This was a card idea I had for my Lovecraftian set. It started with the idea of a slowly growing mass of tentacles, and then I threw in a little of Feasting Troll-King for recursion since its a rare. Might need to tweak CMC and base p/t for balance?
Shadowed Devourer 3BB
Creature - Squid Horror (R)
At the beginning of each end step, create a 1/1 blue Tentacle creature token for each non-token creature you controlled that died this turn.
Shadowed Devourer gets +1/+1 for each Tentacle your control.
Sacrifice three Tentacles: Return Shadowed Devourer from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped. Activate this ability only during your turn.
1/2
I don't plan on Tentacles being a major theme like Food or Clues, but I figured at least one or two other cards for some synergy in limited would be interesting.
Teeming Deep 4U
Sorcery (U)
Create a 1/1 blue Tentacle creature token for each instant and sorcery card in your graveyard.
Draw a card.
I'm inclined to push it a little more, making it a 2/2 or a 2/3 at base. Needs work to be good. It does have a lot of potential if you can make it work though. Slightly dangerous effects in terms of the risks of unfun/unhealthy gameplay I think. Would need to be tested a good deal to help avoid that.
Yeah, I was wondering myself if a toughness pump would be doable. Right now it plays to a "cast after trading a bunch of creatures" strategy", but i think making it a 2/3 is probably good since you cannot always set that situation up.
I think you could get away with Shadowed Devourer being a 0/7 or something that scales up only power, and also gives you 1/1 for opponent's creatures that die.
I agree with Krypt on this one. Needs more than it is right now. Only 2/3 or whatever you have it at now for 5 Mana is such a small size. Needs a redo.
