I think something practically OPPOSITE of heroic- whenever an opponent targets this creature, that player or creatures that player controls stuff. Like
Whenever a opponent casts a spell that targets this creature, that player loses 3 life.

put that on creatures the opponent would want to remove for an evil template

whats the opposite of a hero? A villian. What's the opposite of heroic? Villainous

I feel like we will see 5 new dual Scry lands like for the remaining 5 dual colours.

(Just a joke lol)

But ya I like the idea of a new heroic but for when opponents target or even something like whenever A player targets this creature *insert effect here*

Also, what planeswalker do you expect? It goes big, small, small; so there are three in Theros, one in the following set, and the last one in the set after that.
So far we have Elspeth and two new ones. W,UB, and RG.
I think we need a UG and a WG Planeswalker to cover all the bi-colors.
Maybe Kiora Atua and Dak Fayden.
Kiora would be UG
I don't know what Dak would be because I've never read the comics.

A god is a legendary enchantment creature with mysterious abilities and are able to travel between the enchantment world of Nyx and the real world of Theros.

That would be epic!!! Although I highly doubt it, there will probably be quite a bit of enchantments but they will still have some stuff from 'the real world of Theros' like Heroes, Satyrs, Centaurs, ect.

Yes, but there will have to be some non enchantment creatures, Wizards wouldn't make a whole set with only them because they didn't know how people would respond to them. The set will most likely have some normal creatures that are "invading Nyx" or are "servants" or "devoted to the gods". Maybe a Heroes quest to destroy one of the gods or a war between that gods that centers around devotion.

Although if they were all enchantment creatures (because like you said, wizards is testing the waters with them) you could potentially have a green wrath in limited

{G}{G}{2}

Sorcery

Destroy all enchantments

Post by: Birdbrain on September 15, 2013, 06:28:15 PM
Doing all enchantment creatures in the last set would create an interesting limited format because the colors have more options and it could shift the color pie around without actually shifting the color pie around. And it would be different and hone skills as people adapt to something new

Yeah, I would love it too but it would confuse beginners (could you imagine trying to learn during that set) and would anger too many people (there are already people throwing a fit about these enchantment creatures).

Everyone was excited for Kamigawa when was first revealed "Ninjas, samurai, dragons oh my!"  then people got Saviors of Kamigawa (I personally love Kamigawa but many consider it as one of the worst sets ever). My point is players are fickle and Wizards knows this too so they won't do anything too drastic, like make a set with only enchantment creatures.

Post by: Birdbrain on September 15, 2013, 06:50:17 PM
They might if they extended pillow fort into all colors. Not just white. There's also potential to make new archetypes here. They could even push the cost of enchantment creatures sense they have more ways to be removed
Title: Re: Born of the Gods (Baseless Speculation and Spoilers)
Post by: Birdbrain on September 15, 2013, 06:54:19 PM
Or they could make the enchantment creatures do things that enchantments or creatures can't do on there own

Plus there's the fact that people are fickle like you said

I just want to see a set with all enchantment creatures because the idea is so obscured

I don't get why there will be so many Green Planeswalkers then. That means that Green has (depending on what you splash)  {Garruk, Caller of Beasts},  {Domri Rade},  {Vraska the Unseen}, Kiora TBA {U}{G}, and apparently Ajani being {G}{W}. This means that you have every possible 2 colour green pw!!

Neither Kiora Atua or a {W}{G} Ajani are confirmed, they are just, as the title suggests, Baseless Speculation.

I think in the timeline of how it is. R/w is when he was young, goldmane was his oldest and caller of pride was in middle. I think he'll be in the middle of r/w and caller of pride. Thinking of what his true spark is supposed to be, the reason he got his spark. Or when he's older than goldmane. All wise and crap.

So I finally got around to reading some of the articles on Daily MTG and read this one just then: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/mm/265

Now I'm mainly talking about the top half there where he goes into the concept of the Heros building up after beating their various trials. Got me to thinking a possible revamp of the levelling up, but it has only been a couple years since Level Up was around. This lead me further to maybe an ability for creatures that triggers once they kill/exile another creature (maybe specifically one with Monstorous).

Do you get what I mean and any thoughts on that, just for discussion sake? It's just that MaRo mentioned Heroes building up in all three parts of that article, but articulated a bit better in the above one, Part III...

