Five new Bilgewater cards were revealed by the Legends of Runeterra Twitter, accompanied by the new Spawn keyword.
What do you think of these cards? Since it's obvious Illaoi is coming tomorrow, what do you expect her effect to be? Let us know in the comments below!
Just a guy with opinions video games who decided to share it with everyone against their will :P. I specifically like single-player games and card games, though usually not what's most popular at the moment.

To me it seems a little bit "too low impact" regarding lore... I mean, just a 1|1 but when cleaned that's all, no? :/
For me it would fit better if it has some kind of "permanent" buff o having something like add it on deck and "summon when draft" being buffed everywhere... When thinking in krakens and tentacles I think about something spread all around, being afraid of facing it anytime and from everywhere...
Let's see the whole pack, maybe it's better than the idea I have on mind :P
I had to say, I totally misunderstood it. Now that I played it I can see that it "buffs" the existing Tentacle.
I firstly understood that it spawns another one if you already have one and then that's the one buffed. Something like having on board: 1/1, 2/2, 3/3 and go on.
As you can see I was totally lost with that :P
The tentacles are not ephemeral so theoretically they should get bigger as long as you play more spawn cards. They are also 1 cost and Bilgwater have some cards centered around buffing 1 cost unit like Jagged Taskmaster and Reaver's Row.
Giving how most of the community thought that Blade Dance and Recall were underwhelming on reveal, you are right to wait for the whole package before making up your mind.
Yeah, I got that but as far as I understood is just board based. What you have in table is what you are buffing on that moment, I'm not saying thats unviable or unplayable but for me would be better flavor tasted having those tentacles laying everywhere :P
Let's wait, yes. I'm sure I'm talking before it's time xP
Oh look it's amass from MTG but now in LoR...!
I better don't tell everyone how (horribly bad) amass cards performed when amass was legal in standard (when standard wasn't even close to it's powerlevel peak)
But in a way this fits LoL Illaoi very well: A champion who just absolutely sucks when played against somewhat competent players but stomps low elo (that doesn't run proper removal) without any questions asked
People tended to make Illaoi a Deep card when making custom cards. But no, let's add ANOTHER keyword, LoR doesn't really have enough!
Don't know how Amass performed, but it might be decent in LoR. We'll have to see.
Removal is much more efficient in mtg, so going all-in on one big token is terrible.
Tbf it seems pretty terrible in LoR too, but I assume the rest of the package will make it a bit more dynamic.
Amass was SO BAD in MTG that the only amass card that ever saw play was a blue removal spell with amass 1 for 2 (which was used as sacrifze fodder/chumb blocker).
Given that experience I think that watchful idol could become a huge player in the meta as a sac fodder/chumb blocker outlet and together with monkey idol I can see a si/bilge token aggro deck becoming a thing
I don't like having more keywords either but I don't see Ilaoi as a deep card.
