unless you add a lot of sac outlets or play in a heavy-sacrifice meta, Biolume Egg Flip is a dead card in this deck as the only cards that will allow you to flip it is Living Death and Rot-Tide Gargantua.
Scourge of Fleets in my experience is often a dead card that only works if you include a heavy island-swapping package such as Quicksilver Fountain and Stormtide Leviathan. Otherwise it's mostly a token-killer and there are much cheaper token sweepers than 7cmc for that. I tried running that for a while, but found the island-shenanigans slowed the game and made the deck more annoying than fun for players.
Quest for Ula's Temple, as much as I want to love the card and it's flavor, was a huge miss in my deck with 26 sea monsters. It would often take half the game to go online, and was always removed before it did any value. I'd recommend it only if you include a heavy top-deck manipulation packages such as Scroll Rack.
I'd cut the vampire sub-theme, vampires generally don't synergize well with Sea-Monsters.
Neurok Stealthsuit is a straight upgrade to Whispersilk Cloak for protection, and I've tended to find Thassa, God of the Sea and Deepchannel Mentor have more value for unblockable utility.
Some suggested cards: Reef Worm can quickly get out of hand with Stromkirk. Bident of Thassa can put in some real work when you go wide. Kiora Bests the Sea God is instant value that Stromkirk can later take advantage of. Ominous Seas leans in to blue's draw spells and can be activated at instant speed to make some blockers when you need them. Elder Deep-Fiend is good utility. Extract from Darkness is great recursion for your big CMC monsters or for utility from your enemies graveyards. Gift of Doom is perfect protection for your commander as you can throw one of his tokens at it when it's needed.
