Hello again, checking in after a while where I have been busy with lots of things. Regarding the new set I really like the devotion mechanic and I hope they will try to push it, since it might need some help arriving right after a multicolour set.

Devotion is a cool mechanic. Conveniently for us, significant 'devotion to black' is a natural hazard of the color. I'm optimistic about its effect in cube around such as Necropotence, Geralf's Messenger, Bloodghast, and Nether Traitor.
@therestless, does your cube include phyrexian obliterators? Because that is a card I am thinking of working with in a Modern devotion deck if the mechanic seems strong enough.

I like the card, but can't justify quad B the way it's currently setup.
I'm glad I did wait on buying my thoughseizes. I had a soft deal with a guy that I'd buy his assuming they weren't in theros. Saw him today and he just laughed a little :-p he's a good guy. I owe him a drink

Erebos was finally spoiled. I like him, he hoses any life-gain builds, while at the same time being a 5/7 indestructible for mono-black. Also the draw effect is nice.
I rather wish his activation was actually the same cost as Greed, but I do like him.
Second. I like him the best given that he could slide into an MBC deck as the solo finisher. Just have a bunch of black non-creature enchantments sitting next to him and we should be good to go. I want a play set now...
The black god seems rather nice, he might have a place in a black aggro/midrange deck in modern. Since devotion has a nice synergy with some pretty aggressive black cards like Black Knight,Bloodghast,Geralf's Messenger,Gatekeeper of Malakir, Nantuko Shade and the infamous Phyrexian Obliterator. The ability to halt life regen as well as providing some extra gas goes well with aggro and midrange strategies.

Must have missed it when I saw the Gorgon, but I really like Murder 2.0 even though it is rare. I will probably include it in quite a bit of my sideboards, since black traditionally have had few ways to kill planeswalkers besides throwing undead dudes at their faces like some sort of savage..
I xcan see the new murder being mainboardable, the the coolest card revealed from last night spoilers, was the whip it looks like it's going to be so sweet in any mono-black builds.

For T2 purposes, it's of note that Obzedat's exile trigger trumps the Whip's exile clause.
Hey guys. I've been on a sort of vacation for the past week. Went camping with some of my old college friends. Fire + beer + fishing with the friends = good times, even though I hate fishing. But as I see, I haven't missed much around here.
But I did miss the entirety of Theros being spoiled. I'll have to sit down and give it a good look through.
But now that Theros is 100% spoiled, I think its time we start discussing the art and title of our yearly new thread! I did have a preliminary idea of [CMB] Escapes from the Underworld or The Underworld Escapes from [CMB] for a more power hungry sound.
We also need to discuss art. Erebos is a basic go to, but I am not entirely fond of his art...
So last Friday went to an fnm for the first time in forever with mono-black control post-rotation friendly. It was 3 rounds and I won two, so mono-black taking people by surprise.
On the art issue, I am quite fond of Pharika's Cure, it is quite beautiful, yet dark and mysterious. For the name I am liking the first idea more as well, but I will try to see if I can conjure something better.

I'm really excited for Thoughtseize.
Acutally, I am just really excited for Theros in general. They are just spoon feeding me flavor and I am eating it up!
From a design perspective, a lot of the cards we've seen are not 'safe' and I'm curious what other solutions we'll be getting to keep them fair.
Oh, and when people mention black god, this is always what comes to mind

Yeah the flavor is there and I really like the set so far because it seems to really support mono-colored decks which I love

On the thread idea I like the first name more.
