Okay, it's a super niche card but it's really good at what it does and I just love it. I don't think it's enough for me to suddenly play Announced Procession but maybe with some other support.
And I thought Esika was the Idunn expy and Reidane was more like Freyja (her war aspect, at least)....
Why not both? Ephara, Iroas and Thassa are all Theros versions of Athena.

Heck, every day I wake up, I don't go out and kill people - and I'm rewarded by not having legions of enemies! Amazing how that works.
Although ninjas are experts of camouflage and concealment, they are actually horrible liars. This means that no matter where you are, you can shout out, “Are there any ninjas here?” and if there’s a ninja within earshot, he’ll be compelled to respond.

How are Iroas or Thassa versions of Athena? I’m not even sure Ephara really is. Honestly plenty of the gods don’t line up with proper mythology so it’s not like the Norse plane should be different.

Iroas and Mogis are analogies to Athena and Ares. Mogis/Ares are gods of War/Battle/Bloodlust, while Iroas/Athena stand for Warglory/Warfare (since Athena is a Goddess of Wisdom and War she is especially the Deity of Wisdom in War, you see; hence the myth also states she springs forth born in full armor). It's not a perfect match since the gods and Gods intersect in multiple places, but the notion of two "Gods of War" referencing different aspects of war has been there in the Greek Pantheon.

ZasZ234 said Iroas and Mogis play in similar theme as Athena and Ares dynamic.
Thassa is a god of knowelge and wisdom and said was partly athena based during Theros 1.
Ephara plays into Athena role as patron of Athens and Ephara said to have grant magic and knowelge to mortals.

Kinda pointed out in another thread most of the magic gods are mixed and matched with the myth and magics own lore.

I’m aware of that part of Athena, but I didn’t really get any idea of wisdom or the like from Iroas. I would sooner call them two sides of Ares (or perhaps not even a side when it comes to Mogis).

Iroas is the strategy and necessity of war aspect of Athena, with even the victory aspect associated with Athena, as in the Parthenon she carried Nike. Mogis is the lust for power and bloodhshed aspect of war for Ares.
Ephara is the civic and justice aspects of Athena, as well as patron of the MTG equivalent of Athens, Meletis as Athena was for Athens itself.
Thassa is the wisdom and knowledge aspect of Athena, which she is most known for as her primary trait.
Eh, honestly those all feel like stretches, especially when one considers the color pie aspect. And as I said I would sooner call Iroas another side of Ares than Athena. It’s not like Ares was completely one dimensional.

It's Freyja's cat chariot... that can crew itself... and is the clone reverse of Bramble Sovereign. You do you, Esika.

I wonder if those cats just devoured 4 mice
Card is good, effectly a 4/4 that creates a 2/2 each time it attacks and also can't be targeted with sorcery speed creature removal. looks good.
And I thought Esika was the Idunn expy and Reidane was more like Freyja (her war aspect, at least)....

So sick of equipments

Agree with the comment on Ghired, this is a perfect additon to that deck, where the Rhinos have the exact power to crew this.
Cat car. Cat Car! CAT CAR! CAT CAR!

That art is absolutely wonderful, I want a wallpaper of that!
KITTY CHARIOT!!!
Which reminds me, it would be hilarious to get a card that referenced the old Viking Kittens video.
