and I expect Athreos (or maybe Phenax?) will take The Returned look to its apex.
To be fair, I did favor Athreos, but I knew Phenax was also a possibility
(Mostly because of that whole "Ashiok made a necropolis for him" thing,
which I *sincerely* hope is what's in the foreground of Phenax' art).

Holy Mother of Sables, I never even noticed that behemoth of a furry woodland creature at Karametra's feet. Perhaps it's a giant sable? 'Sable' was just made a creature type with Bronze Sable, GW is the color combo of token swarms, maybe she's got a triggered ability that makes Sable tokens? Or maybe it's just a giant pet raccoon and I'm just reading too much into this.
I am a tad disappointed in Ephara, but I find it curious that she's made of marble. I guess if she's the god of the polis, marble makes sense with all of the marble buildings.
Those red stars in Phenax's starfield keep throwing me off. Interestingly, if you imagine his head without the Returned mask, it just looks like a big blob.
He's a god of deceit, and he has some secret agenda concerning Theros (though it seems that he is just bored and seeking to entertain himself with it). There was an Uncharted Realms article where he met Ashiok.
People were speculating that some black-aligned god will have the Returned look - either him of Athreos, who is the guardian of the underworld/mortal world borders (they were the only choices, because we had visual hints of Pharika and Mogis). I would expect Athreos, but I can live with Phenax - after all, there were UB-related returned cards.
I see, thanks a lot
Now I wonder what Athreos will look like if there now is a chance he wont sport the golden mask
Do the actual playmats have those ugly red borders? I love the art but those borders really kill my desire to get any of these playmats when they cover up so much of the art
Im guessing (and hoping) its a massive monstrous sable thing based on its mild resemblance to bronze sable at its flavor text.
I'm pretty sure that's the head and shoulders of an Elemental. It looks like his arms are reaching out as well and Kara is resting in the hollowed face/branches.
"If fetch lands are reprinted I really believe they will be in allied colors (aka Onslaught fetches). If the fetch lands are reprinted you better believe that we'll all be fetching up basics. This would lead me to believe that the set after THS may have a reprint as the temples can't be fetched but it's pure speculation." - posted 03/22/2014 proved correct during Khans spoiler season.
"The set releases for fall 2015 (Blood, Sweat and Tears) and fall 2016 (Lock, Stock and Barrel). One or both of those 2 blocks (I'm betting) are going to contain either Fetch reprints or (more likely) Filter reprints. Filter lands still need a reprint. They are getting pretty high up there and it's been longer than ZEN so it makes a little more sense that Filter lands would see print earlier that fetches." - posted 03/22/2014 proved incorrect about filters coming earlier than fetches, still pending on filters in Origins block.
i was not expecting Phenax to look like that. Maybe if he was Grixis colors since he does have quite a bit of red in his art. Was expecting more blue/black colors than that red subset. Aside from that the other gods look.. gorgeous. Ephara in... foil? My body is not ready.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
To the people that say that a card needs to be a higher rarity because of Limited... I hate you guys so much. I present to you with this.
These are all amazing, my favorites are Phenax and Xenagos. Would totally buy them if they didn't have that hideous Magic swirl and were just full-art.
I'm pretty sure that's the head and shoulders of an Elemental. It looks like his arms are reaching out as well and Kara is resting in the hollowed face/branches.
If those are arms, how do you explain the GIANT FACE in the bottom right corner?
that's not what happened at all. kamahl stabbed phage, akroma, and some old lady and they became korona. then korona got stabbed by her "prophets" and kamahl got drunk with a mutant centaur

All those arts are really sweet. Im really excited to see how Phenax and Mogis turn out. Phenax probably goes in more controlling decks but Mogis could be either aggro-orientated or more midrange/controlling
Im sorry but i cant see it. Theres a lot of hair but no eyes, mouth, nose etc. etc
The large, bright green star in the hollow of the ear is about where the eye would be if it weren't in shadow. The rest of the face is below the horizon.
You can see the same creature (which the Bronze Sable is modeled after) wrapped around the shrines to Karametra in the artwork of Commune with the Gods and Annul.

Only Mogis have the visible weapon on the art though
No the minor gods wont have weapons.
I see, thanks a lot
Now I wonder what Athreos will look like if there now is a chance he wont sport the golden mask
Now that you said it, it looks right
I'm pretty sure that's the head and shoulders of an Elemental. It looks like his arms are reaching out as well and Kara is resting in the hollowed face/branches.

Hell do I love Phenax and Mogis(though we already had his art). Kind of want to play Grixis just cause they both look boss.

What face? It all looks like a big furry thing
Ephara does something with artifacts, I presume, given her marble/stone look.
Edit: And I guess we know who Vulpine Goliath belongs to now...xD Though the one at her feet does look like a giant sable (love his star-eye...)
It's obvious there is a giant furry creature wrapped around her. Quit yer trollin.
Feel free to tell me yours!
I didn't see it at first, either.
Now I can't unsee it.

If the Theros Minotaurs are any indication, Mogis is aggro aggro aggro.
The ears are what stand out the most by far.
It looks like part of it is sunken into the ground or something,
obscuring part of its face.

It's the angle, I believe his head is tilted downward
