I've enjoyed playing casual games with my sea monster deck Release the Kraken! but I know eventually it's going to turn into a Commander deck so might as well get ahead of the curve and think about exactly what direction I'd like to go with it. Here I can more realistically spend the first few turns setting up with the suite of Simic ramp spells before settling in to wipe everything else off the table with Whelming Waves and massive krakens - true battlecruiser magic. While Koma or Aesi might seem like stronger choices choices to lead the deck, I personally dislike the way they embody the recent trend of Simic commanders and are pretty obnoxious to always have access to. Fine in the 99, but I've played against a Koma deck packing Sakashima/Helm of the Host with counterspells and nobody had fun there. The latest Kiora, while she doesn't help PAY for our big slimy bois, does provide a great PAYOFF for casting them and isn't essential to the deck so being removed isn't a big issue.
