to come out of CC retirement and do a few tentacles. Reviews, criticsim

Could get out of hand. But the 6 cost should cover it. Cool.

Make it shuffle X minions for each minion you spot that would be cooler. Or leave it as it is and make a tentacle that does what i said 
Gripping Strength
Condition
Strength +2
Shadow: Plays on a Tentacle, that Tentacle is
Fierce.
Cool. Make it cost 1 though as 2 makes it lame.
Swiftness
Condition
Vitality +1
Shadow: Plays on a Tentacle. If you can spot

cost is .
Ok fair enough.
Grasping Strength
Strength +3
When you play this card discard a card from
hand or discard 3 cards to play this card for

Ok but what do you mean by discard 3 moria cards, you mean from play?
•Main Tentacle
Strength: 10
Vitality: 3
Lurker. Damage+1. Fierce. Tentacle.
Spot X Conditions. Add [X].
The adding x bit is OP even though it costs 7.

Lurker. While at a marsh this
Tentacle is Strength +4.
Hmm id make the condition for +4 to be met something other than a marsh as it should be at a marsh anyway.

Not sure what this means. You have the choice between discarding 3 moria cards or 1 for the same effect? |

"Companion" should be lower-case, but pretty neat otherwise.

I think everything from "or discard" to "for free" should be in ()s, for clarity.

Kind of a weird name. You also need either a phase for the text, or make it work when you play the minion (which is what I’d recommend). I think it should also have a limit of adding , or raise the cost of the tentacle.

"...a companion with at least 8 strength...", I think, is better.

Make sure to bold lurker. Again, the ability either needs a phase or needs to trigger when you play this minion. Also, the way it’s worded, it forces you to take ALL minions into hand. Perhaps "When you play this minion, shuffle any number of minions from play into your draw deck." |
