i always wanted more synergy with flooding but it seems to hard, try to get out 7 normal creatures first and then play a kraken... once you have 7 creatures i think the game is yours already

While I love this card, I feel like having it cost for crushing is a bit out of theme :|

Perhaps ?

What makes this kraken dark?

[Essence]

As much as I love this idea, it's too cheap for what it does.  The stats alone are worth more than 5 , the ability in addition makes this mildly OP at its current price.

also, this one is dark because I've already posted the normal kind. 8)

I assume if you're plan with this card is primarily PC with some attack to back it, then the first 7 creatures you play will be cheap ones, possibly fractal'd.  Therefore, you definitely don't have the game with 7 cheap 1~2 attack creatures.  The goal in that case would be to get out seven as quickly as possible and then play Kraken to get some PC going.

Gravity sounds fun, something to think about.

I can see card cost, but the ability?  Its requires a lot of setup, an additional quanta upkeep from Flooding, and seven creatures to be played before it.  Also it is fragile considering a little PC against Flooding will disable this ability.

I like the idea of making more use of Floodling 
I did at first think the ability should be something else (as suggested, perhaps  ) but I do think  fits because this creatures ability only works when totalling immersed in  !
Cost wise, I think 5 for attack +1 for high HP. I don't think the ability is strong enough to justify another +1 as it is quite situational and perhaps not mega easy to pull off, so my personal feeling would be 6 for unupped, for upped I guess 6 as well, perhaps 7 , not sure.

Thanks for the comment there rohflo

True -- but like I tried to say, the ability is literally just gravy on top of the amazing stats for the cost.

I agree with Essence. Think about Abomination. Then think about this.


Creature Cost =  Attack + HP + Bonuses + Ability Value
Unupped
Attack: +5
HP: + 2 (8-9)
Ability Value : At least +1 (Situational, but it stands eye to eye with Pulvy if used correctly... as well as being mono)
Bonus? : No.
Final Value : 8  (Ouch. Even 6 seems a bit underpriced now.)

Upped
Attack: +6
HP: + 3 (10+)
Ability Value : At least +1
Bonus? : -2 for Upgrade
Final Value : 8 

I suggest making the ability cost and lowering the HP by 2 if you want to keep the cost around 5-7 .

Nice card. I dont see where dark fits in tho. Unless you maybe add some darkness ability.

anyways good enough for me id vote for this.

Thanks for all the input guys.  I've broken conventional card creation standards and went ahead and submitted as is.  Don't hate me, but I feel that if the concept is ever to be considered, the current costs will be adjusted anyways.  What I'm saying is; people should be voting on the concept, not the costs.  I'm going to vote for a card if I think it is very creative and original, even if it maybe does cost 1 or 2 quanta less than it should.  That can always be easily adjusted.
