Limited cross-faction strategies give these fish access to shield counters from the Brokers and +1/+1 counters off Obscura connive creatures. I'm sure you can put together the rest for Constructed formats. Note that you can't have the fish share counters: in that Limited example, only one Fish can get the +1/+1 counter and only one Fish gets the shield counter. It can even be the same Fish.
(This is going to be the first of many "sleeping with the fishes" references in this set, isn't it?)
The factions have a nice overlap we are seeing in the ally draft cards;
WU- counters for shield counters and +1/+1 counters from connive
UB- Having the 5 different MV in graveyard since you discard with connive and sacrifice with Casualty
BR- Sacrifice matters since you sac creatures with both Casualty and blitz
RG- Teasure matter to help get out blizt creatures and ramp for alliance triggers
Just need GW and only thing I can guess is blink/bounce (resets shield counters and triggers alliance) or maybe token matters (alliance loves creatures and it could make stuff you can put shield counters on)?

MTG normally doesn't just hand us multiple unblockable creatures per card like that. Looks like a great partner for Stoneforge Mystic. Maybe Modern Colossus Hammer Time might even want it? Granted, they already play Shadowspear so they can screw blockers...
Sadly half of the abilities are worthless on a 1/1

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
Commander Mechanic preview? At that MV this looks very Constructed-playable, any random dork with a +1/+1 counter will give you 3 power with unblockable, and any deck that relies on 1-for-1 removal is going to hate playing against this card. I wouldn't be surprised if Historic Auras decks started packing one or two as a very nasty surprise coming in from their SB against decks full of removal.
The art is god awful, but its very silly "fishes" anyway.
3 mana instant speed 2 power "unblockable" is pretty decent still, especially with some counter shenanigans, ending up with at least a +1/+1 counter is already a pretty good deal, getting any other counter is just icing on top.
