As far as art goes, I'm a big fan of these so far. I'm not sure how I'll feel about the mechanical aspects of them, I'm just really hoping they aren't super gimmicky.
Some kind of creature offering or simple relevant godlike casting requirement would probably work well.
Maro has said that the enchantments will play into the gods somehow. Honestly, it'd be impossible to represent all of a god's various powers on a single card, so they're probably going to use enchantments to spread out the powers.
This could mean several things; The gods will be easier to cast if you have their enchantments in play; the enchantments representing the god's gifts/curse will have some subtype or identifier (card name probably).
Or maybe the other way around, the gods are easy to cast, but do nothing themselves, but fetch you their enchantments for free over turns. In which case, since they hate shuffling, it'd be like the wishes.

Or the enchantments are "blessings" from the gods.

Everyone knows that good luck and good game are such insincere terms that any man who does not connect his right hook with the offender's jaw on the very utterance of such a phrase is no man I would consider as such.
All of the Gods shown (4/5) have weapons.
I wonder if we'll see equipments for these?
It could be pretty cool, especially if they did more when equipped to the right God.

Maybe show and tell will get the axe in legacy. Wouldn't be remotely surprised depending on what these god cards can do. Either way, I love the frame for these god cards and wonder what they'll do. I assume they'll be mythics though. New rarity just for these cards is highly unlikely. Either way, theros looks like a hell of a set so far and I'm pumped. Sadly its two months and 2 weeks away or so...

"Yawgmoth," Freyalise whispered as she set the bomb, "now you will pay for your treachery."
That's a really really big jump of an assumption based on the absolute nothing we know on these cards. Sounds like you're just hoping for a reason to see it go away?
That, and you know what they say. If Wizards started shipping $100 bills in boosters tomorrow, people would scream and cry and whine that they were folded the wrong way.
If these "god" cards will turn out to work similarly to World of Warcraft TCG-s Master Hero Cards (they replace your current hero, replace your health total, gice you an ability and cost a lot of mana with a way to decrease the cost), then I am quite sure that WotC and Cryptozoic are working together on both games...
I've been tinfoil hatting that one for a while, due to the similarities of how cryptozoic and wotc run things as well as shared artist after the new generation of the WoW cards came out. Though i highly doubt we will see the gods work this way
I'd make you notice that in none of the art the gods look like actual "creatures", but more like "apparitions", so maybe they are Enchantment Creatures?
Yes, just what I was thinking. What are the chances of these things being Legendary Enchantment Creatures?

Love the art on the black and blue ones as well, really do hope they end up something I'd want in Lazav. That merfolk god is sexy.

Thanks for spiderboy4 of High~Light_Studios for the kick ass avatar.
Thanks for DarkNightCavalier of HotPS for the exceptional signature.
Definitely love the new frame and I'm excited to see how they'll play.
And I'm ABSOLUTELY STOKED at the new ideas and themes in this set. Enchantment Matters after all! It's been a long, long time coming.
I might even splurge on a SECOND box of this set, depending on how much value is in it. Fingers crossed.

I've sworn it off. Non-rotating formats are where it's at.
I doubt it since they printed Planar Cleansing in M14... such a missed opportunity
I made some mock-ups of what the other gods might might look like here. That is, if all the gods use the same new card border.

Nice work. Im betting that the "starry" upper part will get a background that's assorted to the bottom half (deity color) though.
Otherwise, it's just visually over-contrasting IMO. I guess we'll see...

Planar Cleansing can exist in the same format as a *** spell. We literally just had Terminus and Supreme Verdict in Standard.
But *** likely won't be reprinted, due to them wanting regeneration to remain 'relevant'.
