Brinelin, the Moon Kraken lived off the coast of Akoum on Zendikar. He had a friendship with the leader of the Tajuru elves, Speaker Sutina, and also nearly killed Nissa, Sorin, and Anowon when their ship passes through his territory during In The Teeth of Akoum.
Brinelin is interesting in that it's so much better in Limited than in Constructed, and I hope this stays that way. In Limited, it's good in slower control decks, and maybe green-blue (do we get to draft sea monsters?). In Constructed, it's only good for the latter, or any random high-CMC blue decks that exist somewhere. Nice way to do sea monster tribal without the explicit support of the litany of creature types.
Mnemonic Deluge is obviously for all those spellslinger decks. Point it at a spell that duplicates other spells or something. You can also steal your opponent's Expropriate if you're still alive after that turn cycle.
