veritablecvn already provided you a link about Nadu, but I wanted to respond about Oko, Thief of Crowns as well.
Wizards was pretty open about what happened with Oko - essentially Wizards did playtest it, but were too much inside their headspace. The problematic ability - the +1, was designed to build up your own board by turning low-value food tokens into creatures. During playtesting, Wizards extensively used the ability for its intended purpose, and it was fine.
Except for one little problem - they were so focused on its intended purpose, they did not realize it also acted as a removal spell. That error was a bit silly, but silly in the kind of way that can sometimes happen when a group of people all look at something for too long, and all collectively get focused on what they think it says, instead of what it does.

I know that you were referring to a feature on this forum, but I wonder if WotC still playtests card before printing them, because I cannot imagine how anyone at WotC could have thought that either Oko, Thief of Crowns or Nadu, Winged Wisdom were even remotely balanced, before they released those cards.

Yeah shifting the conversation more towards modern... can't help but giggle at "format warping" just because of how everything has been in modern since Horizons.....but you are not wrong though I certainly think we would see it played lot...Psychic Frog would probably love it! in the same way The One Ring goes around as it does it would probably be great to fight boros energy bears... so long as Field of the Dead and Oko, Thief of Crowns are out of the picture and the one ring likely leaving soon maybe Uro isn't that crazy of an idea

I was on a hiatus from actually playing paper magic during the Standard release of Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath so I don't really have grasp of the power of this card specifically... but I cant help but wonder if this card by itself could ever return or even maybe in the next upcoming December Ban list announcement/update?
When I do any digging into what decks looked like that were running Uro I tend to notice two other cards alongside it.
The three of these cards together proved to be too much for the Pioneer and Modern formats to handle... but with the latest additions of the newest Foundations set for Pioneer and Modern now being on its 3rd Horizons set (in addition to universes beyond) does anyone have any thoughts on if we could see it return?

Mortlocke and legendofa, regarding PK's video and the overall point about the financial impact this will have, I think that Magic as a whole is overvalued from a collectable standpoint. The "value" of cards is all about perception in a given moment. Ten years ago or so, Tarmogoyf was a $100 card because of how good it was in modern. The impact of powercreep and a trickle of reprints eventually led to the price cratering to what it is today (around $13). Oko, Thief of Crowns was over $40 for quite a while before it was eventually banned in multiple formats which cut the price by over half. A bunch of people and stores spent a lot of money on those cards and others like them, and almost all the value is gone. It's just the risk we all take as Magic players.
I think that fear of pissing people off who spent big money on cards has prevented bans in the past, and not just in Commander. I am very sure that the $100+ price tag on The One Ring is one of the big reasons it hasn't been banned in Modern. I think that cowardice does the Magic community a disservice in a few ways. Firstly, it makes the games worse for everyone. Secondly, it causes those cards that maybe should be banned to creep up in price even more because they are so good... making it harder and harder to ban them without making people mad. I applaud the rules committee for being brave enough to take that risk because they are going to take a lot of heat over this.
While this does suck for people who have spent a lot on cards that are now plummeting in value, my hope is that this also serves to lower the price of cards in general. Wizards has gotten good at printing cards that cost a lot as singles because of commander. If people don't want to spend as much on cards, maybe that makes all cards more affordable, which will be good for the community as a whole. I do hope that the card shops hold up okay.

SufferFromEDHD I'm sincerely honored you're asking for my opinion. Sadly, walkers, tokens and proliferation are not my strong suit. I will give you my thoughts for what it's worth. Some suggestions are better than others but I want to throw the best possible PW's I found for your strategy/what you're looking for...
Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury - The best PW for your deck IMO as it creates mana dork tokens to defend itself/proliferate, is naturalize and potentially even draw.
Garruk, Primal Hunter - Maybe not because of triple green in a 3 color deck. It makes tokens, draws cards and can create a potential army. Really depends on your mana base and how much of a payoff you believe you can achieve with it
Liliana, Heretical Healer Flip - Can potentially create a token upon death. Its trigger might be a bit difficult given your lack of creatures and the payoff is nothing crazy given it's a flip walker but potentially worth considering
Oko, the Ringleader - Seems solid. Fair mana cost, (virtual) card advantage, token generation to defend itself, and a strong ult that is easy to achieve.
Oko, Thief of Crowns - Only reason I mention is because of how broken he was in modern. Idk if it can hold it's weight in EDH but it can come down early and really mess with one guys commander centric deck.
Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools - Creates lots of tokens to defend itself, card advantage/sac outlet and a strong ult.
Vraska, Betrayal's Sting - Card advantage, proliferation, creature and removal/transformation. It's ult could be an alt wincon perhaps given proliferation?
The Ozolith - Would this card work for your deck?
DemonDragonJ on What Card Should Replace Otherworld …

DarkKiridon, I cannot in good conscience use a card as utterly overpowered as Oko, Thief of Crowns; Teferi, Hero of Dominaria is nice, but I cannot afford to raise the mana curve of this deck; Ajani, Sleeper Agent is definitely worth considering; Forgotten Ancient is definitely worth the higher cost over Mana gorger Hydra; and Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion is very nice, but that would leave the deck with one less card that synergizes with Flux Channeler, although that is not necessarily a good reason for evaluation a potential modification to this deck.
Caerwyn, those are both excellent choices, although that would leave the deck with one less card that synergizes with Flux Channeler, although I suppose that that should not be the most prominent reason for deciding whether or not to include a card in this deck.

I also recommend Vraska, Betrayal's Sting.
My other picks are:
Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion is good.
I'm a personal fan of Managorger Hydra.
