It will help you survive being aggressive, and triggers a few other cards in the deck
Thassa, God of the Sea seems like it would be great in a go-wide merfolk deck, and it does have a place there because its activated ability helps with Coastal Piracy types of effects
Thunder Lasso has a strong effect and can win some games, yet I think the stats it adds to the board are small and thus it is unlikely for me to see this perform significantly better than a 3 mana 3/3 creature - and that is in addition to the fact that sometimes you wont be controlling a creature and the Lasso ends up being an effective mulligan in those games
The goal of the deck is to play creatures and slap counters on them with cards like Maester Seymour then reward you for doing so, drawing you cards with Bred for the Hunt, giving them keywords with Sphere Grid, or protecting them with Inspiring Call, all while your creatures to continue to grow and bash in for more damage
However, some stand out more than others, and, as someone who is always attracted by pretty art, I cant help but have some favorites
