The moment I saw Oko, Thief of Crowns, I believe I wasn't the only one who thought "What a different card!". And isn't it quite different? Usually planeswalkers have a +1 ability that gives card advantage, a -2 or -3 that is removal and an ult that wins game. But we found none of this in this new card.

We see a +2 that creates a Food Token. A +1 that turns any creature or artifact into a 3/3 without skills. And lastly, a -5 that swaps a creature or artifact of yours with an opponent's creature with power 3 or less.
Why would we play with this card?
or Devoted Evolution. The new planeswalker is able to mitigate these threats and put them within reach of Lightning Bolt.It turns any creature or artifact of yours into a Wild Nacatl. It means that a midrange deck can play with creatures that are supposed to be useless in late game like Birds of Paradise or Noble Hierarch. Especially combines well with cards that exile opponent's cards such as Tidehollow Sculler, the exile becomes permanent. Also with artifacts that draws cards when entering the battlefield as Arcum's Astrolabe.Ad
Another point: it has to be killed fast! His +1 does not appear, but it means that he inflicts a clock of 3 damage the moment he enters, 6 damage in the second turn and 9 damage in the third. It's 18 damage up to two turns after he enters. Not only that, his ult is also very valuable as we trade an opponent's useful creature for your own Food Token.
Lastly, it gives you access to lifegain. But paying two manas for 3 life is not very efficient in everlasting formats, which is almost a dead card to be dealt to your opponent when using Oko's -5.Which deck suits Oko, Thief of Crowns?
I imagine Oko with Midrange decks: trying to get value by increasing your creatures, decreasing your opponent's creatures and gaining life and time in the game. It matches cards that do something the moment they come into play and have a small body, so they can grow in size or be exchanged for the opposing creatures without losing much value.
I thought of the following deck:
With 6 "birds of paradise" we can almost always have Liliana or Oko on turn 2. Cards like Ice-Fang Coatl are great on their own and can still grow with Oko, even to Snapcaster Mage. The only one who doesn't make sense with Oko on this list is Tarmogoyf, but he's too much value to pass up.
We can use that same idea and make a Temur deck with more card-drawing artifacts.

In this version, lightning bolt + Oko creates a removal of any creature or artifact. The blood moon can be sped up using mana dorks and Oko comes in later to create a very fast clock!
What if you just want to focus on the synergy that Oko creates? We can enjoy that we can play Mana Dork to go 4 colors!
As mentioned above, Tidehollow Sculler has incredible synergy with Oko that makes the card exiled forever! The Stoneforge Mystic package also allows you to get more value from Stoneforge by being able to put the sword on our flying creatures.
I don't know if the deck will be competitive, but it sounds like a lot of fun! I can't wait for Throne of Eldraine to be released!
