1. Inkwell Leviathan – Legendary Creature, blue, makes a big impact on the board, shares colors and sea creature theme.
2. Serpent of Yawning Depths – Blue, boosts other Krakens/Leviathans/Octopuses/Serpents, synergy with other sea creatures.
3. Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca – Legendary blue, token generation (Merfolk, not Tentacles), triggers from drawing/interacting.

    Rules

  • Arixmethes can tap for mana the turn it enters the battlefield as long as it has slumber counters on it. If you can figure out how to untap it, that is.
  • Arixmethes can't be played as a land.
  • Arixmethes isn't a land until after it has entered the battlefield. Effects such as that of Blood Moon won't affect its enters-the-battlefield ability. Similarly, replacement effects that modify how creatures you control enter the battlefield will see Arixmethes entering as a creature rather than a land. However, triggered abilities (such as landfall abilities) will see that a land has entered the battlefield and not a creature.
  • Arixmethes's effect causing it to be a land overwrites any earlier effects that gave it additional types. For example, a Phyrexian Metamorph that copies Arixmethes will be a land, not an artifact land, until its slumber counters are removed.
  • Arixmethes's triggered ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger, but after targets have been chosen for that spell. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
  • Once Arixmethes is a creature again, it can attack on the same turn as long as you've controlled it since your most recent turn began.
  • While Arixmethes is a land, it's still green and blue, it's still legendary, and its mana value is still 4.

    The Watcher in the Water enters tapped with nine stun counters on it. (If a permanent with a stuncounterwould become untapped, remove one from it instead.) Whenever you draw a card during an opponent's turn, create a 1/1 blue Tentacle creature token. Whenever a Tentacle you control dies, untap up to one target Kraken and put a stuncounteron up to one target nonland permanent.