Really good connection, I didn't even think about how similar it was to level up. Your mechanic (level up based on killing) is a good idea and I can see it in the near future.

That's actually a really cool mechanic! Slap on  {Bow of Nylea} for deathtouch and a  {Boros Charm} for indestructible and maybe something like  {Enlarge} so they have to block!!!

I think in the timeline of how it is. R/w is when he was young, goldmane was his oldest and caller of pride was in middle. I think he'll be in the middle of r/w and caller of pride. Thinking of what his true spark is supposed to be, the reason he got his spark. Or when he's older than goldmane. All wise and crap.
i think caller of the pride is older than goldmane. Why does caller have a sacr and goldmane doesn't?

Makeup.

Not to spoil the fun, but Bruna and the ordeals don't work together quite that well. Won't go into details since this isn't the rules board, but basically, you can trigger the ordeals only every second time she attacks.

Don't the ordeals fall off? Or are you talking about the boost they give you?
Title: Re: Born of the Gods (Baseless Speculation and Spoilers)
Post by: MementoMori on September 19, 2013, 09:13:50 AM
The Ordeals and Bruna both trigger on attack. That trigger is checked once per combat. You won't be able to attack with her, put the Auras on her, and then have the Auras trigger.

If you block and put the Auras on then, they'll be able to trigger when she next attacks.
Title: Re: Born of the Gods (Baseless Speculation and Spoilers)
Post by: MarduArrow on September 19, 2013, 10:32:59 AM
It works perfectly if the ordeals are already on her when she attacks, and yes birdbrain they do, but when all the abilities trigger simultaneously you get to decide how they go on the stack, putting bruna's ability first means it will resolve last, bringing back the ordeals you just sacrificed, and to expand on my earlier combo revelation, imagine how nasty this could get if you had 4 of each ordeal

Thinking back to the Level Up system as well as the whole "Heroic" mechanic
What if they recreated level up with like. Either the cards renown as a hero or some sort of way to give it devotion to a particular god which would give that card abilities based on the god.
Pay {X} + Tap: to give this creature faith in (god name)
"If this creature has (however much faith to) (god name) they gain (ability/mechanic here)"
That's my idea on it.

... a possible revamp of the levelling up, but it has only been a couple years since Level Up was around. This lead me further to maybe an ability for creatures that triggers once they kill/exile another creature (maybe specifically one with Monstorous).
Im still going with this. Yes it is Theros specific, but maybe broaden it to creatures with +1/+1 counters. Makes sense flavour wise for heroes to do this.

But I see what you're saying, like how the Gods 'championed' mortals to do a task they couldn't be bothered to do.

Edit: a pity Champion is already a thing.

Best card in the set?

My vote is  {Fleecemane Lion} starts as a 2 mana 3/3 which is great then POW pay 5 make him indestructible AND Hexproof!! (Also a +1/+1 counter on it)

Yes but what does a 4/4 do? 90% of the time he is easily blocked and even if he gets through, its not hard to come back from losing four. IMO the best card in the set is {Phalanx Leader}. I can't tell you how many games I ended in the prerelease because I had an army of 4/4s or 5/5s (yes I can, the answer is 9, I won 4 rounds and lost in the finals 2-1). The best part about him though is leaving mana untapped. It scares the s**t out of your opponent because they think "if I block he is going to pump stuff up and I lose my creatures". He's unpredictable, effective, low cost, board changing and Heroic is WAY undervalued.

{Doom Blade} and {Ratchet Bomb} take out {Fleecemane Lion} before it is Monstrous too. But the difference is, if I take out Fleecemance Lion you are left with nothing where as if you take out {Phalanx Leader} I still have an army of 4/4s or 5/5s.

