A deck that focuses on ramping up mana quickly and has ways to generate additional lands would benefit from including Polar Kraken, as it requires a significant investment of mana and sacrifices lands as part of its upkeep cost. However, there are likely better options available in terms of efficiency and impact on the game, such as other high-cost creatures with more immediate board impact or win conditions. Polar Kraken may not see much play in competitive settings due to its high cost and upkeep requirements compared to other available options.

Rules

10/01/08

Paying cumulative upkeep is always optional. If it’s not paid, the permanent with cumulative upkeep is sacrificed. Partial payments of the total cumulative upkeep cost can’t be made. For example, if a permanent with “cumulative upkeep ” has three age counters on it when its cumulative upkeep ability triggers, it gets another age counter and then its controller chooses to either pay or sacrifice the permanent.
