The fact that Unsettled Mariner also counters abilities and not just spells can put a hamper on any sort of enter-the-battlefield effects your opponents might be playing
When the game reaches the later turns and your opponents are sufficiently drained, fire off massive finishers like Gray Merchant of Asphodel or Corrupt to rip huge chunks of health from the table and use Vito's ability as a devastating finishing cannon to knock out the remaining players
Revel in Riches is the most obvious and most powerful as an alternate win condition
Carrion Feeder is nice because he puts counters on himself
