I remember in 2019 I came back to play mtg after like 6-8 years of having stoppped playing… I came back to play Eldraine sealed with a group of friends… my first opponent played Oko, Thief of Crowns somewhat early into the game, turning my strongest creature into an Elk and going up to 5 loyalty… Then he played a 4 toughness creature and I was unable to attack Oko ever again, losing me the game.
After finishing the match I asked to read the card again — I was impressed that such was the power of planeswalkers now, but I was mistaken, it was just Oko
i really enjoy the way you show respect to all the other creators. even more the way you fit in with them. shiny and worthy, educated and professionally. pure gold. i totally dig it. thx for your work mate. and thank you for lighting my modern fire. in my opinion you are the creator i missed for long on yt. keep up the ambition.
Smuggler's copter is insanely broken
@nikachu can you tutor for ballista with urzas saga since it's technically a zero cost ballista?
dreadbore or eliminate would deal with Oko for 2 mana
Black Friday accidents are no joke. So it's very much a floodgate in stores to give some sales now over later where people will punch, kick and bite to buy something. I remember going to a local Toy's R Us a few hours before closing and seeing all the police tape on the floor and things thrown around. People are animals, that is for sure.
To be fair we also now have many ways to kill oko that we got after the fact especially in white it might be fine in modern and pioneer now but that's assuming people can get over it's history to even try
Remember we didn't have skyclave apparition, fateful absence, fracture, bone shards, Graf reaver, grist as examples. We even got stuff that can help deal with oko such as flame blitz in red.
Also let's not forget UG isn't doing to hot anymore with uro gone and the top decks are combo styled and this could help a new archetype deal with murktide as an example.
Idk it might even just be too powerful but looking at things in a vacuum its difficult to say
This episode just convinced me the Pioneer format is a joke…
where are fetchlands
It's weird to here a lot of removal I consider good (Abrupt Decay, Fatal Push) called clunky and weird >.> what kind of power are you batting with in modern?
IDK how people didn't think Oko wasn't broken, he's a beast within on a stick, with CMC 3.
->Beef up your 1/1's into 3/3's, turn your 1 cost artifacts.
->Disable strong effect creatures or anything stronger then a 3/3, can deal with indestructible creatures.
->Turn artifact lands into 3/3 beasts, even indestructible ones.
->Food Tokens feed affinity/Urza Saga
->In Affinity you can easily use his -5 to trade like a memnite for a CMC3 cost
Ugin is probably best in commander because its a board whipe
Make no mistake, Breach is broken in modern too. Not every pilot can prove it, but the deck is insane.
I refuse to play pioneer solely because of how they did my boy ballista dirty to protect the $$$ of a mythic rare they didn’t fucking play test.
As far as I'm concerned Alchemy might as well not exist.
Oko was suppose to read -1 instead of +1. Wizards has shown brutal incompetency in recent years. This is just another sign of how the game is not in good hands
