I wonder if it is the League or game day promo...
i don't think its the pre realise promo...
also why give it a name (Dekella) and don't use it?
EDIT: isn't Theros's pre release 9/27?
if soo then we will get the god's itens for pre release..
Wow, an enchantment that taps...yes, it is an artifact as well, but it is STILL an enchantment...
Well, that's one thing I certainly got wrong. I stated there was no way they would ever do it. Very interesting way of doing things...and this makes me have high hopes for Lucent Liminid.
Did you see the larger shot of the poster? This is extremely zoomed in, causing the blurriness of the card.
Whoops, my bad, didn't see the poster. My mistake.

Though if all the god's weapons follow the same trend, they'll be pretty vulnerable. Let's not forget we have Naturalize, Sundering Growth, AND the new RG version of Naturalize (with a player restricted shock glued to it), Destructive Revelry running around these days.
EDIT: Also, don't know if anyone has pointed it out, but doesn't the card frame look like the god's new one? Or is that just because it's an artifact that I think I'm seeing star like flecks?

God..it...is...LAME. So, WotC, you really did run out of ideas.

Thassa could potentially summon this on the cheap, that would excuse its vulnerability otherwise I can't see this used in standard. Commander probably.
Ok so barring all the speculation of if its real (I'd gander my 99% on it), does it blend?
As said earlier, its coastal piracy with a tap ability. How or if enchantment/artifact/legendary matters is yet to be determined, but I doubt it figures seriously into playability as a tribes would. So lets just evaluate it at face value as a permanent.
Its a coast piracy, a hardly blah card, with an ability that clears a path for your card advantage. It lends itself to fog aggro strategies, or healbots, or vigilance, but it won't be in the same rotation as lingering souls which is the biggest drawback here. Without UW running evasive tokens out the wazoo, will it be a powerhouse? I'd doubt it. And at a high curve, it runs into win-more territory, as this will be near a curve topper on an aggro deck that could utilize it- would a control deck with a finisher really want to run a card best used by tokens? Eh? So it would have prospered more from invisible stalkers, again, rotating. That said, any potent card advantage machine posted at 2UU on an enchantment is something to be very very wary of. I'm going to be conservative and doubt this cards playability. Doubt it in standard, doubt it in modern, won't be a blip anywhere else but limited/block. Who knows though, I've been surprised before
So does this mean tapping enchantments are the re-used FS mechanic?

Hopefully the Blue God get a bonus for having this in play, I was hoping for legendary equipment to equip to my gods but thinking about it now its either too narrow if only the god could use it or bad flavor if non-gods could equip it.
EDIT: Is WotC going to be afraid of Enchantment Lands because of Artifact Lands?
Interestingly there is already an enchantment (aura) with a tap ability. Flowstone Embrace. Am interested to see what other abilities come from enchantments.
What is the point of an enchantment artifact? Just to make it vulnerable to more types of removal? So it can be cast for less? What exactly is an enchantment artifact? I can't think of any analogue in fiction or gaming.

Looks very interesting, I just find it weird that they didn't put the name of the weapon in the title... Why would they go through the trouble of giving it a name if they never use it? Maybe they named them later on after development or something, and couldn't change the card name.
A Legendary Enchantment Artifact makes things look very interesting for Theros, can't wait to get my fat pack of this set.
I keep reading "bidet."

Looks like Theros is to Enchantments what Mirrodin is to Artifacts.
