Unfortunately, R&D 'has' to print worthless cards such as these and the lifegain charms popular with newbies to teach them why they suck.

A 6/6 for 6 that can't attack when you want it? why wizards?

I don't know why there isn't a meme involving Sea Monster yet.
Also, strictly better then Chimney Imp.

At least the art looks alright... a bit wasted on this card though. At some point you have to wonder if the flavor of this card is worth it--right before you palm yourself in the forehead for asking yourself such a silly question (no, of course it's not worth it).

If by "awesome" you mean a creature that requires another card just to do what regular creatures are able to do on their own, then sure. This is better than Sea Serpent and Deep-Sea Serpent, not that that matters at all. Now they have Harbor Serpent, which is significantly less awful, but still not quite playable. I don't understand why it's taken them 17 years to realize that Sea Serpents were god-awful. On the other hand, Giant Shark is even worse.
well i get the idea yes sea creatures need water to attack but then wizards should make it for all water-based creatures which would probably suck but why still sticking to this idea and of all monsters to the one of the most flavorfull ones? some crappy eels, octopi, merfolk etc dont neew H2O to attack but serpents do? i dont rly get it...

@imperialstonedragon: Big sea creatures need deep water to move, while the smaller creatures can swim in shallows, or up streams/irrigation channels/etc. Also, both eels and octopi can move about on land, as can merfolk in at least some of Magic's settings.

Atually a bit better than it seems. It's a 6/6 blocker, which means that barely anything gets through it, and if you're playing against a blue deck, it becomes an insane beater.

@GruesomeGoo Hey, it was actually pretty solid at one time. There was once a day where I looked from Sea Monster to Sea serpent and just nodded my head in approval.

@nevenshinko: I'm just going to guess that you're trolling about Wizards hating the most powerful colour in magic.
Anyways, this guy. He's alright, not a titan but then he IS a common, and to be honest if an opponent went for islands too this guy should do some damage. Otherwise, he's not too bad, can just sit there as a big derpy deterrent.
