It's ability is a real annoyance. I've never used its ability much (via mutants having it) but the times i did it really helped me to stop those hard hitting dragons of my opponent.

I do believe this card is becoming common (i.e. bazaar-purchasable) with the next patch.  When it does mono-Water will become much more viable for newbies overnight.  AI3 grinding with Squids, Dragons, and Toadfish (to kill off the frozen critters and have a decent attacker that will slip under Gravity Shield) will be pretty cake, methinks.

This card can be a real pain in the ass if you don't get any creature control early on.

[Essence]

Or if it manages to get Quinted, yeah.

[Waerloga]

Is this going to be purchasable in 1.19?  The beta doesn't list it in the bazaar.

[Essence]

Zanz has said it will be; IDK if he's just forgotten or if he's waiting for something specific.

This was the first "rare" card that I ever won... I was using water at the time, so I got to use it immediately... I really like the squid.

[dekskose]

i got a real good deck idea fo this card but safing till i get my 6th of those (right now my 4th)

[Vortex]

so will the sell value of this card decrease once it's in the bazaar? should everyone sell the rare card now and buy it for a cheaper price once it's common?

[Brion]

i think it shouldn't be rare...i want to sooo bad! still i can't seem to get it

[nilsieboy]

this is realy my favourite card of the game,
the only problem is i only have 4 of them (i have 6 of all the other rares  )
