Heliod gon' get it! I hope she kills Heliod like it's nothing and leaves the other Gods fearful, causing the people of Theros to lose faith in their deities and weaken the Gods out of Godhood.
Ohhh I hope we get to see the epithets of the minor gods as well.

so i guess this is our new cancel. would be nice to not see it for once, but its not a terrible reprint by any means and is of course appropriate here.
I don’t think Heliod deserves to die or lose divinity or anything. It’s rather negligent of the lore and linear to consider just his betrayal. It was a lot more complex than that. He had his justifiable reasons to do what he did. That said, some of his more recent behavior is questionable and may warrant retaliation (notably erasing traces of the other gods to deprive them of devotion). Not death, but certainly punishment. Like how Zeus stripped Poseidon’s immortality briefly and forced him to build the walls of Troy.
Anyhow, I would like to see more detail on exactly what happens and how. I hope the other gods aren’t affected. But honestly, the loss of Heliod May have serious consequences for the pantheon at large. It remains to be seen. I don’t want to lose Heliod as a character (we already lost Avacyn and Konda) but frankly as long as we keep Thassa I can manage. But I’d hate to see him go. His arrogance was rather colorful and I enjoyed the tension he brought to the story with his desires and ambitions. Even if they were troublesome it made for good story and was very characteristic of a solar deity.
flavor text makes me wish we got Kruphix, Far-Seeing as a card instead of Uro. The titans were a cool concept that I felt were more appropriate on a third visit to Theros where that conflict could take center stage and more of them could be printed. It felt like an unnecessary storyline with elspeth, Ashiok, the gods at war and Heliod’s death all being a thing. Titans and Klothys just felt like overkill

This is one of those cases where this has a good chance of being picked up early in limited quite higher than most limited environments.
The flavour text intrigues me. Dang it why is there no lore to go along with this?

I can’t put my finger on it but I think Elspeth is gonna avenge her own death *sarcastic voice*

I think they just previewed it on their Twitter page.
