An ice hockey team called the Kraken previews a snow kraken illustrated by artist Chris Cold. That's A LOT of things aligning here. Consider snow lands for your turn 6 play, sea monsters decks. . . and maybe a flicker effect or two.
Quest for Ula's Temple intensifies. I actually like this in a non meme way but I am an old fart and there is a part of me that is just asking why dumb fun stuff like this isn't mythic. I remember when Polar Kraken was like a great cool thing to get.
He looks more like a treefolk with tentacles than a kraken

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
I do agree though the kraken itself looks odd, like a treefolk or something. But I love the Norse filigree pattern all over it though, so cool.
GAHHH the Snow mechanic involve is so amazing, I just love it! Discounts with snow mana, and even ETB with Quest For Ula's Temple or blink with Thassa sets it off which is amazing!
Should have been an 11/11 for flavor with Polar Kraken but 8/8 is excellent.
Well time to add some new BABESH to my DECK!

Again with glaring omission of land hosing.
Getting very tired of this...
For this specific case, it's because of how easy it is to turn this relatively cheap (with snow lands) Kraken into the back half of original Vorinclex if lands were involved.
This is terrible imo. If you compare to something like Abominable Treefolk it doesn't really match up that well. An 8/8 with no evasion is just meh by the time you will actually be able to play it. The ice part isn't as good as it looks as it doesn't actually tap the creatures, so they need to be tapped in the first place, and the protection while ok if the rest of the card was decent will likely mean you probably can't even replay it next turn. It's not even playable in limited given you won't be able to support it with enough snow lands.
Absolutely agree. I can't remember, but was coldsnap legal in standard when it came out? This would be a way to sneak rampant growth back into standard, something I would really like.

I really like the art. I will hate someone racing this out and locking down the game.
the big ugh is why, why doesn't it tap the artifacts and creatures as well on ETB (ofcoarse that would probably make it mythic)

Snow Creature - Kraken!
AND a brilliant pair with Thassa 2.0 as well!
I LOVE THE ICEBERGS AND SHIPS in the art!

i'm not really impressed. even with the mana cost reduction through snow permanents. i expect to see this really nowhere.
My take on the art is that its supposed to be similar to crabs with coral on their back.

If this would tap down lands, it would be obnoxiously good.
Could have "flash" to ambush stuff, but ok.

I'm sure someone wants to see the actually-extended art version of this card.
Yup, it will suck to open this in packs, $.50 rare here.

The art sort of reminds me of Lavos from Chrono Trigger.
If you can get a minor snow theme going in limited then this can cause waves to happen. Hee...waves.