{W}{U}
{W}{B} Athreos (a guess based on {Scholar of Athreos})
{W}{R} Iroas (a guess based on {Priest of Iroas})
{W}{G}
{U}{B}
{U}{R} Keranos (source {Steam Augury} flavor text, also mentioned in {Lightning Strike})
{U}{G} Kruphix (a guess based on {Prophet of Kruphix)
{B}{R} Mogis (source: {Fanatic of Mogis} and {Deathbellow Raider})
{B}{G} Pharika, God of Poison (source: {Pharika's Mender} and http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/ur/263)
{R}{G}

Other stuff:
Phenax ({B} and ? referenced in {Disciple of Phenax})
Karametra ({G} and ? rumored to be {G}{W}) source: {Karametra's Acolyte}
Ephara ({W} and ? rumored to be {W}{U} source: {Ephara's Warden})
Xenagos (possibly {R}{G} god)

Through process of elimination I am saying Phenax is {U}{B}, Karametra is {W}{G} and Ephara is {W}{U}. If anyone disagrees feel free to say something but I am relatively sure.

I think something practically OPPOSITE of heroic- whenever an opponent targets this creature, that player or creatures that player controls stuff. Like

Idk about your villainy thing I think that since we only saw 2 Black Heroic cards that we will see a bizzaro heroic mechanic like say villainy but I disagree with your whenever opponents cast a spell that targets it. I'm thinking:
1. Something like {Spellskite} like pay {2} and then villainy triggers.
OR
2. Just simply more Black heroics that destroy/force opponent to sac a creature (like  {Agent of the Fates}, maybe one like when you cast a spell that targets it you may pay 1 life if you do, draw a card

"he is now working on a plan that would elevate him from mortal to god."

the thing is. Even if that is true, there probably is a {R}{G} god anyway, right now. I'm guessing he'll either absorb that gods essence, or enslave the five gods introduced in theros

Yeah, most people are assuming that Ajani will be {W}{G}. The reason is people don't think that we would have two {W} planeswalkers and Ajani was only {W}{R} when he was pissed off and has sense calmed down.

What about the minor gods? Here is a chart we can fill in as we find it out:

{W}{U}
{W}{B} Athreos (a guess based on {Scholar of Athreos})
{W}{R} Iroas (a guess based on {Priest of Iroas})
{W}{G}
{U}{B}
{U}{R} Keranos (source {Steam Augury} flavor text, also mentioned in {Lightning Strike})
{U}{G} Kruphix (a guess based on {Prophet of Kruphix)
{B}{R} Mogis (source: {Fanatic of Mogis} and {Deathbellow Raider})
{B}{G} Pharika, God of Poison (source: {Pharika's Mender} and http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/ur/263)
{R}{G}

Other stuff:
Phenax ({B} and ? referenced in {Disciple of Phenax})
Karametra ({G} and ? rumored to be {G}{W}) source: {Karametra's Acolyte}
Ephara ({W} and ? rumored to be {W}{U} source: {Ephara's Warden})
Xenagos (possibly {R}{G} god)

Through process of elimination I am saying Phenax is {U}{B}, Karametra is {W}{G} and Ephara is {W}{U}. If anyone disagrees feel free to say something but I am relatively sure.
Thought I'd repost this...

As a theif, because Dack Fayden is the best theif in the multiverse they could push him {B}{U} but then there would be two {U}{B} planeswalkers in the same set. Possibly Grixis or Rakdos (especially if he is really pissed off about something)

As a theif, because Dack Fayden is the best theif in the multiverse they could push him {B}{U} but then there would be two {U}{B} planeswalkers in the same set. Possibly Grixis or Rakdos (especially if he is really pissed off about something)
Right on man! I've been thinking he's more Dimir too! He's a theif, the best at deceit in the multiverse!
Yeah, I never understood why he was {U}{R}

Idk if this has been cleared yet, but dack fayden is guaranteed as a planeswalker in theros. Assuming the picture spoiler is true, ajani will be the other planeswalker. I think dack will be red, blue, or blue/red
I don't know, the way MaRo has been acting on Blogatog they don't yet have plans to make Dack Fayden into a card. Of course he might just be acting dumb.

Could they possibly make 5 walkers
One to act as a champion of each god
Got this idea from  {Elspeth, Sun's Champion}
So either we'd see new walkers (unlikely) or wed get
Jace, Sea's champion
Garruk, The Wild's Champion
Chandra, Flame's Champion
Lilianna, Death's Champion

This is also unlikely due to reprints of walkers in m14 why reprint and then make new ones too? but a possibility all the same!

Especially with Chandra and garruk getting new forms in m14. That would create an influx of planeswalkers... Can you imagine 3 different jaces in standard at one time?

