Okay listen...

✨him✨ that is all

I wanna say Wizards of the Coast is a shit company for a lot of reasons but they must be commended for one thing and that is their commitment to making Oko the sluttiest planeswalker in existence.

Oko, the Ringleader by Magali Villeneuve

He's been mewwing all day

New MtG animatic!

When Oko decides to [+2] instead of [+1].

Stupid sexy Oko!

So apparently everyvillain and their mother will be on Thunder Junction. I'm supposing this wasn't really 'leaked' as the set bundles were also 'leaked'.

Seeing as the first known one was a failure, should he try again?

Are there templating rules for when rules text referring to CARDNAME uses "he/she/they" vs "it"? Oko, the Ringleader says "he has hexproof" and Chandra Fire Artisan from WAR says "she deals that much damage," but Rose Tyler from WHO gets "+1/+1 for each time counter in it."

Thanks again for all that you do here~~!

Currently we just use “he” or “she” on planeswalkers.

EDIT: Other pronouns such as "they" are allowed on planeswalkers. I was trying to say "he" and "she" are restricted to planeswalkers, not that planeswalkers are restricted to "he" and "she".

Would you agree that Rakdos was underutilized in the OTJ story? It seems to me that with a wide cast that some of the side characters were just 'present'. Tinybones and the Cecanis each had a role, but what did Eriette contribute that wasn't related to Kellan?

I've been privately saying that the heist crew was far too wide during the story progression, and I still believe that. A good chunk of the characters are only relevant when a keyhole shaped exactly like them happens to show up, and do nothing else.

Rakdos in specific is kept back for most of the action because of the stark raw power difference between a giant demon Ravnican Parun and a random wizard.

With that said, it's not just a subjective thing. Every bit of material except the story and showcase frames supports that it was written for a much smaller crew. The trailer, promotional art, card art with the entire crew, and line up of "X joins up" enchantments all focus on a much smaller group, which was probably the intended one. Annie, Kellan, Vraska, Tinybones, Rakdos, and of course Oko himself as ringleader.

Half the size, and probably would have been much more manageable, the other characters felt mostly included as a wink to have the "Hey, you've heard that name before". (or add an irrelevant connection to the start of the arc, in Eriette's case).

As much as I like the Cecani, that same side story of theirs would have worked just as well if it hadn't been connected to the main plot.
