Doesn't sound all that serious in the least. Here's hoping it's the conclusion to the Un trilogy. (Altho I would like the 3rd Un set to actually have UN in the name.)
I'm surprised Gorgon's Head didn't either cost 1 to Equip, or give Lifelink as well (since gorgon blood can be poison or antidote) or give +1/+1 as well.
I'm surprised they didn't just reprint Gorgon Flail. While the severed head is awesome, a creature wielding said head seems off flavorwise. "Who needs a sword or an axe? I've got this head right here."
In the current standard there simply aren't many maindeckable high-impact spells that you would want to play without Oracle on the board, which is important to consider. Cruel Ultimatum style cards not being in standard *really* harm this creature's playability IN STANDARD.
Agent of Fates was also quickly out of stock when it was first previewed at $1, and again at $1.50, and again at $2. It peaked, if I recall, at around $4. And see where that went. I'll save you time, that's nowhere.
At $1 pre-order, it's about as safe as you can get for this type of card. If you order a playset and it does nothing, and is terrible, you lost very little. If it somehow takes off, you made bucko bucks.
That said, the Fated cycle is at $1 right now... so I may just have a little spree with a few of them. The blue, red, and green ones are probably the one I want to get.
That's not what I meant at all. All I meant was it is funny to see people bashing it, but secretly buying it just in case it's better than they thought, so they can make a quick buck and change their stance later (if it performs well) and say they knew it was gonna be a good card and that's why they got their cheap copies early on. People really do think it could possibly be good, otherwise they wouldn't be preordering it. If someone is so sure this card has no potential at all, why waste $4 on a playset? Because they know there is a chance it will be good, even if not til Journey or after Rav rotates.
This is true. It would specifically state "creatures able to block" if that was the intent. It clearly was not. Just tap an opponent's creature, and then an open swing with Tromokratis.
Seeing as reckoner counts for 3 red or 3 white in devotion terms it stands to reason Reckoner would count as 6 for the RW god.
EDIT: I also think these should be 1-3 mana gods, seeing as they are "lesser" gods then it wouldn't make sense for them to have higher casting costs.
I highly doubt Reckoner counts for six. That would be stupid broken. Seeing as the Reckoner's CMC is 3, it stands to reason that that would be how much he would contribute to the overall R/W devotion requirement of seven for the R/W god.
Couldn't this work as a token deck? Take a general that includes blue; Black, Blue, White --or-- Black, Blue, Green and stack you deck with non-creature spells that produce creature tokens and go to town stacking your deck with back-up instants and sorceries and such.
Maybe B,U,R so you can duplicate those instants and sorceries.
Fixed.
Well, that makes Deveri happy.

This idea is awesome. I suggest Oona, Queen of the Fae as the general.
EDIT - Oops, I thought she costed less.
*sniff sniff* Does anybody else smell troll?
What about a game that ends in a tie due to an infinite loop? What about two-headed giant? I think you should re-evaluate your statement.
