Oh, we did get two Kraken Horrors in this set. Works on both ends of the mana spectrum with cheap cantrips a la Storm, or the sea monsters-type beaters.
Why is the spell one you do not control? To make it easier on mtga? Or to make it require 2 0 drops to get infinite storm count? The latter could have been done by saying another, which seems nicer somehow.

I was finalizing sea monster choices for Runo Stromkirk when this got spoiled, and wow, I think this just replaces Brinelin, the Moon Kraken as this is a mana cheaper, has another point of power, is modal, and has no restriction on the cast trigger lol. I like this a lot and look forward to using it in Runo and Orvar, the All-Form as well
Holy THASSA is this precious sea puppy my SWEET LOVEABLE BABESH
I shall bulldoze through every individual in my path on my journey to acquiring such an adorable addition to my FAVORITE DECK
Damn am I shivering with gleeeeee :D! RIGHT NOW
YES! I thought that awful Runo vampire would end up being the only Kraken Horror in this set, with nothing to represent the other horrors of Innistrad's depths BUT HERE IS MY CHARMING PRECIOUS SEA PUP NOW
EFFECT is so remarkable as well, adding some stealthy and tricky plays with my slithery wet pets <3~!
I WILL PLAY BOTH THIS *AND* Binelin for the record, both of which I ADORE
How DARE anyone compare these beauties? Redundancy is the heart of sea monster purity
Granted no Sulti legend for sea monsters yet, but this shall do for now to tide me over PUN INTENDED
Thassa is pleased
OH AND I HOPED THE ARTIST FROM THING IN THE ICE WOULD BE THE ARTIST FOR THE KRAKEN HORROR OF THE SET AND HE WAS INDEED!
WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY! JUST PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT!
Pretty decent kraken. That's unusual. ALmost strictly better than tidespout tyrant
I find it weird that this doesn't synergize too much with Krothuss, but still is a good creature for sea monster EDH

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
It even bounce spells back. In a dedicated instant/flash deck this big guy do wonders!
It also confers some interaction to sea monster decks, which mine desperately needed, so it is excellent. So in response to a spell I wish to delay, I could flash this in, resolve it, then cast another spell on the stack, and bounce the original spell?

Significantly superior IMO. One mana less, less color intensive, cannot be countered, flash, and effectively counters spells in a sense (even in Lier decks)or bounces permanents, and superior stats. Card is all around superior.
For those who missed it, the kraken has thirteen claws (not counting the possible two fins just coming out of the water and the four tiny things on its head).
I've been looking for new toys for the end game in my Historic Jeskai Torrential Gearhulk deck. Maybe with this I can drop the Shark Typhoons to the sideboard

So you like it huh?
I had to reread the text on the card. Whenever you cast a spell. HOLY ***** IN A BOX BATMAN. That might replace Cyclone Summoner in some builds. ME WANT.
The best part? It's not mythic

Most decks that would pack the Tyrant can just upgrade to this one (so only reanimator might not).
