Can I ask why you decided to add the keys?

Was working with more artifacts at first. Missed those before I posted. Removed.

I don't know what to say other than that this theme in an EDH deck makes me smile. I love it.

I'm not sure how the strength of sea creatures will hold up (that depends on your meta more than anything else) but I know Mentos, the Freshmaker himself is a true beast. Kraken-type creatures also scare people, especially {Deep-Sea Kraken}. {Tidal Kraken}, too.

If you want to get really silly, bring {Marjhan} to the party to eat people's attackers (4x as funny when you aren't involved in the current attack at all and CHOMP you tap your mana for a snack)

Bringin' dat Homelands swag!

But seriously, sweet deck. It's good to see cool decks in edh instead of stupid "I combo out in a multiplayer game on turn three and and win" type deck

I agree. Fun deck. It does suck to play against someone who wins on turn three in EDH. I have a friend who mills himself turn three and wins. No fun at all.

How does he do that?

I don't know the exact combo he uses. He gets infinite mana. But the way he wins is with: {Laboratory Maniac}, {Azami, Lady of scrolls} {intruder alarm}. He pretty much gets infinite mana, plays Azami and a bunch of wizard which is his entire deck. Draws cards in till he finds the Maniac, than draws his entire deck.
