The same way that every red deck needs a Lightning Bolt, every blue deck needs an Isleback Spawn. Whether you're drawing cards, milling, or you just want to crush your opponents with krakens and leviathans, this card is great. The shroud is sometimes beneficial and sometimes annoying, but who doesn't love an 8/16?
The reason why mill decks need this is because all mill decks have the same weakspot - defense. You could pile up on Wall of Frosts and still get overrun. A pumped Isleback Spawn, however, will hold back almost any creature.

my least favorite hideaway creature. if your opponents library is below twenty, why are you going to want an 8/16 creature as you are probably milling with control support. Why shroud, and not some evasion?

The only way this card can be good is if it's used with a nemesis of reason, which is actually a really freaking awesome card. But I'd probably always just use the nemesis. Anyone agree?

Why couldn't Doran, the Siege Tower be blue? I know trees shouldn't be blue, but the ability SCREAMS using it with blue creatures. Between this, Kraken Hatchling, and especially Wall of Denial, Doran would have rocked HARD if treefolk were blue instead of black.

@Dark_Raider No. It's a Shadownoor'ed Shelldock Isle.

Like all of the Hideaway creatures, dropping this thing from it's land is hilarious and satisfying.
And as a creature itself, terrifying. Potentially an 8/16 with shroud. That's...difficult to kill.
Makes me wanna make a Kraken deck. Moreso than any other Kraken.
