Okay so I'm eating chinese food, my fortune cookie comes, and this is what it says...."How deep would the ocean be without sponges?"
Isn't that freaky??

So I ask, how many sponges are in magic? I could make a sponge deck including a scan of my fortune cookie....And all I get is this!

So unless my deck is about making sure you have no trample.....

I almost entered the two previous rounds of this, but couldn't settle on a deck. I have an idea right away this time, so I might give it a try.

Are Un-cards allowed?

ooo and the mistforms!

Howabout riptide replicator tokens that are sponges? ehhh?

Volrath's Laboratory could produce sponges....just like in the storybooks....funny story: when this card first came out we would make "Your mother's a whore" tokens....this was before the grand creature update made them all humans.

Yes, you must. It is a moral imperative.

I'd hate to burst your bubble but here's part of Streetz' post:

This contest's card theme is:
Build a deck around the name of the deck.

Objective:
Design a 60 card, no sideboard, deck intended to have the name of "How Deep Is The Ocean?" The deck type doesn't matter. What matters is that you make this the coolest deck possible while following the rules of the contest. Whether its originality or combos or whatever.

So take out the sideboard...maybe try to incorporate it in the main deck...i love your deck idea and I honestly don't know how i'm going to beat it.
