Rise of the Kraken
Reviews

The man in this picture is so strong that he is pulling a warship onto the beach with one hand. He clearly works out and lives by the adage “No pain, no extra unopposed power gain”. The reason the income on this plot is so low is because he spent all your money on protein supplements and beard care products. He keeps it a secret though because Ironborn don’t pay the gold price for anything, let alone cosmetics. 2 claim is great tho. 10/10

It's a great card, on first glance. Unfortunately Clash of Kings is a better card in my opinion. First of all it triggers in defense as well as in offense, also when you are behind you have +1 Initiative +2 Gold +1 Reserve compared to the Rise of the Kraken. The trigger of the card is also easier to fulfill. On paper it looks better because of the 2 Claim value, in practice it often left me alone when i needed to play catch up.I strongly recommend playing with Clash of Kings — Lancezh 251

I strongly recommend playing with Clash of King instead for afromentioned reasons, by the time you can trigger the Kraken card 2-3 times unopposed without needing money to build your board chances are you're already winning.
