A sea monsters budget deck featuring krakens, leviathans, octopuses and serpents! With our big sleepy island Arixmethes as commander. Deck focuses on dishing out plenty of ramps (total of 16-18 ramp cards including our commander) to summon a horde of giant sea monsters for opponents to deal with.

As expected from the most OP color (Simic), lots of value generating cards like Tatvoya, Aesi, Nezahal, Kiora, Quest for Ula's Temple etc that dishes out plenty of card draw and many more. Utility creatures like Goreclaw and Thyrx gives discount to our sea monsters.

Once we summons our horde of sea creatures towering over opponent's creatures, how do we win games? 1. Evasion like hadana's climb, serpent of yawning depths. 2. Trampling over enemies' creatures with Dragon Throne of Tarkir/Overwhelming Stampede/Garruk Uprising. 3. Bouncing back opponents' creatures with whelming wave, Scourge of fleet etc.

Another notable combo is arixmethes + Pemmin's aura freed from real for infinite green mana. We can OHKO an opponent with Pemmin's with a 21/2 flying arixmethes with commander's damage or putting 100 counters on Helix Pinnacle for the win.
