This card put me out of words initially. Not
because it is inately broken or powerful, because it
was just so damn interesting.
Mindcrush -
Yugioh references aside. Wow. A creature that can
discard you opponents entire hand. You think Skull
Shatter is good. Creatures with Spell like effects
are usually more powerful. However of course the
down side is you discard you hand as well. You see I
love card design like this. You can make huge plays
around this card. Dump your hand for some aggression
then BAM. Smack this down and laugh at their hand!
This card has gotten some mixed reviews on the Pojo
message boards and for good reason. Think about the
laughable situations you could do if you bottle of
wishes this? Fun stuff indeed. Only time will tell
how powerful or useless this card can or will be.
For now, some control decks definitley have new
tricks.
Tempest of Tentacles -
Much like Sasha on Monday. I consider Tempest a
bonus effect. You play this card for Mindcrush, and
Tempest of Tentacles is just gravy. Not to mention
this effect is really cool to boot. It locks your
opponent out from attacking AND blocking. Get
Wrecked. This effect is Fairly Straight forward and
could really save your and lock out some games for
you opponent. It all depends on how you build your
deck and play the card.
Summary
Personally I like Squillace. A very creative card
indeed. Heres two nifty combos you could do with
this guy.
Kind Coral on field.
Play Squillace
Use Corals effect to bounce all level 4 or lower
Use Squillace, proceed to laugh.
Midnight Crawler on field (with opponents
creatures on board)
Summon Squillace Discard
Swing with Crawler draw cards.
Have advantage on opponent.
See those are just some nifty combos. Not exactly
game breaking, but there is some room for
creativity!
Constructed 3/5
Limited 3/5
