This combo has been quite popular in Tron strategies that can cast the six-mana artifact at a discount. But paired with the recently printed Karn, the Great Creator, your opponent literally cannot activate the abilities of their cards. On its own, the card looks to be not much more than some casual fun.

The last card on the list is Mycosynth Lattice. I expect this addition to the MTG banned list to be well-received by the player base. Wizards has stated that, while Opal was indeed a problematic and overly consistent enabler for the Urza decks, its ban was the result of its potential to harm the future of the format. Mox Opal, while attributed the same faults as Oko, has been a Modern menace for years. While not quite the Standard-levels of dominance Oko enjoyed in the first season of Eldraine Standard, the three-mana Planeswalker is simply too effective at its rate to allow for healthy metagame diversity. Oko was also being played in other successful decks, showing up in about 40% of the entire metagame. Oko and Opal have both died for the same sins: a highly effective Urza deck that was boasting a 55% win rate in non-mirror matches. Oko, Thief of Crowns is banned in three constructive formats Oko, Thief of Crowns has been banned in his third constructed format, meeting his end alongside Mox Opal and Mycosynth Lattice.

The update addressed only the MTG Modern format, but it does so in a big way.

Wizards has posted its Magic: The Gathering banned and restricted list update for Jan.
