Thassa, Deep-Dwelling

Legendary Enchantment Creature — God

Indestructible

As long as your devotion to blue is less than five, Thassa isn't a creature.

At the beginning of your end step, exile up to one other target creature you control, then return that card to the battlefield under your control.

[[symbol:3]: Tap another target creature.

Hey there! This is a solid list, and the custom categories are great! I have little to add here, besides some minor qualms. Well done.

Not convinced by:

Nullmage Shepherd might be better as just a Krosan Grip, since it's sorta a non-bo with your strategy of tapping creatures.

Draining Whelk should really just be a Counterspell.

Thassa, Deep-Dwelling doesn't seem all that useful here. Rishkar, Peema Renegade for extra support maybe?

I'd consider the following draw options too: Collective Unconscious, Shamanic Revelation, Regal Force, Inspiring Call, Tishana, Voice of Thunder, Distant Melody

Undercity Informer and Balustrade Spy are pioneer legal, which combined with a low land count can empty the deck very fast. Pioneer 'Belcher' was my take on it, but Its been a long time since those first few weeks of the format.

Thassa's oracle makes such lists a lot, lot better. Between oracle, Stitcher's Supplier and Balustrade Spy, you might even want to lean to flicker effects - Displace, Illusionist's Stratagem or Thassa, Deep-Dwelling, which opens up etb value cards as a maindeck plan.

1. Sire of Stagnation fits the landfall theme. He's straight gas and draws 8 cards off 1 opposing fetchland.

2. Consider adding some more creature removal in the form of Ravenous Chupacabra or Shriekmaw.

3. Thassa, Deep-Dwelling will further help you abuse ETB effects each turn. Bounce Ravenous Chupacabra each turn to keep the battlefield clear, draw 2 extra cards per turn with Baleful Strix, put 2 more lands in play with Wood Elves, or continuously wipe the opposing board with Massacre Wurm.

4. I'm seeing a lack of tutors with this deck. I imagine some are too expensive like Demonic Tutor and Vampiric Tutor, which are amazing. Others in the form of Rune-Scarred Demon, Fierce Empath, Woodland Bellower really help the deck find pieces and continue to accelerate their board state without sacrificing anything. Btw, Bellower can find Empath.

5. Bojuka Bog provides graveyard interaction without affecting consistency. Swap it out for a swamp.

For a budget build, this has a majority of the pieces needed to be competitive.

Other cheap options to include:

1. Get the bounce lands out of the manabase. Returning 2 lands to hand is not what this deck wants to be doing.

2. Command Tower and Bojuka Bog should definitely be in this manabase.

3. Mulldrifter and Shriekmaw are great utility spells for this deck. They also trigger Risen Reef.

4. Woodland Bellower combos with Fierce Empath. Nab Empath + Wood Elves to net 2 lands, Deadeye Navigator, and another fattie. This nets 6 cards off 1 creature cast.

5. Thassa, Deep-Dwelling will help you further abuse ETB effects. Not exactly dirt cheap, but definitely a staple this deck wants.

6. Sol Ring belongs in nearly every commander deck. This deck is no exception.

7. You're going to want a few extra early turn mana acceleration. Sylvan Ranger, Farseek, and Cultivate are good options to accelerate your mana early turns.

1. Bojuka Bog provides great graveyard synergy without affecting synergy. Great for multiplayer.

2. Sire of Stagnation is straight gas and draws 8 cards off 1 opposing fetchland.

3. I like Sylvan Ranger over Sakura-Tribe Elder in its slot. If you're milling yourself, pulling 2 lands into your hand is better than 1 to me. I played a ton of Dredgevine in Modern over the years, so I appreciate this kind of acceleration.

4. Mulldrifter and Shriekmaw make for great utility cards, no matter what kind of Yarok build. They also both trigger Risen Reef.

5. Ramunap Excavator lets you play lands from your graveyard, which could help build a board state from the graveyard.

6. Thassa, Deep-Dwelling will help you bounce creatures to further abuse ETB effects.

You have some landfall cards in this deck (or similar effects) like Tatyova, Benthic Druid, Rampaging Baloths, etc... I'd recommend switching the signets for things like Farseek, Kodama's Reach, etc... more landfall triggers. Plus, lands are harder to interact with than artifacts.

Some other really good cards for this deck are Thassa, Deep-Dwelling, Sire of Stagnation, Birthing Pod, and Avenger of Zendikar. They might be a tad pricy, but they really make the deck churn.

Thassa, Deep-Dwelling as a second copy of Conjurer's Closet. If you run Extraplanar Lens you should swap your islands to Snow-Covered Island so as not to give the other blue players a mana advantage as well. I'd recommended against running Dissipation Field as I find it has opposite the intended effect and incentivizes your opp's to attack you so they can re-cast/etb for value.

Hy fmastrome2008, thanks for your suggestions, i really appreciate it.

1. I played Shriekmaw for a long time, but in my group almost everyone plays black. But yeah, i didn't noticed the Risen Reef trigger and i think risen is one of the best cards in the deck, so thank you!

2. Same for Sire of Stagnation, he is not that good without some fetches, thats why he didn't make the cut.

3. Thassa, Deep-Dwelling will be added soon, but i will wait because i think she may get a little cheaper (i'm a budget player).

4. I will add Prime Speaker Vannifar, thanks for that advise, you are right!!

Best regards, Bastian
