Because the text doesnt specify to double Okauns base power and toughness, any buffs you apply to Okaun are doubled as well

You need to play this in a dedicated discard deck, something that hasnt existed in a very long time outside of fringe shenanigans like 8-Rack, and what has been keeping those decks down hasnt been a lack of ancillary support

But by default the game trusts you to know what youre doing and wont slow you down unless you ask it to

It also auto-equips to a creature to get the looting effect going and since the assassin creature type loves hitting stuff for effects, it works all around

Thank you for sticking with me until the end
