      Agreed. He'd probably still be broken even if the second ability was -1 instead of +1.

    Narset parter of veils can also be amazing. Even if you don’t wheel with her (which means an auto win most of the time) she still shuts down a lot of really strong cards. Her -2 also lets you dig for combos/interaction.

      Wasn't she included in the red white blue Planeswalker heavy pre-constructed deck a few years ago? Along with Sarkhan, the masterless and his:
      [+1]: Until end of turn, each planeswalker you control becomes a 4/4 red Dragon creature and gains flying.

      I saw it the moment they revealed the card. For the cost of Beast Within (at sorcery speed), you have the same effect... as repeatable removal. The fact that he gets fatter as things progress is what makes it so nasty because he is almost always a 2 for one when you play him.

    Just so you know if you are able to get Dak Fayden's emblem you can steal all creatures for one mana total and your opponents can only stop it from happening if the creatures are already un-targetable before you cast the spell because if it hits the stack and is able to target the creature it doesn't matter if they counter it or make the creatures untargetable after or in response it will still trigger the emblem.

      @@dustfinger_until_dawn in standard/modern etc sure. In commander Oko is actually a rather low-medium power threat, mostly because it can only target one permanent at a time. It’s more like sorcery speed non destruction removal with the opportunity to gain more value over time if it survives, which is not guaranteed at all. It has an advantage in this regard, because it is comparatively somewhat innocuous vs. the typical things being played at your higher power table, so it might not immediately be destroyed. The extra 2 players make the difference between it being a powerhouse control piece and non-destruction sorcery speed removal.
