And the card and info show different stats for leviathan.This. Is the upped version 13/13 or 15/15?
it's thematically appropriate, cleverly balanced, and edgy without being OP.SOMEONE'S modest ;)
you can combo this with aflatoxin, those little cancers die when in the flood, so they only take up the middle row, fractal these babies (if you can make a trio deck like that) and you have a massive powerhouse field... wait, i just realized something. flood+afla= faster field control... hmm.....Not really, since Mali Cells aren't killed by Flooding, you'd have to get all your Krakens on the board before they fillit up, and after that any you draw are just useless.
This says it all, really. I think it's a really good idea, and I'd love to see it in the game.Quoteit's thematically appropriate, cleverly balanced, and edgy without being OP.SOMEONE'S modest ;)
Agreed with thematically appropriate and it is edgy without being OP. Is it balanced? I'm not sure. Only playtesting can tell. My initial reaction was actually "Too weak!" especially the unupped version.
wait, cancer cells dont die in flooding? arent they not water creatures though?!...Non-Water and Non-Other ;)
Also.... we could actually say, "RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!!!" in PvP, and it would make sense. Win. :Dthis made me lol
What I meant, Essence, was that this is a prime target for Fractal, because you could do something like Crawlers or RoLs for the middle row, then use flooding to set up a Fractal/Leviathan combo.Wow, that was a long walk to tie this to Fractal. ;p
UPDATED!Even Better in theme. Think the Mirror match would be horrid. How about restricting the target to a creature of less hp or atk so that opposing Kraken just cant kill each other by getting in first. Maybe change Water creature to any creature that is underwater.
Since the biggest comment was that it wasn't quite enough, I made it just a little more fragile but added a significant new active ability.
(BTW, the 'vulnerability' is a Passive ability, so it's not affected by Lobo/LS/Butterfly.)
Kraken|Leviathan now dies instantly unless underwater -- making it unusable as a "direct damage" spells -- but now provides hardcore complementary power to Flooding|Inundation, as it can kill :water creatures (like you might expect from the most dangerous predator of the seas).
Better now?
UPDATED!Phoenix is affected by LS/Lobo/Butterfly.

I dont think there's anything wrong with cards that you have to play in combo. Sure, there's not rush to implement those yet while the game still needs more cards in general, but there's nothing wrong with this idea.Think about it. If you take this card, you have to take Flooding. You have no other options because without Flooding, this card is useless. That, paired up with high usage of :water, limits your deckbuilding options dramatically.