Oh man, I hope not! I'm not trying to squash your idea (it would be quite a cool concept) but please, Wizards of the Coast if you're reading, give us new characters/Planeswalkers in card form, not the same old ones over and over again! Please!!! The multiverse is suppose to be infinite, so there can't be just seven or so worth talking about! New ones, or at least ones you've hinted at for years, not an 8th Garruk, 14th Lili or 27th Jace!

You scared me there but there are only 4 Garruk ({Garruk Wildspeaker}, {Garruk, Primal Hunter}, {Garruk Relentless}, and {Garruk, Caller of Beasts}), 3 Lilianas ({Liliana Vess}, {Liliana of the Veil}, {Liliana of the Dark Realms}) and 4 Jaces ({Jace Beleren}, {Jace the Mind Sculptor}, {Jace, Memory Adept}, {Jace, Architect of Thought}). I do get your point though, some new characters would be nice.

They are, in a way. I said "for lack of a better word, tribal decks" because they technically aren't tribes like elves, goblins, ect. but the deck would have a tribal feel to it. Also the two aren't enough to excuse making a defender deck, I would need some more defender love like something that deals damage equal to the number of defenders.

i saw this from looking up mtg speculation and this looks like a fun page. So i been wondering, Xenagos wants to become immortal and Ajani and Elspeth look to be banding together to stop him but if this all happens in BoTG, what do you think is left for Journey into Nyx or vice versa?
Title: Re: Born of the Gods (Baseless Speculation and Spoilers)
Post by: Spikepit on November 12, 2013, 05:40:48 PM
I think it might be more of a rallying and rising power in Born of the Gods with the actual show down in Journey Into Nyx. I'd say, just from reading way into the title of the set and my own speculation, that Xenagos has ascended to the god like position he wanted and Ajani and Elspeth have to get up there to have at him. Heliod, Thasa, Erobos etc all have the starry sky wherever there is shadow on themselves, I take that as enough indication that's where they 'live', making sense to me that's where Xenagos would be in set 3.

Also, I've read two places (excluding a third on Facebook, because it's worse than Wikipedia!) that {Chaoslace} is getting a reprint. Thoughts? I call shenanigans but thought I'd ask first.

Unfortunately looking back over my history now to cite said references I can't find them. 😔

Also they've just released details of J.I.N. The symbol again is a mash up of Theros and Born of the Gods. 165 cards, one big set and 2 small.

Post by: Spikepit on November 12, 2013, 08:48:50 PM
Which why I called shenanigans on it, because unless there's a mechanic that factors in the colour of the card also in BotG, I can't see any of the laces making much difference. It's early days yet and I did only see it twice (amongst all the other other speculations!) which I can't find the links to now anyway. 😔

 {Ajani's Chosen} is sort of like that.

Thing is, you can't even cast an Aura without a target, so it would have to be a regular enchantment that made a token, gained the Aura subtype and "enchant creature," then attached itself to the token. Then, if that token died, it'd have to revert back to a regular enchantment and have a way to attach to some other creature.

Sounds even harder to fit on a card and explain than bestow, and bestow's reminder text already leaves out a pretty key part of its mechanic. Also sounds like recreating equipment for no good reason.

That card seems to be a mistake that will never be reprinted, despite the set it's in. Ofcourse I could be wrong, but it just doesn't seem like that card should ever be in standard.

Looks like we will most likely have

2) Ajani

I think that the next set will have Xenagos as a God, but not a planeswalker. I don't think they would print a planeswalker two sets back to back and have him as a legendary in the same set.

I think the planeswalkers will be: Ajani and (I really am hoping for) Dack Fayden. Obviously Ajani if you look at the art but the newest MTG comic has Dack Fayden on Theros and he has to avoid Ashiok.

I think the planeswalkers will be: Ajani and (I really am hoping for) Dack Fayden. Obviously Ajani if you look at the art but the newest MTG comic has Dack Fayden on Theros and he has to avoid Ashiok.

I meant we had the planeswalker already and we will now have the god, not both in one. Am I right in that there hasn't been allusions to a Gruul colored God yet?
No, because there has been allusion to Xenagos being a god.

