I'm trying to imagine how the gods actually play out. I think the White and Black (2WW for a 2/1 token and 1B 2 life for a card) ones are going to the best, if the god enchantments are good. They're too big of a deal for me to think that there's not something there. I just can't figure out if Devotion is going to be the key, or the extra abilities, obviously you can say "when you get both, that's when they're good". 4 other mana symbols....means 2 permanents pretty much, a creature and their respective weapon?

For what it's worth, the opposite of evergreen is "deciduous" so I suggest we start using that from now on to refer to shroud, banding, islandhome, etc.

In the same way you can tell someone is from the XVIII century because he is arroused by ankles, you can tell someone is from USA because he feels nipples disturbing.
Still, I think she could be deceptively powerful, even if just as a sideboard card.
I see he/r as a card that is going to be pretty poor for the first 2 or so weeks of Standard, and then as the format starts to get get figured out and control decks find their proper deck lists, s/he is going to be a powerhouse.
Loving the cycle of hate cards (now that Green fight one makes sense).
Ashiok is AWESOME! You people bashing her are out of your minds, she's exactly what Dimir needed. Duskmantle Guildmage anyone? Sucks Jace's Phantasm is rotating out but even still, this is pretty nuts. And don't forget the new Bestow Horror...
There's plenty of mill, though of course Ashiok exiles instead and therefore doesn't exactly have synergy with cards like Jace's Phantasm.
I know it's been said, but... what the heck IS Ashiok?
So then... is no one going to talk about the murder king? cause that's my favorite card in the set so far... gonna be a limited house and an extremely fun edh general.
I don't really like him as a general, personally; he can save himself, yes, but the sac-pinging isn't going to do much in a 4 player game.

The wedding is over. Now it's time for the honeymoon.
I think I figured out what really bothers me about Erebos. It's the only one of the cycle that you can't build around. The static effect the others have affect either your board or your deck, whereas hers affects your opponent, which may or may not have a single card that can gain life in it. Conversely if you want an inexpensive draw mechanic Underworld Connections is vastly better as it comes down a turn sooner, costs less "mana" to activate and you lose less life from it. The only benefit is being a 5/7 which is nice but still a bit disappointing given how weak the first effect is and how infrequently you can use the activated ability.
These self-hate spells are lovely; I especially like that they all do the color-specific action to the target (blue co0unters, white exiles etc...). 3 mana land destruction with added damage on top is bound to get some haters happy
The Planeswalker isn't too impressive but pretty cool
Erebos is very, very cool
Tymaret is a zombie and therefore sucks (sorry MaRo!)
notice how the first 3 mana LD we've seen in ages zeros right in on chained to the rocks? I find that hilarious.
Also Erebos is sweeet, but he's a little late to the lifegain party though, Since Thragtusk and Resto Angel are about to pass out on the couch. I will happily pay life for cards though.
Ashiok being UB means GW, RW, or WU lost their mythic. Ughhhhh.
What? Each colour gets two mythics, and each allied-coloured pairs get one. We have 12 of the 15 mythics. Medomai is most likely the WU one, so we're just missing a black mythic and a GW mythic.
I don't understand the Ashiok bashing. Yeah he's a little durdly, but for 3 mana, seems like he could be fairly strong as long as the opponent is playing creatures.
It probably still is.

Curious what you think of Ashiok.
I like him, but I have a soft spot for theft strategies.
Hopefully he'll be pretty cheap after a week or two.

Either way, I'm digging the same-color hate cards.

I doubt it. He doesn't have the lifelink that griselbrand had, and you have to pay mana.
There's plenty of mill, though of course Ashiok exiles instead and therefore doesn't exactly have synergy with cards like Jace's Phantasm.

My 'condition' is a trial. The weak are consumed by it. The strong transcend it.

But hey, better than Tibalt.
Yeah, it was spoiled earlier. Target green creature gets +2/+2 until EoT and fights another target green creature.

Nothing wrong with that. Pure Johnny love!
