Lore

Why it matters

As a mythic rare card from the Zendikar set, Lorthos, the Tidemaker represents the pinnacle of power within its collection. Its ability to tap a large number of permanents forces opponents to manage their resources carefully, making it a formidable presence that defines the board state whenever it appears.

Card face

What it does

Whenever Lorthos attacks, you may pay 8 generic mana. If you do, tap up to eight target permanents. Those permanents don't untap during their controllers' next untap steps.

When Lorthos emerges from his deepwater realm, the tides bow to his will and the coastline cowers in his presence.
