Krakens Horde

Krakens Game-play

Release the Kraken Horde! Monsters of the deep sea terrorize the pirate waters!

Special rule! Shared Treasures!

  • All treasures under the control of any non-Horde player can be activated by any non-Horde player.
  • Any treasure entering the battlefield only triggers an ability of the player that created that treasure.

Kraken Horde Rules

This Horde includes 2 “commander” enchantment cards with static abilities. They cannot be targeted or removed. These cards are also not necessary. They add interesting flavor and may force strategies based on the number of counters on them.

  • Tidal Influence
    • Tidal Influence enters the battlefield with a tide counter on it.
    • At the beginning of the Horde’s upkeep, put a tide counter on Tidal Influence.
    • As long as there is exactly one tide counter on Tidal Influence, all blue creatures get -2/-0.
    • As long as there are exactly three tide counters on Tidal Influence, all blue creatures get +2/+0.
    • Whenever there are four or more tide counters on Tidal Influence, remove all tide counters from it.
  • Ominous Seas
    • Whenever you draw a card, put a foreshadow counter on Ominous Seas.
    • Remove eight foreshadow counters from Ominous Seas: Create an 8/8 blue Kraken creature token.
  • Waves end when an Uncommon, Rare, or Mythic ETB
  • When damage occurs to the Horde, any Legendary card that goes to the Graveyard instead enters the battlefield and immediately Phases Out.
  • Post-combat, activate any other ability once per the horde’s turn
  • The Horde loses when both Horde libraries have no cards
