About Lorthos, the Tidemaker

Lorthos, the Tidemaker, Legendary creature — octopus, designed by Kekai Kotaki first released in Oct, 2009 in the set Zendikar and was printed exactly in 7 different ways.

A deck that focuses on controlling the board and disrupting the opponent's strategy would benefit from using Lorthos, the Tidemaker. This card can be particularly effective in a control deck that aims to stall the game and lock down the opponent's resources. While Lorthos is a powerful card, there are other options like Cyclonic Rift that offer more immediate and versatile board control, making them better choices in most cases. However, for a theme or casual deck centered around sea creatures or octopuses, Lorthos could definitely see play for its unique flavor and potential impact on the game.

Rules

10/01/09

If an affected permanent changes controllers before its old controller’s next untap step, this ability will prevent it from being untapped during its new controller’s next untap step.

10/01/09

You may target any eight (or fewer) permanents. It’s okay if any of them are already tapped, and it’s okay if any of them are controlled by someone other than the defending player.
