Are you kidding me? 1 more damage and 1 less health than dragons for same cost (plus a removal effect) is terrible stats? Do you even know what terrible means?
Wow! A COMMON 9 mana card?????????????? This is amazing! The biggest one right now is Force-Tank MAX
Is everyone call me crazy if I call this card budget ragnaros?
yes
"Supa Hot Fire, I spit that."
by fire be.. singed?
I like cards like this that can act as 'cheap alternatives' to better cards so that newbies can throw a deck together. This can be thrown in a Control Warrior or Ramp Paladin deck and obviously it won't be as good as the Dr. Boom or Nefarian it is replacing, but it will at least allow players without a ton of cards to get a taste for the deck.
I don't think Blizzard intended for it to be on the same level as the staple legendaries like Nefarian, Ysera (not so much now) or Alexstrasza but a budget easy to get end game card for new players that don't have all the staple legendaries in most decks. Most new game players will most likely vs other new game players as well who wouldnt have cards like bgh to punish it but more likely will use hard removal like assassinate for example. In high level constructed play though all your points are basically valid.
Love this card. It won't see upper legend play, but it can help give lower ranks a win condition. Great common card. Reminds me of the 7/6 For 8 mana in MTG, no abilities. That card won me so many games when I had a very small collection.
UNLEASH THE KRAKEN!
Not that bad a card especially for a common. Pretty ok dealing 4 dmg and a 9/7 for 9 but probably just a little too slow being 9 mana meaning you can't do much else for a turn. 8 mana would probably be much better for this card.
I voted for this card but was disappointed.
This card will be excellent in arena, mark my words. A late game huge body that deals a chunk of damage is nothing to laugh at, especially since 9 attack equals almost a third of your enemies health.
North Sea Kraken is a great card for players new to the game. Also, it's a pretty decent card for arena players. As a high ranked player, I do understand the need for diversity in the game. But please Blizzard give me a 4 drop Warrior (Control Warrior) minion that is actually good!
I hope the battle cry has the same animation as Kill Command or Bite.
Curve topper for slower Arena decks, and perhaps a good card for budget control decks in Constructed.
Great for Arena
Its a easy to get 9 drop so newer players can actually have an end game creature if they want. (Also this should be good in arena)
Still going to be less popular than Dr. Balanced...
I'm sooooo going to build budget control decks with this card and post them for newbies.
