Plagon, Lord of the Beach is here to conquer the sandbars and your Commander pod.

The more cards you have, the better opportunities you will have with Arcanis The Omnipotent.

Check out how to build this deck in MTG.

The Wizard Starfish, Plagon, riding a sea Turtle and casting bubbles around some key cards in the deck.

Whenever it comes into play, youdraw one card for each creature you control with higher toughness than power.

But you shouldalways have a backup planin case your opponents counter it or otherwise Stifle its ability.

Just remember to limit it to once per turn for maximum effect.

Both techniques also cause targeted removal spells to fizzle, and can get around some boardwipes.

Ephemerate is the most cost-effective flicker, since you get the effect twice for just one white mana.

Using Soulherder with Felidar Guardian or Restoration Angel gives you an extra +1/+1 counter on Soulherder for free.

The Battle of Bywater has gone largely unnoticed, but it’sa perfect fit in this deck.

For three mana, it destroys all creatures with power greater than two.

Better yet,it gives you a pile of Food tokens based on how many of your creatures survive.

Creatures tend to be symmetric, with the same power and toughness.

The high number of flicker effects gives youa good reason to include Preston, the Vanisher.

Don’t forget that exiling an opponent’s creature counts for growing your Soulherder!

Preston, the Vanishergoes, infinite with either Restoration Angel or Felidar Guardian.

A nasty surprise isStoneskin, which would make a measly 0/2 Ornithopter hit like a truck.

Or toss it on Plagon to deal massive commander damage.

Pair it with Refuse to Yield to hit harder than any Starfish has ever hit before.
