Deck Description

Thought I'd have some fun with leviathans; there's a bit of air power to stave off flying attacks and eventually capitalize on Stormtide Leviathan's abilities. I threw in a few spells to ensure that opponent flyers don't become a problem, leaving islandwalk as the only alternative for creature attack.

There are three strategies I had in mind for getting Stormtide & Co. on the field: 1) Sheer mana, 2) Quest for Ula's Temple, and 3) Momir Vig. The fourth potential strategy would be using proliferate to on the Ula's Temples, hence the sideboard. The way I figured it, Ula's Temple relies on creatures for the counters, so I needed to make sure I had enough to get the counters on relatively quickly. However, Momir Vig allows me to use green creatures to search for a card and place it on top of my deck and blue creatures to take the card from the top of my deck to my hand; the rules state that a blue/green creature triggers both abilities at once (hence Trygon Predator and Cold-Eyed Selkie). The creatures thus allow me to at least put counters on Ula's Temple and potentially stick a Stormtide straight in my hand, to then be played for no cost. All the creatures also have islandwalk or flying, meaning that when Stormtide comes out, my offense won't be affected.

I also figured that if all lands will be islands, I might as well capitalize and give myself more mana with TCarpet of Flowers, and more health with Thoughtleech and Roots of Life (which I included for the odd black deck this would end up against).