NO! Ashiok must be a girl! To paraphrase Anchorman:

Guess what, I do. I know that one day Ashiok and I are gonna to get married on top of a mountain, and there's going to be flutes playing and trombones and flowers and garlands of fresh herbs. And we will dance till the sun rises! And then our children will form a family band! And we will tour the countryside and you won't be invited!

No, it doesn't, but they do it anyways. At Theros I played one of them in the finals and he had 2x {Triad of Fates}, 1x {Reaper of the Wilds}, 1x {Hythonia the Cruel}, 2x {Agent of Fates}, a {Miscutter Hydra} and one of the Promos. Besides the promo, none were foil. I asked him how he got 7 non-foil rares and he just ignored me.

Ephara ({W} and ? rumored to be {W}{U} source: {Ephara's Warden})
Xenagos (possibly {R}{G} god)

Through process of elimination I am saying Karametra is {W}{G} and Ephara is {W}{U}. If anyone disagrees feel free to say something but I am relatively sure.

Phenax is confirmed {U}{B}, thanks Birdbrain!

I think that the {W}{G} god is karametra. My evidence for this is the flavour text of {Setessan Battle-Priest} and {Karametra's acolyte}. Karametra herself might be a leonin, if that's what you were going for.

i would think a god of orphans and widows would be one that they could take refuge with, and be comforted by. I would think the mark of a god of orphans and widows would be overwhelming compassion.

I meant more in terms of control. From what I found we have:
- {Loxodon Smiter}, pretty sweet, funny to get {Thoughtseize}d when clutching him alone.

- {Plasm Capture}, seems decent enough, I mean, if you like {Mana Drain}.

- {Progenitor Mimic}, fun shenanigans.

- {Prophet of Krufix}, {Seedborn Muse} anyone?

- {Voice of Resurgence}, maybe the wrong direction, yet very solid.

If she can survive for 4 turns, it's pretty much GG

That's true for almost every plainswalker that's relevant and not trash (Gideon)
You misspelled {Liliana of the Dark Realms}.

Gideon actually has a use in aggressive mirrors because you end up stalling out and then he gets big fast.

You both misspelled  {Sorin Markov}
How do you guys not know how to spell {Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded}?
Sorin is amazing especially in higher life formats. He played well in blue black control back around zendikar scars time.

Tibalt has a perfect place in my chaos cube, but other than that he is total toilet paper.

I made everyone stop playing control with my Orzhov Control deck. It's a discard deck that I named control for some reason but you can look at it in the standard thread.

I kinda hope so. Maybe they can finally ban zur.

I doubt these gods will be indestructible but I would not be surprised if they follow the same/similar devotion related transformation.

Post by: Destore117 on December 29, 2013, 03:20:29 AM
I don't think they'd be indestructible. As they are most likely lesser gods. But I'm sure they'll have fun effects.
Pharika might even bring back Infect ^-^ (ok maybe not but is supposedly god of poison right?)
I'd picture
Atheros {2}{B}{W}
Legendary Creature- God
Whenever Atheros enters the battlefield each opponent loses 1 life
{1}{W}{W}:Gain life equal to life lost by opponents this turn
{1}{B}{B}:Each opponent loses 1 life
2/3

Curiosity is really more of a red blue thing IMO, and I don't think some flavor text indicates it. Like Jura flavor text on m14 cards, but he wasn't in if :P just my thoughts.

He does seem too easily flawed (eg. {Electrickery} as previously mentioned) and not worth the rare slot he'd probably be placed as and/or Legendary status (if actually real that is...). Did this card read "dealt exactly 1 damage" or "dealt exactly 1 combat damage"? Because that wording makes the world of difference.

If it's the former, meh.
If it's the latter, imma reconsider my monowhite Tron EDH commander slot...

I don't think it's real. Sound out the name a few times aloud. It would be cool but also way too flimsy. I thinkif they made an Achilles card it would be akroan, so maybe RW in the cost. He is a war hero, so double strike sounds appropriate though

Yes the border starts in M15 but those "spoiler" cards dont even have a border, flavor text (despite having enough room), and are lacking copyright info. Also {akroan horse} shows exactly how close to actually mythology they will get, this white card is way too close to achilles.

