Open to suggestions, comments and ideas are welcomed, I am a pretty new magic player, especially new to standard format.

the sphinx is good if you want cards in the graveyard, other than that he might take cards away that you could use elsewhere. go with the benthic giant if you want a hexproof heavy hitter.
master of waves is not going to be good in this deck. he is based off devotion, of which you have none. instead try some seacoast drakes or merfolk. also get the black/blue siren from born of the gods.
instead of opportunity you could use divination. it's cheaper.
try using disperse or voyage's end to get rid of creatures that make it past your counters or kill spells. remember some creatures in the graveyard can be a bad thing. look at some golgari or grave born decks to see what I mean there. time ebb is good too. it will put the creature on top of the library. that brings me to my next point, I am a huge fan of irritating my opponent so try pilfered plans. it mills the opponent and lets you draw. put the creature back on top of the library and then mill them. there are cheaper ways to do this but there is one idea. I see you have Ashiok so there you go.
hope that helps.

That helps a lot thanks! so would it be a good idea to replace the master of waves with 2 seacoast drakes, and 2 sirens? And what do you think would be the best to exchange with a voyage's end? also to exchange with Pilfered plans? because i really like that card haha

i would take out the devour flesh. no sense in giving opponents more life, replace with voyage's end. then put in the pilfered and cut back on the lands. you are @ 40%. 30-35% is what you are looking for. mutavaults? really. 2 swamps and 2 islands instead of those. fetch lands like terramorphic expanse or evolving wilds or something like that is way better.
looks much better. go get 'em!!!!!

first off, i would probably try to pop swan song in there since its a 1 cost counter. since half the creatures right now are enchantments, it would work on them too. woo. second off, he/she has a decktag saying it's standard. there arent any standard fetches right now.
