Deck discussion for Charybdis

Damn. Way better than my attempt at a Kraken deck :-) I'm gonna steal some idea's from here. Especially Retraction Helix, that's actually a pretty good card for this deck, since it works against enchantments and artifacts as well!

Remind me what Scylla and Charybis was all about again? My Greek mythology isn't what it used to be :-)

Thanks and feel free! This deck started with Scourge of Fleets and rippled out from there.

"Between Scylla and Charybdis." A Greek idiom equivalent to the modern-day "Between a rock and a hard place." The Strait of Messina, off the coast of Sicily, was home to Scylla, a six-headed sea monster living in a cliff face, and Charybdis, a mythical underwater terror who drank the sea three times a day, swallowing ships whole. To escape one, a ship was forced to sail within reach of the other. Odysseus chose to brave Scylla, losing only two sailors in an effort to save the ship from Charybdis. Practically, Scylla was a patch of shoals and Charybdis, a whirlpool created by tides thrice per day.
