[Official] Arctic Squid | Arctic Octopus

[Phoenix MT]

Ok I been getting the same NPC a lott of times and it happenes to be the annoying one that Spams The damn Squid.

The reason I think Arctic Squid & Freeze sould be nerfed is because every time you get defrosted its always in your opponents turn and all they have to do is just freeze you again and if they r filled up with quantums its like an infinite loop not 3 turnes, so my suggestion is the freeze sould end in your turn instead of your opponent

Thanks

if anything, squid should be buffed. all it does now is provide you with overpriced creature control. its sort of like movie theater popcorn in a way.

How many times do yo see players use the squid? Only time I've seen it used (outside of events) is in an SoR/squid farm :s

Sorry, but this is a classic case of "I is annoyed at this AI. This card needs to be nurfff'd"
It doesn't. It's overpriced and rarely stays on the field on its own. Try some different decks, do some PvP. You'll see how weak it really is.

1 water quantum + 1 ice lance = dead squid. What's so bad about it? Infact, the only CC spell that won't kill it in one go is thunderstorm.

As I have posted numerous times in these threads:

Please do not post a "nerf this card" thread until you have played with the card.
Please do not post a "buff this card" thread until you have played against the card.

That is all.

Should I kill somebody?

You're a rabbit, you are too cuddly to kill someone.

Yes they are. Nothing against them hiring assassins though

Imho, it would be justifiable to add one hp and put the ability down to 2 .

Honestly, I have tried to use the squid. It is a fun card. It comes with many concessions, however. One counter and it is gone. If you have to choose between quinted oty/demon and this what do you pick? Probably oty. The squid is only good against creatures with high HP that cannot reasonably be killed.

The squid only has one good use: fight enemies with no CC and strong creatures. (For example Gemini who places grav. dragons)

If you're in the mood, you should try this and hope for low CC:

Add 3 or 4 squids to your deck and the same amount of parasites/bloodsuckers. A demon is also good to finish.

Freeze dragons. Bite to bits. If HP drops under attack value, finish off with demon, or just let it die slowly. The cumulative poison can even bring down a gravity dragon with 30 hp no problem. 

Now the oty and the demon cost more than the squid, but they are ''better'' and have more HP. (You can always freeze, so there the squid is better, but freezing does not kill.) I am not sure if the stats benefit from a buff. You need at least 4 hp to live through firestorm. 5 to withstand initial oty. Maybe that is too much. I do think the ability cost is way too expensive. I could totally go with a squid that was 0/4 or 0/5 and 2  to freeze though. Nobody needs 1 attack.

^Squid and Toadfish = epic combo if you except a rush with no CC. You seem to be talking about a rainbow though, in which case Maxwell's would indeed be pretty kickass.
