Theros (Baseless Speculation and Spoilers)

Table flip usually cannot be Countered

Great anti Spagetti lord move

[Rasser]

I don't know if this was mentioned but aura swap could be useful

{Arcanum Wings}

Or enchantments that you can tap

{Second Wind}

I'm just going to leave this here at the mention of "table flip:"

After some thinking here are some thoughts I have had on speculation. The new clone rule discourages cheap unflavorable kills on legendaries and emcourages using each printing of a planeswalker to it's fullest.

On the planeswalkers this allows the same walkers to be printed and revamped at both higher and low CMC reguardless of what else sees a lot of play. No more {jace beleren} legend blading {jace, the mind sculpter} situations. Meaning new Elspeth could very well be a 3cmc just as much as a 6cmc. New garruk is a good example of this new playability dispite smaller garruks seeing lots of play.

As for legends and specifically gods...think eldrazi. It takes a lot of investement to make an eldrazi happen and once you get their 4cmc {clone} should not be an end all to all your hard work. With this concept in mind I am anticipating the gods being a similar or even greater workload to play with a high rate of return in their sheer power now that cloning is not the ultimate FU.

A lot of work... You mean like  {Lotus Petal},  {Ancient Tomb},  {Show and Tell} ---> {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} ----> win?

There's no reason I shouldn't be able to pay cmc 4 or cmc 2 even to remove this, if I happen to have that playable in my hand. Decks don't run clones main board generally and considering how non-interactive some cards are, not being able to legend them out makes them even more broken. I've said time and again: cards as powerful as  {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} should never be printed.

I agree 100%. What's the point of even playing the game when a card like that hits the field? At that moment, it's no longer fun. And then I flip the table.

Unless your next turn you cast  {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker}, use his -2 and take control of  {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn}

@ evacide: WELL YES!! But Black first, over all I like rot & decay.

@ rarehuntertay: YES!!! NICOOOOOOOLLLLL!!!

I dont think we can expect them to have 10+ stats. I personally would love them to function as creatures but have echantment like qualities. {Hellrider} and {Varolz, the Scar-Striped} are good examples of what I am talking about. However in keeping with the lore of olympus style gods, their powers could be both limited and exagerated based upon what shrines (enchantments) are erected in their name.

[LadyGrixis]

I'm hoping they bring out some fabulous Gorgons. I've always wanted to make a Gorgon deck, as well as a Minotaur deck, but there just aren't enough decent cards to play.

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

I know it won't happen but...Zeus, supreme god who uses lightning...{Lightning Helix}...please?

"The gods can take multiple forms and walk among mortals."

I just took that from Thero's storyline
Does that mean that you will be able to transform your Gods ?? I mean, just imagine this:
*Opponent plays a card that destroys all creatures with flying*
*Your god has flying, you pay {1}{B}, transform him into a 2/2 human with Shadow*
*Your God doesn't get destroyed, next turn pay {2}{B}{B} re-transform him to the 9/9 Flying Deadtouch God creature*

Or this:

*You play a card that deals damage to target creature and/or player, equal to twice the number of Minotaurs you control*
*Just before you cast it, pay {1}{R}{R} transform your God to a 3/3 First Strike Minotaur*
*Deal 2 extra damage*
*Next turn pay {2}{R}{R} re-transform him to a 11/7 Flying Haste God creature

Something like that
Each god could have 3 different transformations

[Mlerner12]

Maybe like {Figute of Drstiny}?

[Mizark]

Yeah kinda like that
Except of getting better it would simply give you different options on what you can be
maybe like this
First transformation option: different creature type
Second transformation option: different card type
Third transformation option: different color or become colorless

This could hold relevance, I remember seeing somewhere that the blue god likes to take the form of a merfolk

What about a new morphing version of morphing where it can start face down then become a god but at any time you can flip it back face down and it gains Hexproof since it blends in with the humans
