Interesting artifact, nice ability. This cycle will have some strong effects on the game. While not exactly Legacy or maybe Modern playible, it'll find certainly a home in Standard, Casual, and EDH.
EDIT: Nevermind. I have no idea what I was thinking.
Deathtouch doesn't always have to be capitalized, methinks. See Master of Cruelties.
EDIT:Gawd dangit, I can't read things. Ignore this post of mine.

2. Why does this one use the art for Ephixis in the Planeswalker's guide, but the Bident of Thassa uses different art than the one for Dekella in the same guide?

Did you visit the bident thread... at all? The bident is a promo art. The reason they do not have their proper names is because wotc are all liars, and every one better than you.

Like Bident of thassa . Ephixis is better described as Bow of Nylea.

...that was unnecessarily derogatory. Fair enough. I think I like the promo bident more. It looks like a monument rather than equipment.
The comparisons people are drawing between this and Jitte are insultingly laughable. I'm sorry but outside of this having multiple abilities it is nowhere near the power level of Jitte.
That... is a lot of modes. On a repeated ability. I think I'll want several just for the sheer utility. Card also looks very pretty. Green artifacts look funny.
Edit: deathtouch on attack only seems very awkward. You want to attack with high-powered creatures, but that negates the usefulness of deathtouch. Works well with first strikers, but green doesn't have many of those. Probably best to combo it with other colors to get first strike, or develop some cool synergy with utility creatures that can now attack because they have deathtouch.
It's possible that there will be some Lure/Provoke type effects in the set that makes the deathtouch on attack ability better.
so basically it gives all your mana dudes needed for devotion to green to make teh god active deathtouch so they can attack and run themselves into bigger dudes?
Wow, is it really this easy to sell people on fakes? If so, I gotta get back into 'shopping. I mean, back in my day, something this blatant would have been called out immediately.

You have no idea how much I want that card to make a (good) deck.
I tried it recently with Snapcaster Mage, Deathrite Shaman, Scavenging Ooze, Elixir of Immortality,
Unburial Rites and some huge threats.
It did okay, but was really too slow to work well.
Maybe next year?

1. Why didn't they call it Ephixis?
2. Why does this one use the art for Ephixis in the Planeswalker's guide, but the Bident of Thassa uses different art than the one for Dekella in the same guide?
Choose one of these judge of creation:
Make Strionic Resonator shine!
You can not grasp the true form of Ashiok's attack!
once and done...only removal you'll need for these god weapons.

Edit: Drat.
Like Bident of thassa . Ephixis is better described as Bow of Nylea.
the Bidet we have is a promo...
In my opinion that already makes this the better card.

Gold Rule of Mtg: W gets the better cards...
Both of the Bident's abilities are more powerful, especially since they synergize.
