Polar Kraken
When this card was originally printed, it was the largest creature in the game. As I recall, there were some who tried to use the card, but most dismissed it as more novelty then useful. When Ice Age fell of the grid, the card was forgotten. I am going to attempt to demonstrate that Polar Kraken, a card I do in fact use, is actually very useful.
First, some cards that work well with Polar Kraken:
The first two cards don't even require one to pay the cumulative upkeep. Flagstones of Trokair makes paying at least the first upkeep not even hurt. Now, usually after attacking with the Kraken once, you'll know whether or not your opponent can handle another hit. It they can't stop you, lose two lands the next round and finish them off. Brion Stoutarm, like Fling, can get you the most damage out of the Kraken for the least cost. Rupture probably should only be a last ditch effort, but a draw beats a loss in my book.
Now, the best way to use Polar Kraken is in a Reanimator deck. I built a three color Reanimator that uses Polar Kraken and gets results, though obviously the Kraken isn't the only beast in the deck. What I'm saying is don't write Polar Kraken off, its a decent card. Cheers.
