Born of the Gods (Baseless Speculation and Spoilers)

[Birdbrain]

I was hoping he wouldn't succeed, but oh well. It's good storytelling if he does. Also, the higher up he is, the more spectacular his fall if he has one

Who?

{xenagos, the reveler} became a god

[Kaleo42]

Who?

{xenagos, the reveler} became a god

Notice how only planeswalkers can kill gods?

is that a hint towards {Elspeth, suns champion}?

What about the minor gods? Here is a chart we can fill in as we find it out:

{W}{U} Ephara ({Ephara's Warden}, through process of elimination, kind of has to be)
{W}{B} Athreos (a guess based on {Scholar of Athreos})
{W}{R} Iroas (a guess based on {Priest of Iroas})
{W}{G} Karametra ({Karametra's Acolyte}, through process of elimination, it kind of has to be)
{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} Xenagos (source: http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/ur/281)\

Thought I'd repost this...

Here is the most updated version of that.

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

Well, I think we can be about 99.99% sure that this chart is right...

[xStrayKnightx]

Yeah, I'd say so. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the Lesser Gods are capable of. C'mon, Dega colours, give me decent Gods!

[Birdbrain]

My {U}{R} skies deck is now leaning heavily towards scry, and I hope Keranos helps it out in leaps and bounds

[Spikepit]

I'm hoping Aethros has a bit of a celebration of life and death feel! Like pump the living +*/+* style for all your dead. Or a devotion for creatures in graveyard, haha!

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

I just want more enchantments for an EDH deck I want to build. Also, we will now have 20 gods in all of magic. Am I the only one thinking of 5 color God Control EDH?

[Birdbrain]

MaRo said there will be a new enchantment creature mechanic

[rarehuntertay]

also, according to the wikia, gods are possibly able to move about to different planes... maybe we'll see more gods in the future?

[Melek the fire]

Yeah seems they are strongly hinting the gods were once just planeswalkers that found a way to nyx. Which is why xen ascending is such a problem, shows the mortals there not true gods.

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

IDK.....planeswalkers are supposed to be super rare (hence the new Mythic rarity made for them) and having at least 19 (14 gods, Elspeth, Zenagos, Ashiok, Kiora, and Unnamed JOU) on one plane would really break the whole system and lore. The planeswalker's guide said that Zenagos only ascended because of some ritual so I can the gods being extremely powerful wizards that work together to dominate the mortals, but all of them being planeswalkers can't be true.

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

Says previewing soon so it's probably new.

If I'm not mistaken, Monday is the official start of spoiler season.
