Ramp and cast big sea creatures, using your commander as a threat as well as ramp.\n\n**Strategy:**\n\nIn playtesting I have won most often through the sheer size of [[Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle]] due to commander damage, however we have plenty of big sea creatures with evasion that can bring the pain too.\n\n**Wincons:**\n\nThe primary win condition for this deck is combat damage with large sea creatures.\n\nJust for fun, you can also draw your entire library with [[Ominous Seas]] and [[Greater Good]].\n"}]}
