Title: Countering the Gods
Post by: Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth on October 14, 2013, 11:33:21 AM
Can you cancel a {Heliod, God of the Sun} with an {Essense Scatter}? Is it dependent on devotion or does his static ability not matter on the stack?

He's a legendary creature in all zones other than the battlefield. You can essence scatter him even if the devotion count isn't high enough for him to materialize.

Googling to see if I can find the ruling

No ruling yet. It was just answered in the Theros FAQ post they did awhile back.

Gosh that's really annoying. I would bet everything in my wallet that he's still an enchantment & creature spell on the stack, regardless of his static ability.

That's exatly true. I was saying you were right but the only proof youll find is in that FAQ post by wizards.

I can't tell if "reeboks" is slang for one of the gods or if you're a victim of autocorrect.

Previous 4 posts = awesome
Erebos = reeboks
Nylea = nike
Thassa = Tommy Hilfiger
Heliod = heeleys
Porphoros = pumas

All gods are now shoe brands!

I'd make Thassa "TOMS" or whatever. Tommy just screams other clothes to me
