![]() ![]() Let’s look at some of the most popular Signatures on EDHREC and a few noteworthy additions: Giant Opportunity Naturally, things that like to eat Food or use them in some way come to mind, but aside from that it’s dealer’s choice. After all, Oko’s abilities, when taken together, don’t really evoke a strong theme. ![]() ![]() The answer to this is a bit trickier than it was with Wrenn last week. Factor in that Proliferate, artifact synergies and steal/copy effects are at a natural home in Simic and you’ve got yourself one tasty snack of a deck! What pairs well with Oko? That steal ultimate that looked kind of bad before? Well, now every relevant thing across the board is an Elk and Oko’s Food pantry is open for trade. That Food token doesn’t really gain you three life it gains you a virtual nine when you factor in Oko’s loyalty. This absurd starting loyalty then explains why his abilities seem rather weak–because, in truth, they are much stronger for it. Otherwise, he’ll turn your opponent’s best attacker into an Elk that will still take three turns to kill him–and even then, by that third turn Oko will have turned a Food into an Elk to block anyway. Oko takes this premise and throws it out the window: by going up to either five or six loyalty right away on turn two or turn three, Oko essentially demands that you answer him with hard removal or a counterspell. Usually an early planeswalker has a low loyalty to compensate, so aggressive decks can effectively deal with them by sacrificing one attack step. The thing about planeswalkers is that, even in a format where the Elderspell sees a ton of play, they are still pretty hard to get rid of outside of reducing their loyalty to zero. With such a large butt you’d wonder how he fits into those skinny jeans! ![]()
