Steer Clear is one of the weakest commons in the set and I almost want to call it a sideboard card against aggressive decks or specific combat tricks
I like this in decks that snowball quickly, and decks that use creatures like Goreclaw or Surrak and Goreclaw
Serialized Elven, Dwarven, and Human Sol Ring cards can only be found in some The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth Collector Boosters
Usually, it can trade for slightly larger blockers, and not blocking wouldnt be an option at 7 points of attack
Why not a Bident of Thassa/Coastal Piracy/Reconnaissance Mission alternative to reward players building towards wider board states
While Im not sure if it truly makes the cut in cEDH, you could also cast Return the Favor to make your own copy of the enters-the-battlefield ability of Thassas Oracle to win on top of their ability on the stack
