: The "best" versions of these animations often pair the visual of the Kraken with "Phonk" music or aggressive electronic tracks, such as those by artists like Teminite , whose track "Release the Kraken" is a staple in this genre.

If you timed the tideswell correctly, you’ll see the on-screen text: “Elasid has unleashed the Abyssal Echo.” That’s how you know you’ve achieved the release.

Elasid is fragile. The best position for a release is at the edge of your vision range, ideally behind terrain. The Kraken does not need line of sight to be summoned. Stay hidden.

Since the Kraken gets stronger for each unit it kills, the only way to beat the Elasid player is to play nothing . Run a control deck with 0 creatures. Force them to "Release the Kraken" into an empty board. Now they have a 10/10 creature, but you have a hand full of removal spells. Kill the Kraken on your next turn, then play your win condition. The Elasid player will have no resources left.
