Yeah. Feels very much like an EDH card that you would try to abuse with indestructible effects and other ways to get around the destruction (Jhoira/suspend, blink, O.Ring your own stuff, etc...).
Yeah, this will have two main uses in EDH: 1. blowing everything up while leaving yourself with a viable board position, or 2. nuclear deterrent against board wipes. I think the second of these is actually more interesting as it forces plays and politics in the red player's favor.
I feel like this card is hilarious and someone is going to end up frowning at this.

Started playing since Invasion, stopped at Scourge. Returned briefly during BoK's introduction of ninjas. Finally back into magic during Shadowmoor/Eventide.
Currently Running Bant Control and a homebrew Blightning Echoes for Type 2.
He's a giant cyclops holding up the heavens. How on Earth is he going to get the momentum going to trample anything?
Also, I find it interesting that even if he drops the Heavens, the Gods survive.
Lol
First. It's a giant. You can't Eye Gouge it. Don't call it a cyclops haha
Second, if it's holding the heavens, how can it even have momentum as you suggest? Shouldn't it be a 0/10 instead? Or if you argue that's the strength needed to hold the heavens, it cannot possibly attack? Slippery slope my friend... No matter, still flavor fail.
I still think (as many have) it should have trample.
Odd that he’s not legendary… Loving the wordplay in the flavour text, too!
I would punch every single WotC employee in the throat if this was legendary. I really don't want people casting this in EDH, much less making this their general.
I feel like this could see play in a Keranos EDH deck. Keranos is indestructible, so he'll be able to stick around after this guy's ability resolves. I don't feel like any of the other red gods are as good a combo either.
Bearer of the Heavens 7R
Creature - Giant
When Bearer of the Heavens dies, destroy all permanents at the beginning of the next end step.
Unsure how to feel about this.