{W}{R} Iroas (a guess based on {Priest of Iroas})
{W}{G} Karametra ({Karametra's Acolyte}, through process of elimination, it kind of has to be)
{U}{B} Phenax (source: referenced in {Disciple of Phenax} and named in http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/ur/276) Thanks Birdbrain!
{U}{R} Keranos (source {Steam Augury} flavor text, also mentioned in {Lightning Strike})
{U}{G} Kruphix (a guess based on {Prophet of Kruphix)
{B}{R} Mogis (source: {Fanatic of Mogis} and {Deathbellow Raider})
{B}{G} Pharika, God of Poison (source: {Pharika's Mender} and http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/ur/263)
{R}{G} Xenagos (source: http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/ur/281)\

Post by: Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth on January 08, 2014, 08:44:06 PM
IDK.....planeswalkers are supposed to be super rare (hence the new Mythic rarity made for them) and having at least 19 (14 gods, Elspeth, Zenagos, Ashiok, Kiora, and Unnamed JOU) on one plane would really break the whole system and lore. The planeswalker's guide said that Zenagos only ascended because of some ritual so I can the gods being extremely powerful wizards that work together to dominate the mortals, but all of them being planeswalkers can't be true.

i would think a card iluding to what your iluding to in that title would be {R}

Of course you can. They'd be different card types, and probably have different names.

i think the green one would surprise you. For example, it works well with {conjerer's closet}

Also, gruul was supposed to have a mechanic were it fights things when it enters the battlefield, but they dropped it because it was too powerful

And if they do pay the tribute, there's a mechanic called trample you can give it. It's playable, you just need to be prepared to work with either discussion

Edit: also, if they pay the tribute. You could always drop a {pit fight} for a garunteed removal, and then steamroll your opponent

theres a difference between the ragebeast and this. The ragebeast forces all of your creatures that enter to fight. This just makes itself fight, plus it could become huge. Which green has plenty of tools that can take advantage of its size

There's a thing called control. "Nah, no counters for you." "Nah, Charm it."

The mana costs on all of them are insane though.

well, for one thing, you could just wait until after you played everything else you wanted in that turn and it becomes pointless that your lands get tapped or not. And even if you are saving mana for other things. {fog} for instance, green has mana dorks that an get around it. So the tribute is pointless like that

Just saw some of the art of Xenagos as a god.
Guessing he takes first the 5 gods power in BotG then Ashiok's power in the last part of this cycle. Also assuming based on the art there'll be a new Ajani. And this is my own guess that there'll be fallen gods when Xenagos takes their power (assuming that he doesn't kill them)

Idk if any of this has been said just thought I'd throw my 2 cents around.
So there's Elspeth
Ajani
Kiora as PW's (if Ajani gets printed)
Xenagos
So that's 4 walkers. So far

No, they will give you what they think is the worse choice. With a good deck, you can turn the "worse choice" into the best thing ever. For example, with this new card, if they have a kill spell, they will let you have the counters, but {Fling} or a like card makes that the wrong choice. If they let you Fight, giving the thing deathtouch can take out some huge beasts. The trick is making sure you can abuse both options.

So I always hear miracle stories of people pre ordering cards for like 3 bucks a playset, where do you guys general pre order if you do?

I need a playset of foil {Pain Seer}s because that art is sick.

Wizards site very clearly states hybrid mana counts as both colors of devotion but only adds one to the count when counting for the new gods.

So Ephara Phenax Mogis and that centaur forest goddess that I can't remember the name are most likely being cards.
Guessing the children of the gods are things such as
Centaurs for the forest chick.
Minotaurs for Mogis
Lions perhaps for Ephara or Sphinxes?
Blightful. Poisonous things such as rats and disease in the form of -1's and life loss for Phenax
Basically creatures
Which will count towards 2 colors of their own gods
Such as {Polukranos World Eater} idk about mixed devotion/mana costs like {Judge's Familiar}
But there's my ideas.
Also will be interested to see something like...MORE PHALANXES!

Upon second look, it has the potential to be better if you find a combo that can tap and untap it multiple times a turn

I see your point but not really like Bob just does his thing whereas this one either has to swing or has to use another card like {Springleaf Drum} to activate BUT then again this card is quite awesome.

