Omo, Queen of Vesuva is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
Whenever Omo enters or attacks, put an everything counter on each of up to one target land and up to one target creature. Each land with an everything counter on it is every land type in addition to its other types. Each nonland creature with an everything counter on it is every creature type.
Complete guide
Omo, Queen of Vesuva is a versatile Shapeshifter that reshapes the identity of every permanent she touches. By using unique everything counters, she can turn your lands into every possible terrain and your creatures into every known species. This commander opens up incredible tribal and land-based synergies that were previously impossible to combine.
Universal Identity
Omo's primary ability triggers whenever she enters the battlefield or attacks. You may place an everything counter on up to one target land and up to one target creature. Once a land has this counter, it gains every land type, including all basic types like Forest and Island, and non-basic types like Urza's, Locus, or Desert. Similarly, nonland creatures with these counters become every creature type, from Elf to Eldrazi.
The Layer System and Types
The type-changing effects of Omo are continuous effects that apply in Layer 4. Because the ability specifies the permanents are these types 'in addition to' their other types, they do not lose their original names or abilities. For example, a land that becomes every land type can now tap for any color of mana associated with the five basic land types, and it counts as a Gate, a Cave, and a Sphere all at once.
Common Pitfalls
A common mistake is assuming the everything counter itself grants the types. The counter is merely a marker; Omo's static abilities are what grant the types to objects with those counters. If Omo leaves the battlefield, the permanents still have the everything counters, but they lose the extra types until Omo or another effect referencing everything counters returns. Also, remember that Omo only grants every creature type to 'nonland' creatures.
Strategic Timing
To maximize Omo, you want to trigger her ability as often as possible. Since it triggers on both entry and attack, giving her Haste or using blink effects can quickly spread everything counters across your board. This allows you to turn on specific tribal bonuses or land-type requirements early in the game.
Interaction examples
Solemn SimulacrumWhen Omo, Queen of Vesuva attacks, you target Solemn Simulacrum with her ability to place an everything counter on it. The Simulacrum is now every creature type. If you have an effect that gives +1/+1 to Elves, or an ability that triggers when a Dragon enters, the Simulacrum will now benefit from or trigger those effects because it is officially an Elf, a Dragon, and every other type.
Sakura-Tribe ElderBy placing an everything counter on Sakura-Tribe Elder, it retains its ability to sacrifice itself for a land but gains all creature types. If you control a card that says 'Creatures you control of the chosen type have Haste,' you can choose any type, and the Sakura-Tribe Elder will have Haste, allowing it to attack and trigger other synergies before you decide to sacrifice it.
