No, you are wrong. Sealock Monster from Theros is also Octopus.

This card is so going to my MonoBlue ControlledBeatdown deck :D With Tromokratis and Shipbreaker Kraken. And so that enemy can't do anything, I also have some Vortex Elementals and Perplexing Chimeras just for the heck of it. You are going to DoomBlade my Kraken? No, have this Chimera instead, then I'll use the Doomblade to destroy the Chimera.

This card is so cheap boardwipe.

Because you were were curious
Floodtide Serpent,
Kraken of the Straits,
Nimbus Swimmer,
Sealock Monster,
Shipbreaker Kraken,
and Tromokratis
are your options for the current standard.
Let's hope Journey into Nyx changes that.

shares a lot in common with Damnation, but harder to make relevant.
Could eventually be a thing with ravnica rotating out, and whatever sea monsters/inspired creatures dwell in Nyx.

Now that I think of it, its also similar to Wrath of God

I think the line about Krakens, Leviathans, Octopuses, and Serpents is a red herring. The only creatures of those types in Standard are overcosted and irrelevant. This is a blue tempo-y boardwipe that resets your enters-the-battlefield effect creatures like Omenspeaker or Constellation creatures. My favorite ETB effects in Standard are Mnemonic Wall and Archaeomancer.

After Theros waves goodbye to Standard, this might make a splash in Modern Ula's Temple decks, but I still think ETB effects are the best way to school your opponent with Whelming Wave. Something something something hook, line, and sinker.
