I wasn't quite inspired earlier this week, so I decided to silently sneak in my submission. Looking forward to all the amazing prompt Sunken City and season 5 may bring!
I watched a YouTube video about the Glugg bug (the fifth test in the video), apparently whenever Glugg gains stats it's stored in a single enchantment which isn't replaced when the effect triggers. If its stats are set after it has gained stats at least once, it won't gain any more of the set stat due to taking precedence over Glugg's enchantment. At least that's how I can interpret the info.
The idea was that Tentacles increase reach, allowing to Dredge more things, so I would rather keep the effect on them. That said, I suppose with more complicated cards people have to focus more on effect from gameplay perspective, so flavour may have less meaning, so I can at least consider your idea, though I will probably just add limit note in parentheses.
I just learned that Righteous Defense doesn't just set a minion's attack and health to 1, it *permanently* sets them to one; an opponent used it on my Glugg the Gulper in a recent match, and Glugg no longer gained stats from other friendly minions dying; the "set to 1" had precedence.
I haven't experimented with any other buff cards, but it isn't the interaction I expected.
Yeah, Discover will even out with the next expansions. It is frustrating now, but by the last expansion of the year the pool could get so diluted that discover becomes more of a crapshoot (or Blizzard can lose interest in mechs, not print any more of them, and we're in the same place).
Kibler had a video with a piranha swarmer deck in which he used the Amalgam of the Deep to always get his choice of anchored totem or flametongue totem; you could even hero power, swarmer, and then one of these.
Just enjoy the ride. Any other route lies madness.
Oh, and I AM forever in debt to your priceless advice.
I think Grotesmal is your best card, but I agree with the general sentiment about its tentacles' effect. What if you move the "Dredge has an extra option" to the main body and the tentacles reduce the cost?
About your other cards, I like Fussy Lobstradon (even if I seem to be alone with this), although it should definetly be a Beast.

Your card is good, but its text should use the word "deck" instead of "library" and end with a full stop. Also, I think you could come up with a less generic name than Mgrlglr that still sounds like a Murloc name.
Something similar happened to me yesterday, after 2-3 minutes with the game not responding, I could watch how my opponent played 4 turns in a row in a few seconds, while I has unable to do anything. Of course I was dead before my game responded. This was on PC.
Fortunately I have experienced this only once, I hope it doesn't happen again.
Sinestra can heal Onyxia on speed 2, also giving her damage reduction for the turn. YuLon gives all dragons damage reduction. LongXin can do the health buff/swap ability to keep Onyxia alive.
Slow start, this feels more like testing the ground but I wish Monumental success.
This game has very nice mechanics (and not just Grease Monkey wink wink) and I hope they can foster some interest in the crowded CCG market, it deserves it.
So they are unable to balance the game properly to mitigate first-player advantage, yet they remove the only way to increase your chances at a fair game?!
Ok, I was really tempted to go with Magnetic Fisher as a Paladin card, however, Warlock is my fav class and had a nice feedback, so Clutch of the Deep it is!
And now, another round of feedback:
Show Spoiler
Dapperdog: It seens you wanted to keep the original flavour and text, that's fair, but I'll they you this, people here love flavourful cards that fits the competition theme. Also, you should DEFINALLY make an effort to make it 4 lines maximum and add the VttSC watermark, I know at least one guy here that will be quite pissed about it…
Neoguli: It seens you already submmited, but know that I think you choosed tthe best one.
Nirast: Honestly, I'll have to agree with Linkblade. It has flavour and an interesting effect, but it is kinda inconsistent and it is not really clear about where it wants to go. What about switch the effect to Legendary minions or 8+ cost minions instead of colossals and sunken cards? It loses a little bit of flavour but at least it will be more consistent and look more realistic. Also there's nothing wrong with the art, but it could definally be better.
BasilAnguis: Looks simple, flavourful and nice. I think you should change the art and mess with the statline a bit, but overall it is a very cool card.
Wailor: I'm in love with Blessing of the Ocean, amazing effect and flavor, Buuuuuuuuuut, I have a feeling that Yogg'Siren will do better, the flavour is also awesome and the art is pretty neat. The only suggestion I give is to raise the cost a bit and maybe make it targets enemies if possible. (and by the way, the name Anchor Guy was just a place holder :P )
ChickyChick: Grotesmal is my favorite overall, however, it is quite problematic as Demon pointed out. That said, I think you should either go with Fussy Lobstradon and change it to a Beast, or make some adjustments to Grotesmal's Tentacles.
Alfi: Personally, I like it, quite solid and flavourful, for me you should just change "library" to "deck" and add the dot to the end and you're good to go. However, it seens some people here are confused and overthinking about the effect, that's definally not a good sign for your card, think about it before submmiting.

Chi-Ji and Onyxia
Try some dragon synergy:
Sinestra can heal Onyxia on speed 2, also giving her damage reduction for the turn. YuLon gives all dragons damage reduction. LongXin can do the health buff/swap ability to keep Onyxia alive.

First of all, they're Japanese, not Chinese. BIG difference.
Second, if you're going to concede before you even see if your opponent will make you go first or second, it only seems fair that it counts as a loss.

Would slapping "(up to 5)" on Grotesmal's Tentacles be too brutal? I thought that having 10 cards UI is possible, but I'm not convinced anymore.
