Born of the Gods (Baseless Speculation and Spoilers)

[lotrwk]

I think the {W}{G} god is leonion. Sense that seems to be what the leonions are from that story

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.

Also the {Settesan Hawk Thinger}...

{Setessan Battle Priest} and {Setessan Griffin}. The griffin has nothing to do with Karametra though, it is part of the GW city, Setessa.

from the description, that sounds like an Amazonian society

I was going to argue about the colors. But god of orphans and widows fits {W}{G}

[Birdbrain]

Karametra is the god of widows and orphans. So I'd say that's the {W}{G} god

[Mlerner12]

Sounds more like {B}{G}

[Birdbrain]

Sounds more like {B}{G}

how the heck would a god with {B} in its coloring care about widows and orphans? Do you think it makes the widows and orphans so they will pray to it? No one would worship a god like that

Orphans and widows all have death in their lives, just a thought.

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. Wishing for everyone who takes refuge in them to both get back on there feet and find comfort in there loss

Also, Pharika was confirmed as the {B}{G} god.

[Birdbrain]

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} Karametra, god of orphans and widows
{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}

Other stuff:
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 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...

Here is the most updated version of that.

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

[Kaleo42]

It seems we're mostly on the same page for the gods but as for actual cards we have 5 confirmed and one unconfirmed right?

{W}{U}, {G}{B}, {R}{B}, {U}{R}, and {G}{W} scry lands.

Possible {springleaf drum}

[Kagain123]

Why is the drum worth so much?

I believe modern Affinity decks are part of the reason. I can't wait to use with  {Nightveil Specter} personally

[Wackaman9001]

Why is the drum worth so much?

You can tap it to turn any guy in to {birds of paradise}, its resilient to boardwipes, and doesn't care about summoning sickness.it kinda kicks ass

[Kaleo42]

And is kind good for affinity/ metalcraft in modern.
