Umm, I'm not sure how to put this... Crimson tide is an expression for a woman's "time of the month". o_O Seriously.

It's also a time when the sea turns red from algae and plankton and such...

That may be true, and I hope that that is what the judge who named the deck meant, but most people above a certain age associate that term with something else.
Edit:  trust me, I'm not trying to be inappropriate, just letting you know that it is a slang term in English. I do realize that there is a real Crimson tide, even a movie and a sports team. But I think you might have a hard time getting that deck name published.

Wow, pretty solid deck! Although is there any strategy besides just beatdown?

Not really. It's aggro control. The combo I built the deck around was {Mirran Crusader} and {Curse of Stalked Prey}. Every time he hits he gets 2 +1/+1 counters.
