The "Explorers of the Deep" Commander deck from the Lost Caverns of Ixalan expansion is a ready-to-play, blue/green (Simic colors) deck focused on Merfolk tribal and +1/+1 counter synergies, with a light "explore" subtheme.
Key Themes & Strategy
Merfolk Tribal: The primary goal is to "flood the board with fish-people" and utilize cards that provide benefits to all Merfolk you control (known as "lords").
+1/+1 Counters: The deck heavily leverages the +1/+1 counter mechanic. Merfolk are intended to grow over time, becoming an overwhelming force.
Explore Mechanic: The deck incorporates the "explore" mechanic, primarily through its main commander. This mechanic allows you to look at the top card of your library and either put it into your hand if it's a land or put a +1/+1 counter on the exploring creature if it's not.
Ramp and Card Draw: The explore mechanic, in combination with other cards in the deck, provides a consistent source of both land ramp and card advantage, ensuring you have the resources to deploy and buff your army.
Main Commander
The primary commander for the deck is Hakbal of the Surging Soul (Legendary Creature - Merfolk Scout). Hakbal's abilities center on the explore mechanic, providing a strong engine for the deck's strategy.
Key Cards (Examples)
Hakbal of the Surging Soul: The face commander, driving the explore and value engine.
Herald of Secret Streams: A key finisher that gives creatures you control with +1/+1 counters unblockable, allowing you to bypass opponents' defenses.
Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca: An alternative commander option included in the deck that can provide card draw, untap effects, or create tokens by tapping Merfolk.
Branching Evolution / Hardened Scales: Enchantments that amplify the +1/+1 counter strategy by increasing the number of counters placed.
Contents
Each ready-to-play deck box contains:
A 100-card preconstructed deck (including 2 traditional foil legendary cards and 98 non-foil cards).
1 foil-etched display commander card.
1 two-card Collector Booster Sample Pack.

1 life tracker.
