suprised i didn't find it, big octopus=kraken, hence the name, SOP inflates them while they freeze the oponent, purify can heal you up to 12 each turn or remove sosac, indunation works wonders to keep the targets of your octopusses limited, maybe one tower or pendulum can be switched for another indunation to increase the chance of drawing it.

EM is posible if the oponent doesn't pull a weapon on you, mutations are pretty bad, they can easily slow you down and potentialy shut down the freezing, try to not play you octopusses without a SOP as they are quite fragile

immortal creatures are also something it loses to

lobotomizers hurt you

reverse time/eternity can be anoying, especially when your octopusses are already big

otyugh can be a nuiscance

quanta control is nasty, but if it's in the form on pests/devourers it can be halted

I wouldn't bother with any inundation here.  With only 6 creatures, your SoP won't give the flooding bonus to your own unless you get all six, and the games where flooding is useful against the opponent are very, very few.  You could perhaps consider using nymph queen/nymph's tears, and then you could potentially generate enough water creatures to gain the SoP/flooding combo bonus, but you'd probably also need more quanta there, too, and it would change the theme of the deck somewhat, but it's up to you how you'd want to do it.  I definitely would not use inundation in the current setup, though.

it killed more creatures than you would think it did, and it works wonders versus decks with empatic bonds
