I wish my 4/4s with haste and first strike that acted as Goblin Warchiefs were better and didn't die to instants and overshadowed all other 4 drops in the format. And that they had evasion too, and some way to dodge wrath effects.
Love all the art - though of all the Gods I'm partial to Pharika. I'm also really hoping that Elspeth's weapon is an equipment. I'm also really hoping that the art with Ajani and Elspeth isn't something lame like a Heroes' Reunion reprint.
I'm betting that Elspeth/Ajani art is Heroes' Reunion. Because why would they waste good art on a playable card? And I definitely want an Athreos playmat.
Good God I love that Atheros art. Fingers crossed that he can find a place in my Teysa deck.
On the other hand, I'm a bit confused about Keranos. If you had shown me that art without telling me who he was, I would not have guessed his color alignment to be u/r. That's not to say that the art is bad, it just wasn't what I was expecting.
I really love that art piece done by Terese Nielsen. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be another Plea to Guidance (aka filler card). Her art is just too beautiful to be wasted like that.
I feel like with the flavor that Atheros has, especially with his staff, you get something based off death triggers.
I would like for it to be like Xathrid Necromancer. If not 2/2 zombies, then 1/1 flying spirits.

Based on the description of Pharika, I am betting that her ability is something like "target creature gets +X/+X and target creature gets -X/-X" and it's not like we have seen this on Green/Black cards before.

Also love Terese Nielsen's Heliod.
And the rest too.
Kruphix is pretty cool too.
Though, I don't actually think this will be case, as there shouldn't be any GW cards in JOU.
Unless Ajani really is GW....
There's no way something like the Godsend would be a non-legendary. It just wouldn't make sense.
