Wow, the Scorpion God is the kind of new EDH general I've been looking for! But...that name's a little generic isn't it? Sounds like what people would call the card when they can't remember it's official name.

So the name is perfect cause everyone on Amonkhet was forced to forget it ever existed.

I think what someone said about it earlier in the thread is accurate. Bolas stripped the the insectoid gods of their identities, leaving them a hollow vessel for his will. Including their names, which is important in many cultures.

I believe the reasoning behind the name is that Bolas took everything away from them, including their names. I expect to see The Scarab God and The Locust God soon.

He doesn't need a name. He's just Bolas' slave now. Also, probably no one even know the three gods' name now. Bolas didn't ask and he mindwiped/killed everyone else who knew.

Do we know what the other two Gods might be as far as their animal? We have the Scorpion God... a... Hippo God? Camel God? Haha
Also pretty excited about the common cycling lands. Just what I needed to give my Archfiend of Ifnir deck that extra gas.

I'm guessing the other two gods are gonna be UB and UR.
how many bi-colour gods are we expecting? 5 or the full 10?

Huey, Dewey and Louie are always dressed in RUG. it is CLEARLY going to be the wedges block Pioneer: WURFaerie fires BRGDragons ModernBGElves WRBurn UR Fires Turns URGift Storm UG Twiddle Storm
I just looked.. apparently it hasn't been posted on this site. It's called open fire and is 2R to bolt.
EDIT: Card in question uploaded. Mods may fix if it was done so improperly.
EDIT 2: mythicspoiler seems to have everything that was revealed during the "treat" (as LSV so aply referred to it)
i see that's pretty cool (i haven't been keeping up with the story).
if that's the case UR and UB are probably the most likely colours

As a Commander player, I feel the The Scorpion God seem pretty weak.
For 3BR, no enter the battlefield ability, no haste and an underwhelming activated ability that cost 1BR to activate. While drawing a card whenever a creature with a -1/-1 counter dies seems like a strong ability, there are only a handful of good cards that have a reasonable converted mana cost that actually put -1/-1 counters on creatures. Black Sun's Zenith and Contagion Engine come to mind as examples, but cards like Splendid Agony, Skinrender and even Soul Snuffers seem too underwhelming/gimmicky.
Are there any good card synergies with the The Scorpion God for commander that seem worth mentioning?

Everlasting Torment and Soul-Scar Mage should unquestionably be in a Scorpo God deck. Kulrath Knight is also pretty good. I do think there are enough cards to make a good shell out of it. It's unfortunate that the card draw effect isn't optional.

It's more fallout from making answers too weak vs threats. If anything this is the absolute extreme we will see and they will be shifting back in the next couple of sets, but until Ixalan comes out standard players are trapped using weaker removal / burn cards.

Why would you not want to draw the card?
Everlasting Torment and Soul-Scar Mage seem good. Kulrath Knight doesn't seem good enough to run. There might be a handful of other cards, but I feel like it really wouldn't be a very optimized EDH deck.

Liliana's Influence is pretty effective, and Midnight Banshee can be pretty brutal provided your own deck leans more heavily on black than red creatures.
