Map the ocean with Hakbal to find the titanic.

A LOT of the deck turns around 2-3 cards that aren't fetchable in these colors so it is important to explore to find you combo piece and draw lands to never skip a land drop.

The Explore mechanic is pretty forward. You look at your top card, if it is a land, you put it in your hand, if it is not a land, you decide to put it back on top OR graveyard AND put a +1+1 on the creature exploring.
Important to note that before your creatures explore, you have to decide the order they do so. So chose accordingly on who you want to boost.

To put it simply, you need to get some Merfolks out before you get Hakbal out, so you can benefit the Explore to its maximum.
