Erebos, Bleak-Hearted3B Legendary Enchantment Creature - God (MR)
Indestructible
As long as your devotion to black is less than five, Erebos isn't a creature.
Whenever another creature you control dies, you may pay 2 life. If you do, draw a card. 1B, Sacrifice another creature: Target creature gets -2/-1 until end of turn. 5/6
Hmm...I don't know how to feel about this one. I wish he gave a solid- 2/-2 to a creature. -2/-1 feels wrong to me. Paying 2 life for a card when a creature you control dies is good, but the life loss can add of quick and end up putting you in the red zone. I think that it's important to note he can kill other gods though; at the cost of a lot of creatures.
I enjoy this new design, still let's you draw cards and is a type of removal. Absolutely love both arts, really enjoy that the alt art shows his constellation too!
pretty good. not auto-include good, but still deserves a spot in most places that want that effect at least. its like a slightly more expensive grim haruspex or midnight reaper. that's not really that bad, its also just not really standout good.

I wish it was like pay 3, sac a dude: get a dude back from your graveyard to your hand.
I want to point out that it costs no mana to use his card draw, so free sac outlets can net you cards, and it's also a MAY ability. This could be very strong with a Cruel Celebrant or 2, maybe even in the deck with all the 0-cost creatures (Stonecoil Serpent, Ugin's Conjurant, etc.) and Forever Young, letting you avoid green for Beast Whisperer. It's at least worth a shot.
That showcase frame...stellar. In all sense of the word.
Ok, so it's a 1B constant Weakness with a card draw effect attached. I kinda like it. Some might use it merely for that.
Feels suicide black-ish like, don't you think?

It really is stunning. This is the first new god I’m not really feeling but at least the art of both it and the constellation promos are phenomenal. I can’t wait to see Thassa and Heliod
Damn does this art look amazing. They’ve done impeccable work depicting the gods once again. Well, for the three we’ve seen this far. Heliod also looked good from what I could tell
UGH wizard stop making cards for my Teysa deck I already have a Sophie's choice each time I gotta cut something.
From his bio though I'm really sad to see Erebos mimic Hades, from being a more neutral god who is pretty chill and accepts his fate since he know all will die and come to him to "Jealous paranoid, tyrant who guards his realm with an iron whip".

That was my thought too. Personally, I wouldn't say way worse, but not as efficient as him. One can pretty much play a Brawl version using this. A big plus he has over Yawgmoth, Thran Physician is that the God is indestructible, and can still funtion in play as a simple enchantment if devotion is turned off. For me those are huge.
However, yes, Yawgmoth I think is more efficient all around.
interesting Erebos, I would say not as good as OG, They gave the card a round-a-bout condition compared to his original (which was 1B and 2 life for a card). I also believe he lost a toughness.

But this is still decent regardless should have Ben -2/-2
But remind with the ability from wording you can do the weaken and draw a card at the same time

Nylea's art looks so "small" by comparison. She's a god and she wasn't majestic in the new art.
