Title: Born of the Gods kinda sucks
Post by: Sparkle Ninja on April 06, 2014, 02:05:07 PM
There are only three cards in it that are actually really useful. As the name of this post suggests, the set just sucks

Enchanting maybe, but inspired they are not.

i agree its a pretty terrible set outside of like 3 cards.
Title: Re: Born of the Gods kinda sucks
Post by: MuggyWuggy on April 06, 2014, 07:52:28 PM
Awesome cards:

Bile blight
Drown in sorrow
Searing blood
Perplexing chimera will be useful for control once rotation hits. No aetherling or rev etc.
Satyr Firedancer
Brimaz
Kiora (we will see a new permanent Hexproof before rotation I believe to take place of simic charm)

Of the gods:
Phenax
Xenagos
Mogis

All very useful IMO and very powerful if played right

Xenagos + whip + Cerberus = Wtf (discard/mill cerb)

Ya bought a box and was kind of upset but since my deck is heroic it was decent for my deck but like only two cards a bit upset at myself

As long as Atheros is good idc about the rest of the set.

I am not a fan of born of gods or theros really.. The whole inspired and heroic set up is so easy to beat. Heroic..  {Dismiss into Dream}. And inspired.. Control.. But I think m14 is just way too good. They did not think to spread the love.. And I am not a monstrous fan

I feel heroic is a much stronger mechanic in limited, it's a game changing IMO

 In addition to what was mentioned above.

{Akroan Skyguard} is great in limited. And can be played well in constructed. Great early board presence.

{Courser of Kruphix} more lands anyone?
{Eidolon of Countless Battles} can get out of hand quickly
{Necrobite},  {Revoke Existence} reprints for the win.
{Pain Seer} bobs cousin

Also being good in limited doesnt mean much.. Or anything

Lol how is {Dismiss into Dream} an answer to Heroic? It's a 7 drop. A Heroic build is usually aggro, so by the time you drop it, if you aren't dead, they did something wrong.

BotG is a pretty bad set. It reminds me of Avacyn, a few meta changing staples, and filler. I'm a fan of Theros though, that set was well balanced.

Definitely had the format slowed down, I mean we got big beaters with this set, be nice to get a little more technical
Title: Re: Born of the Gods kinda sucks
Post by: Destore117 on April 07, 2014, 04:53:15 PM
I like how it definitely endorses mono color play with effects that scale off devotion/number of specific lands. I feel like its a lot simpler and a definite way to bring new players into the game.

I feel with spoilers we are gonna see some new synergies and prices are gonna flux a bit, so many cards in BNG have changed up the meta and we are barely getting it overall for standarf

Whoever says something about a Pathwalker or an Instant gets $500 XD
Title: Re: Born of the Gods kinda sucks
Post by: Ducky on April 10, 2014, 07:58:34 PM
Instants can  be played during any players turn.
What's up with the $500? Lol.

typing it is not saying it...
true though.
but yes born of the gods is no that good..
look at how many cards are in the set..
It seems like they just got lazy and left a bunch out...
