The colossal denizens of the deep in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering occupy a strange design niche. They often have large stats, high mana values, and since they're usually blue creatures, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:blue isn't supposed to get large creatures easily, they often come with drawbacks. That's a lot working against them, but not enough to turn Commander players away from giant sea creature decks.

Krakens, Leviathans, Octopuses and Serpents, despite being different creature types, are usually lumped together on the same support cards. 'KLOS,' as some players call the grouping, has received deliberate support over the years, with multiple commanders dedicated to these oceanic beasts. Merfolk sometimes get lumped into this category too, but they're small fish by comparison.

10 Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy 🎀

Teach A Human To Fish

Kinnan's more of an all-purpose big-creature-loving commander than one that's specifically in tune with KLOS (Krakens, Leviathans, Octopi, and Serpents) creatures. However, Kinnan brings two things to the table:

• One, Kinnan supercharges your mana and gets you closer to casting your expensive sea creatures.
• Second, that activated ability reliably sneaks huge creatures into play at instant speed.

Be warned though, Kinnan has a bounty on his head. This is a well-known commander, viable in competitive Commander even, so don't expect your opponents to shrug it off. Get your 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:mana accelerants on board first, then cast Kinnan; don't run him out exposed on turn two.

9 Jalira♏, Mast♌er Polymorphist

Not Your Average Sea Creature Commander

Jalira’s puts a unique spin on this strategy and masks your true intent… at least until the first Kraken of Serpent hits the battlefield. This commander takes 🍌some d🐬eckbuilding finesse though.

The goal is to fill your deck with nothing but KLOS creatures, then find creative ways to get tokens on board to feed Jalira’s ability. Invasion of Segovia is a perfect example: It creates Kraken tokens, so it’s already synergistic, and it makes fodder for Jalira, but it’s not a creature card, so this otherwise subpar hit won&rs🅠quo;t ever be the card you find with Jalira’s ‘polymorph’ ability.

8 M🌺orophon, The Boundless​​​​ 💖

Always In The Conversation

The ever🐷yman typal legend, Morophon, the Boundless houses any creature type that doesn’t have a specific legendary creature dedicated to it already. The problem is, Morophon supports only one type at a time, so that means cutting some letters out of KLOS.

Another issue: There’s a grand total of six non-blue creatures with the KLOS typings, so Morophon’s cost reduction and flexibility as a f168澳洲幸运5开奖网:ive-color commander mostly goes to waste. It does mean you have unlim🐓ited access to typal support across all colors though, so it’s not a complete wash.

7 Slinn Voda, The Rising Dee🌃p 🥂

Will The Real Slinn Voda Please Stand Up?

Slinn Voda’s probably not your first choice for a sea creature commander given how expensive it is just to cast. That’s eight mana minimum, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:ten with kicker if you want it to have any real impact on the game. Imagine it dies or gets countered; you✅’re looking at 12 mana the second time you cast it from the command zone.

That being said, if a kicked Slinn Voda does resolve, it usually puts the KLOS deck in an o💦verwhelming winning position.That is, unless you got paired up against Merfolk, since Slinn Vo🅷da shelters them with the rest.

6 Koma, Cosm💯os Serpent ꧑

Don't Worry, It's Just My KLOS Koma Deck...

Koma's sacrifice ability synergizes with Serpents specifically, but calling Koma a 'sea creature commander' is a bit misleading. It's technically true, but Koma's such a self-contained powerhouse of a creature that any synergies with it are more or less moot.

You might run a few extra Serpents in your Koma deck, but Koma builds its own army of tentacled terrors without assistance. Since Koma triggers on every player's upkeep, you'll make four Koma's Coils per turn cycle in a four-player game, and being uncounterable and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:indestructible on a whim almost always makes it the scariest cꦯreature in play.

5 🅺 Brinelin, The Moon Kraken

An Elf Druid's Best Friend

Brinelin doesn't advertise itself as a KLOS commander, but the reward for casting high mana value spells seems like a nod to the fact that Brinelin's a Kraken and other sea creatures tend to be expensive to cast. This would be questionable on its own, but thankfully Brinelin's good at making friends.

Brinelin's most common partner is Gilanra, Caller of Wildwood, a mana dork that also cares about casting expensive spells. This unlikely duo combines your KLOS creatures with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:green's ample ramp options, making it easier to cast your expensive creatures ahead ಞof curve.

4 A👍rixmethes, Slumbering Isle ඣ

A Real Snoozer

Four-mana 12/12 that double-ramps? Seems reasonable. Thankfully the slumber counters keep it in check for a few turns. It only takes five spells to release the Kraken, after which it's two hits or a single double-strike trick away from killing a player with commander damage.

Affectionately dubbed 'Eric Matthews' by players, Arixmethes fits the mold of a KLOS deck perfectly. It's great when the commander shares the creature type your deck cares about, and the mana bump it provides helps cast those over-priced Octopuses and Leviathans, which in turn get Arixmethes closer to waking up.

3 🦹 Kenꦅessos, Priest Of Thassa

Thassa's Right-Hand Scry-Guy

WotC kind of knows the sea creature archetype isn’t really that good, that’s why all of its support cards are pushed on power level. Take Kenessos, for example, who can put them directly into play for a reasonable mana investment. This would be a much less believable card if it said Dragon or Demon on it instead.

Kenessos also has the distinction of being one of the few “Scry commanders” in Magic. Improving your Scry effects makes the activated ability more consistent, but also just amplifies your ability to dig through your deck at no ꧟extra cost.

2 ꦏ Runo Stromk✨irk//Krothuss, Lord Of The Deep

Big Set-Up, Huge Payoff

Runo’s in a weird spot since it’s none of the relevant KLOS creature types itself, isn’t particularly good on its own, and adding black doesn’t give you access to any additional KLOS creatures of note. You’d much rather have Krothuss in your command zone without 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:jumping through all the hoops, but you’ve gotta go through Runo first.

Of course, you don’t even need to run the sea creature gambit for K🌺rothuss to work, it just pays you off immensely if you do. Notably, tokens created by 🐭Krothuss don’t go away, so those extra Leviathans and such are there to stay.

1 Kiora, Sovereign Of The Deep 𝐆

Desparked Kiora, As On-Theme As Ever

In 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the events of March of the Machine, many of Magic’s favorite 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:planeswalkers lost their sparks 🔴and become ordinary beings. Bad news for them, good news for anyone who wanted to play their favorite planeswalker character as the commander of their deck.

Kiora&rsq𒉰uo;s always been associated with Krakens and Octopuses, but Sovereign of the Deep is the first Kiora card that can go in the command zone, at least in regular Commander. It’s also quite the reward for leaning into the theme, cascading each sea creature you 🌼cast from your hand into [hopefully] another from your deck.
