Has Oko been tested by somebody in Legacy yet? From what I've seen on streams so far, he seems to overperform in both Standard and Modern, so he might be Legacy-playable as well.

It dodges Bolt, but becomes attackable via artifact removal.
I'll withhold final judgement about it until I've seen it action. It could be a more aggressive flying Goyf, who knows. Stuff like...
The W6 ultimate requires more setup for retracing, though. This + Trade Routes allows repeatable recursion at a minimal opportunity cost. There's a good reason why cards like Snapcaster, Arcanist,...
Aka an instant and a sorcery, given that land/creature/artifact/enchantment are already satisfied. And since the GY still counts, killing Courier doesn't do anything. Hell, you could Entomb for it if...
Somebody on Reddit pointed out the combo of the blue land with Meloku (and Time Warp). This reminded me that Trade Routes exist. This could potentially lead to some dumb shit, especially with...
Of course the blue land is the best one. Also pretty dumb with Ancestral Recall or Time Walk if you can chain it via fetches.

This one...

Strictly worse Prismatic Vista. Yeah! :rolleyes:
Also, green pseudo-removal:

For what it's worth, it would also combo nicely with Sylvan Library. Or Wrenn & Six with a cycle land.
It might find its way into midrange decks, most prominently blue ones. As if we needed...
3 mana is somewhat expensive for doing nothing on its own, but Keranos as repeatable bolt machine saw play, so there's that. Any Howling Mine effect also makes it pretty reliable, as does JMS.

Seems interesting, but the cost is pretty high, even with cost reduction. Could do some work with KotR, though.

This might be usable somewhere.

Seems cheap enough to be worth a look.
Priest of Gix + sac outlet would also work. Altar of Dementia would probably be the best, since it also makes the Cauldron cheaper. Still seems way inferior to Show & Derp or Reanimator.
I also...

Not sure where it would fit, but I like the duality of being both a decent beater and a pseudo removal spell (that also gets better with...
Forgot about Melira.
Goblins can do the infinite combo without the Riot enchantment now, though, so that's a plus:

Looks like Persist combo has a GSZable enabler now.
The combo with Narset is obviously great, but how often would realistically use the ability without her?
Seems like a solid card for those crappy blue Modern Mill decks as a back-up win condition.
You can kill a X/2 and then curve into it, given the mana costs. 2 damage for :1::r: certainly isn't Legacy-power level, but you aren't required to use it. Plus, you can always it at the EoT of your...

While it can't target TNN itself, it allows sweepers and combat damage (when it blocks) to take care of it. Doesn't seem too shabby,...
Makes you wonder when they're going to figure out playable draw hate that is symmetrical and not fucking blue.
Cheaper is better, though. This could easily fill Maverick's/D&T's blind spot in the one mana department - unless you consider narrow stuff like Mindbreak Trap a viable option.
Seems like a wombo-combo with Little Teferi then - they can't play anything on your turn, but you can play extra stuff on theirs.

Sunforger combo?
Edit: Also, T2 equipped Jitte swings with first strike. :eyebrow:
A shame Dominaria is rotating out.
Naban, Dean of Iteration is hilarious with this.
