Here we are again....another oko, another tibalts...we always find ourselves battling against wizards ****** game design team or their corporate greed. Nothing screams incompetent and 'i love money' more than cards like these. When we thought it wasn't possible for them to continue this **** they create the one ring. A card that could have been strong but balanced but instead they made it stupid and broken. This card is being played everywhere and well IT CAN BE PLAYED EVERYWHERE. It is again, a very toxic and cancerous card that will see plenty of play so wizards can get their pay. I played against this card so many times and felt how ridiculous this card can be. It can net such of an advantage that it becomes impossible to beat. The life loss is irrelevant, and the fact it is legendary means it has an out. I played against rakdos, they had it, mono black, they had it, dimir, they had it, blue white, they had it, and even a red white deck that used it as a combo piece to go infinite turns and win...And what is sad is we all know this is a cash grab piece. How? Well it could have been balanced as needing black mana to cast or activate its ability, or sorcery speed, or 2 mana to activate, but no, all generic mana. And formats like historic and explorer...cards like this get banned for less sooooooo what will you do about it wizards? milk it some more to push product or balance the side of the game that has kept this game alive since its birth?
O and here is how this card can be super broken aside from sheoldred...
