      2. Fblthp, the Lost

      7. Meteor Golem

   6. Here there be Pirates, yarr!
      1. Note: Thassa is worded as follows: “At the beginning of your end step, exile up to one other target creature you control, then return that card to the battlefield under your control.” This means that you get to keep anything you blink

      3. Chamber of Manipulation
      4. Agent of Treachery
      5. Sower of Temptation (repeatable with Thassa, given enough turns)
