Title: BotG gods' legendary artifacts??
Post by: Steerpike on February 14, 2014, 01:56:05 AM
Shouldn't there have been like {Axe of Mogis} or {Urn of Ephara}?

Maybe we might get them in JTN or M15, like {Odric, Master Tactician}, that came in M13 after Innistrad Block was finished.

I don't think the minor gods have weapons like the major ones do. BNG is a small set, so I doubt they could've put them in anyway.

Oh does the lore make these guys minor gods compared to the Theros ones?

I think. I'm not a Vorthos, though, so I'm not sure.

The multicolored gods are "Demigods" while the Theros 5 are true, full Gods, if I'm not mistaken.

No, demigods are the offspring of gods and mortals. They have no godly powers but some minor powers related to their gods. These 5 were gods but the minor ones.

The minor gods of Theros do not have awesome, badass weapons like the major ones do, as maro has confirmed. Urn of Ephara would have been really funny, though.

I have a feeling that thing would be {Sphinx's Revelation}-esque turned mud.

Maro said that only the five main gods have the weapons. He said the others are Demi gods and so the main gods should have discerning quality and thing about them to separate the higher gods and Demi gods

If that's the case, then someone in Wizard's R&D department obviously has no idea what the prefix Demi- means...

Well, look at Xenagos. He can't be a full god. Haven't followed lore this block at all but he sure wasn't one last set.

if you look on wizards youtube account theres a recent video with r n d guys and they discuss this. basically they didnt want to make it to repetitive and as stated above small set so not much room.
