Mind wrack liege

Can I use the {mind wrack liege} ability to put say { iroas, god of victory } on the field even if I don't have devotion to make him a creature?

Yes, you can use {Mindwrack Liege}'s ability to put {Iroas, God of Victory} onto the battlefield because Iroas is a creature in your hand.

note: its a creature CARD in your hand, not a creature in your hand. devotion for gods only matters on the field, in all other zones gods will always be legendary enchantment creature cards.

I thought so but had a buddy who argued differently thanks guys

Speaking of gods. Can I use {Duress} and remove a god out if your hand?

no, because as stated above, anywhere but the battlefield (like your hand) gods are legendary enchantment creature cards and thus fail the non-creature aspect of the choice.

Here is a way to think of it: if you had {Platinum Angel} in your hand, would the ability work? No, it has to be on the battlefield. It works the same way with God's 'only a creature if devotion is high enough' clause.