Creatures you control have Tribute 1 (or 2) (as this creature enters the battlefield any opponent may place 1 (or 2} +1/+1 counter(s) on it.)
If the tribute is not paid you gain 1 (or 2) life.
4/6

I know this is a bit silly but a card that thrills me is Sky Reaping. It empowers green! By ramping that card should have enough to outpace any flyer ({flame-wreath Phoenix}, pshaw, {eater of hope} whatever, {flamestoker dragon}, get outta here) AND you give green some scry to boot.

One thing I've loved about theros is it's helping me upgrade some modern staples. Old core cards keep getting renamed and given a free scry mechanic to boot.

Worse. Although, he has the ability to be activated multiple times a turn and can be "shut off" if he tries to kill you, your opponent can easily kill you with it and he takes A LOT of building around to truly abuse him.

Worse. Although, he has the ability to be activated multiple times a turn and can be "shut off" if he tries to kill you, your opponent can easily kill you with it and he takes A LOT of building around to truly abuse him.
How can they kill you with it?
By tapping and untapping it. They can easily tap it and when you get to your untap step you top deck a 5-drop.

It really depends on how standard pans out. Inspiration is cool, but it requires multiple pieces to be affective and dies easily to removal. There is a good chance that stupid Devotion decks will continue to run standard. If that happens, there will be less demand for the promo and the card will be worth less.

Agreed.  I like it.

But won't there be 2 red green gods?  Because there should be one for each guild, and the add Xenagos on top of it all...
No, Xenagos is the only green-red god. Apparently there was no Gruul colored god before all of this. It doesn't make much sense, but we have to accept it.

No, they talked about it somewhere. (I think in the trailer) Basically, Mogis sent the Minotaurs against the humans and Elspeth led the humans to fight the Minotaurs. This fight somehow caused some sort of revelry ritual which allowed him to ascend. Now everyone is like, "God Elspeth! This is why we can't have nice things! GTFO!" And now all the other gods are like, "Whoa! What do we do! These humans we have been forcing into work are going to realize we aren't that special!" So everyone is like all mad and confused.

So he's still a plainswalker when he's a creature?  That was what I wanted to get at because if he wasn't then the one would turn back and maybe they both stay. Wasn't sure

I absolutely love blue's new boardwipe. Better than {Evacuation}! Not strictly better, because the effects are slightly different...but still more relevant in most situations! Definitely reason enough to stick 1 {Archeomancer} in a stall/control deck, because you can {Evacuation} every turn if you have 8 mana! I used to do this with {Devastation Tide} in last standard and it was vey effective.

Is this a Constructed Playable card?

Ghostblade Eidolon 2{W}
Enchantment Creature — Spirit    Uncommon
Bestow 5{W}
Double strike
Enchanted creature gets +1/+1 and has double strike.

My reasoning is {Boon Satyr} is {3}{G}{G} to bestow and this has a similar effect....

Hmm, possibly but there's LOTs of removal that hits {Muravault}. It's not a terribly difficult card to deal with. I'm really not into this set...blue based control got jack. The only cards right now that seem useful are {Vortex Elemental} (maybe), {Glimpse of the Sun God}, and maybe {Nullify}. But ugh! Couldn't it have been 1U instead of UU?
Really? Blue was dominating standard with Mono blue devotion, Azorius and Esper control. Did blue really need that much out of this set? This set will bring variety to standard, which was getting stale.

I think a lock based around roman mythology would be more about artifacts for some reason

I definitely agree with you. Like things similar to the Golden Fleece or the Lion's Mane the shield of Medusa.

I must say, after seeing born of the gods in its entirety I have high hopes that this game is turning around strategy wise. I'm going to start playing semi-competitively

Wow, so Tumblr just pointed out a great thing about Ephara. She is great as a flicker/bounce commander. I actually half-way think it is somewhat decent now.

Greek mythology, Romans were just cowards and thieves, stealing everything from weapons, to battle tactics, to the Greeks religion. ie, there really is no such thing as roman mythology

It would only make sense to be printed again as it is like Greek/Roman and they already printed an {Arena Athlete} what kind of arena is it if you're not fighting to the death to please the gods?!

What about {magus of the arena}?

And by the way. The arena was roman mythology. Not Greek

The arena wasn't Roman mythology. It was Roman FACT.

The Colloseum is still around, you know. Decrepit, but still around.
