Really enjoy the concept of the deck. I think you have, if you pardon the terrible pun, an untapped potential that can be added to your deck.

Untap mechanics can accelerate your own card tap abilities, and give you the rare opportunity to tap an opponent creature multiple times per turn. There's several that I found worth suggesting:

I like the theme, and I think a lot of cards are in place to make a great and fun deck. I would take out a number of creatures in here and replace them with additional copies of Stinging Lionfish and Wavebreak Hippocamp

Riptide Turtle is pretty great in here because is can trigger those cards along with your instants.

a few other cards to consider could be Eat to Extinction Murderous Rider Drown in the Loch Nadir Kraken

I've always found Merfolk Trickster to be a very valuable two-drop and flash fits with some of the stuff here. I also think Wavebreak Hippocamp could be huge in tandem with Stinging Lionfish and Verity Circle also It might be nice to have a bit more disruption (counters, a bit more removal) because that is a huge resource for blue that feels yet untapped, otherwise love the theme! +1

So, if this is a more paper standard, best of three type deck, good card advantage that's cheaper than the cloudkin seer is Omen of the Sea and if you need alternate wincons, try taking out up to two copies of the Unsummon and replace it with some Octoprophet (3/3 for 4 and scrys 2. subjectively better than the cloudkin), Thassa's Oracle , or possibly a seven drop in Kiora Bests the Sea God . I am working on a mono blue devotion deck, and the Altar of the Pantheon is a really good ramp and lifegain source for this. I am also running only one Serpent of Yawning Depths instead of two, and instead 4 Thassa, Deep-Dwelling . Im used to playing mono blue and dimir artifacts or stompy more than anything in Bo3 and Bo1. If you really want that Stinging Lionfish to be a value engine, why not think about some Verity Circle for card draw. Id play 2 or 3 max and then nothing but instants and cantrips like you already have. I would also rather run Wavebreak Hippocamp over cloudkin. Dunno why I dislike the card so much, but I do.
