"Oko , Thief of Crowns: Exchange Gift"

Like I said in a previous blog post, Maloko si Oko and here is why.

At 3 mana , Simic Colors and a colorless you can cast Oko and he starts off with 4 Loyalty counters.

You could up that Loyalty counter to 6 by using his first ability. 

Creating Food! Now just in time for the holidays. A planeswalker who makes Food. I wonder how an artifact called food tastes like anyway. Well there is always ketchup.

Oko's second ability is a +1 that Elkifies a creature your opponents control. I can just see someone playing a Kenrith , High king in an EDH game and Oko turns him back into an Elk/Stag! Oh the flavor! It hurts my eyes! 

Oh and that 3/3 can still hurt you so be very careful who you Elkify ok?

And for his ultimate ability. You exchange a creature or artifact your control in exchange for a target creature your opponents control with power 3 or less. 

It seems like tons of Knights are 3/3. And Even the Queen Linden herself. Hmmmm. Or Basically you could eliminate the threat of that 3/3 Elk you just made by exchanging food for it. Seems fitting doesn't it? Oko works hard doesn't he?
