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.

Where it came from
Lorthos, the Tidemaker was originally released in the 2009 Zendikar expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Designed as a high-mana mythic rare, the card was intended to capture the flavor of Zendikar's massive, world-altering entities. Its inclusion in 'The List'—a rotating selection of cards from throughout the game's history inserted into modern booster packs—serves as a nod to the creature's status as a quintessential sea monster within the game's lore.
The card was illustrated by Kekai Kotaki, who focused on conveying the immense scale and oceanic power of the octopus-like creature. The design emphasizes its ability to tap permanents, mechanically representing the creature crushing land and sea forces alike. Upon its initial release, it was well-received by players focusing on casual or commander-style formats, where its high cost could be accommodated to utilize its overwhelming board presence.
