Thassa, Deep-Dwelling is one of those cards that excited me when I was still sifting through the spoiler season. Her current reincarnation is a 6/5 Legendary Enchantment Creature - God that is Indestructible. 

She has as long as your devotion to blue is less than five, Thassa isn't a creature. And with her single blue mana all you need is 4 more!

She also has this:

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. And this boys and girls is what got me dreaming of Seafoods. I meant my old Seafoods deck that had all sorts of Leviathans and Serpents and Krakens.

One Leviathan in particular came to my mind. Kederekt Leviathan  would interact well with Thassa, Deep-Dwelling in a lock combo that is both risky and delicious. Let us say that you initially  got to cast the Leviathan. Now being able to cast it is nasty enough for everyone on the board as they have to almost begin from scratch. What is worse is that with Thassa, Deep-Dwelling in play you could exile the Kederekt Leviathan and bring it back to splash every non-land permanent on the battlefield back to their respective owners hands. Given that Thassa will be among them and so I go to the risky part. It is not a complete lock and you are giving opponents a glimmer of hope.

You could just keep attacking with the Leviathan on your turn  and on your 2nd main phase cast Thassa again ensuring that the annoying splash bounce would happen all over again.

And the last thing I love about Thassa , Deep dwelling is that with enough mana you could win the game with her with this ability. All you need is to pay 3 colorless and Blue toTap another target creature. And your army of Seafoods could come in for the attack.
