The reason I asked is because I wanted to see the precise wording. He could have said any number of things that might be misinterpretted/misremembered as an absolute statement about Journey gods but wasn't, do you have anything more concrete than "Oh yeah, it's somewhere in those 1913 pages I swear"?
I don't have to prove you that i saw that (wich by the way i'm not the only one as you can see on the coments, maybe it was a case of colletive illusion?) and you don't have to belive if you don't want.
But you will sure not find it if your "as far" is 7 january, when it was said before the pre-release. But whatever. If you want to speculate about something that will not happen, be my guest.
Kruphix
Indestructible
Kruphix isn't a creature unless your devotion to blue and green is seven.
Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control it gains Hexproof and Unblockable until the
end of your next turn.
4/6
Green/Blue has no haste, giving that creature unblockable does not help at all, and hexproof is only slightly useful at best in this situation (as its not in response.

Ok, so you meant Theros rather than Born of the Gods? Same question, same answer. I've gone back further and found nothing. I'm quite convinced that whatever it is that you saw is very different from what you remember. There is no evidence that the Journey gods will not have activated abilities.
How about a "Whenever you play a creature spell, Draw a card" ( maybe too familiar with Ephara):/
or "Whenever you play a card or draw a card, gain 1 life"
or "whenever you a creature you control attacks, reveal the top card of your library, if its a land card put it in play/ or draw"
But how wizards some times think that GU is about +1/+1 counters i think a " At the begguining of you upupkeep, you may put 3 +1/+1 counters on up to one creature you control"

Belive in what you want, just remember this thread and "the guy who imagined gods wouldn't have activated abilities" when the new gods are released ;D

It applies until the end of your next turn, so the creature will be able to attack with unblockable once and be protected with Hexproof before that.

If they don't it won't prove that you actually read that in a blog post.
I'm pretty convinced Kruphix will give flash. But then again, what is Kruphix known for? Mysteries? I assumed Kruphix is female too?
Kruphix, God of Mystery?
Courser of Kruphix and Horizon Chimera give life. There's the possibility she may have something to do with lifegain. But flash is still the most likely outcome.
I suspect it will involve creatures and evasion or some creature protection effect,
something like "When a creature ETB under your control, it gains Hexproof until the end of your next turn,"
"Creature spells you control cannot be countered," or maybe
"Nonland cards you own have Flash" (overlaps with Prophet, but still useful and flavorful).
I think uncounterable creature spells is possible, but its not very good unless they cost her very low.
"Other creatures you control have hexproof" could fit the color pie perfectly. Strong but not overpowered.
What about a Cream of the Crop like ability? Maybe to be more blue you put the card in your hand.
I could also see it triggering on combat damage (look at the number of cards equal to the damage dealt by your creature).
So Kruphix apparently laid down 'the Silence' and made all the Gods retreat to nix according to Uncharted Realms on the mothership, and the Tritons kinda hinted that Kruphix is an Elder God...I find this at least a little interesting with regards to what we know about Kruphix and such. Still WAY too little knowledge to guess at card abilities, but being able to define what the other Gods are capable of is certainly a big deal if you ask me.
EDIT:
"When Kruphix spoke, and the gods retreated into Nyx," he said, "we called their absence—your absence—the Silence. Our prayers go unanswered. The night sky is filled with darkness and unmoving stars. We are frightened."
The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.
I invision a future where one is not mighty when he can silence a crowd with brutality,
but when he leaves them speechless with wisdom.
I'm thinking it'll be Courser of Kruphix + Garruk's Horde. Supposedly, he/she is the god of Horizons. What, in Magic, is more like looking out toward a horizon than playing off the top of your deck? Of course it won't be straight Future Sight, as that's more monoblue, so just creatures and lands fits GU better.
Another possibility is a Coiling Oracle effect on your upkeep. G and U are the biggest unconditional card-draw colors and they both seem to care about lands the most. That last part is evident in Courser of Kruphix, Kiora, the Crashing Wave, and Prophet of Kruphix, as they all deal with lands in some way or another.

mmmmmmmm card draw is definitely big in green and blue but I dont think land matters is in blues slice o da pie.
all the colors get it to some extent, obviously, but I think green and black would be the two that care the most. B likes lots of swamps, G supports lands in general, GB cares more about land than UG. Not true in all cases, orbviously, but I definitely would call lands matter a blue thing...

and good call about it calling Kruphix the oldest, I missed that.
"I do not think Thassa would so brazenly defy the eldest of the gods."
good catch. I thought this just implied a hierarchy within the pantheon, but it definitely sounds like Kruphix is indeed the eldest

I have this feeling Kruphix will either have something related to creatures as her ability (not card draw cause they won't give us an indestructible version of bident of thassa) or she'll simply be a 4/6 or something with flash for 1GU or 2GU.
I don't think it will have something that overlaps with the other cards, I think He/She will probably have something that sinergises with them. For example, both Ephara and her Enlightment care about creatures. I think it might be:
Kruphix, God of Mystery 3GU or 4GU
Indestructible
Devotion 7 to GU
Creatures you control have:"T: Exile this creature and return it to the battlefield under you control with a +1/+1 counter."
5/7
I think it fits, because its sort of Hexproof, and creatures vanishing and returning seems like something mysterious.
Edit: Just realizes that with haste goes almost infinite...

I think thats kinda... broken. Maybe if it had some kind of mana cost I can agree but just tapping for a blink effect is huge.
For some reason I have no doubt it will have some kind of +1/+1 counter effect.
