Inspired from the Crab Rave meme I saw on MTG Rocks with Horseshoe Crab and Cryptolith Rite for infinite dancing loop. An obvious win would be swinging with Wake Thrasher but sounds too good to be true.

I tried to keep the crab theme as much as I could because it's just a casual deck for fun and because this way I kept it on a budget with all these pinchers in my pocket.

Zaxara or Gyre Engineer can produce infinite mana with Freed from the Real to take someone's entire library with Villainous Wealth or mill everyone out with Mind Grind.

Several X spells to use Zaxara's ability.

Counterspells and other spells to control a little bit.

Tutors like Traverse the Ulvenwald or Mythos of Brokkos to find your things.

Generally I want to keep it budget or with cards I already own.

Mana base obviously can get much better.

Any suggestions are welcome! Perhaps switching cards from the maybe-board or altogether different.
