This deck was originally formed on (of all things) ARENA.... of course that was standard.. so porting it to modern I was seeking to still retain the green portion of the deck will harnessing what modern had to offer.
I deliberately tried to not use aether vial. However spreading sea's synergy with Lord of Atlantis and Master of the pearl trident's island walk ability does pull this deck in a different direction..
I did not use spreading seas as the deck had evasion in the form of unblockables and flying via one with the wind... however spreading seas is very tempting.
One thing that I did not have is main deck echoing truth.... I figured since it was a substandard answer to T2 Hogaak which I think will likely not happen so often, I will take my chances and try to race via evasion. T2 Hogaaks are just part of the meta and are not consistent anyway. at least I am counting on that :p
Spreading seas and aether vial would slow down the deck... a little....
