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 introduced in the Zendikar expansion in 2009, designed to embody the mythic, world-altering scale of the set's ancient aquatic horrors. As an octopoid creature of immense size, it was crafted to act as a 'boss monster' that could dictate the flow of the game by tapping down enemy resources. The creature's mechanic, which requires a significant mana investment to activate, reflected the slow but inevitable power of the ocean rising to consume the battlefield.
This specific printing originates from the Commander 2014 supplemental set, which utilized a reprint policy to make iconic legendary creatures more accessible to players of the Commander format. The artwork, illustrated by Aleksi Briclot, emphasizes the creature's colossal stature and bioluminescent features, maintaining the aesthetic of the original Zendikar release while fitting into the focused, pre-constructed deck environment of its new home.
