Yours is a great attitude to see in this format. I'm glad you're finally going to make the deck, and hope you enjoy the hell out of it.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the positivity guys. I can't wait to trim my decklist down to 100 and finally post it here I'm really excited for it, definitely my favorite deck I've made!
In reference to "ocean exploration theme" .. Kruphix has dominion over the potential, the distant, and the unseen. He also governs navigation.
So this seems to fit in with lore theme, and his main oracle is Kydele.
Obviously Thrasios and Kydele can work together nicely for mana and card advantage.
Oh absolutely. Kydele is presently in the deck, but not partnered, since I don't like to do that. The issue is, despite re-visiting the deck several times today, I've only managed to cut it down from 132 cards to 120. So a lot of cards will need to be cut. Which really pains me. I'll just post the inflated list here, so people can see my vision. But obviously, at 126 cards, this is NOT the final draft.
I am looking to cut 6 creatures to get down to an even 30, and I may cut all of the Ixalan flip cards exceptSearch For Azcanta, since that one is the one most on theme. Realms Uncharted is so flavorful, but it's also somewhat awkward to lose lands, so I may drop it and streamline the mana base better, although I do like playing all these quirky lands. It breaks my heart to say it but cards like Halimar Excavator may have to go.
