    My native language is not English so maybe I misunderstood, but in the second paragraph you mention that you are allowed to write the name in electronic format or the opposite?
    And one last question, do you avoid just write the name "God" or any other name of your god in the plural or to award it to another being?


    pd: sorry to deviate the topic, but this is probably the only chance I have to ask this


    He CAN, he simply doesn't wish to. Force of habit or something.

    Since I have had to answer this question already a couple times, and I do not want to take the thread off topic, I point you to this post.


    Well don't bend them God cards brah.

    Why he don't say "god"? Because Yaveh, Jehova, HYHW could piss if the word that is NOT his name and strictly speaking is the word to describe a deity is written?


    That sounds...rather insecure.

    For the love of God just say God, God God God God God God! This whole G-d thing is
    1. Assinine
    2. Making my OCD flare up.


    Gods. Or dogs. But apparently the last guy who said god was speaking to him through dogs got the death sentence. Prophecy seems like a bad way to make a living nowadays.

    This is very solid design and very believable. Card is also well balanced - can't be easily broken, but the power level is high.

    BUT I expected something completely different - expected each color to get a completely over-the-top creature, at least as epic as the legendary Eldrazi. After all they're THE only 5 Legendary GODS. We most likely won't see anything else *that* special in the next several years...

    I'm not really a fan of over-the-top fatties but it feels just wrong, like merely a demi-god or a lesser god.


    Problem is, you'll never see an Eldrazi of that magnitude again. Maro called it a mistake before.

    Typhon was a monster that Zues defeated. Just because Greek gods did't go around stomping around destroying stuff, does not mean they weren't powerhouses.


    You know what it sounds like? Whining. Would you like some cheese with that whine?

    Unfortunately I can't say this is the most uninspired crap I've seen all week. I watched the VMAs.

    But really, this sucks. It's boring. The design is boring. These are supposed to be god cards, and instead we got glorified enchantments that want desperately to be planeswalkers.


    That was what they told us they would be. Did you expect Emracool, third evolution of Tentacool?

    Quote from ThePitterPatter
    So 2 questions

    1. Due to it's creature type, can you only have 1 god out at time due to it being legendary?
    2. If you have enough devotion to make it a creature, but that amount goes down below its requirement while it's a creature, does it just become an enchantment again?


    1. No, it's a creature, not a planeswalker. So as long as the name of the card is not the same you can have Thassa and White Golf-Playing Jesus and Erebus on your board at the same time. And your opponent can have the same too.

    2. Yes.

    Quote from DemonDragonJ


    And why is "god" a creature type now? For twenty years, this game has had being of awesome and godlike power, but never had "god" as a creature type. Even godhead of awe and demigod of revenge, which have the word "god" in their names, did not have "god" as a creature type: they were spirit avatars, and I believe that the gods of Theros would function perfectly well with those types, as well, especially considering that what abilities that have been revealed thus far are impressive, but not truly "godlike," in my mind.


    I'm not sure what the real point you're getting at here is?

    THIS is a 'God' in Magic.

    This thing? 3 mana? This just seems like a bunch of awkward clauses and state-changes cobbled together to do something..new..

    Not trying to be Mr. Negative here...just really not impressed moved by this at all. Slant


    No, that is a mistake that will never happen again. The myojin are better comparisons.

    While I do like this card's design, I'm calling fake.
    It just doesn't seem epic enough to be a Mythic God card. I'm expecting something more splashy. Also, 4chan, no image and strange template.


    An indestructible 5/5 who lets you scry at the beginning of every turn and can make any of your dudes unblockable for 3 mana isn't splashy enough for you?

    Tough crowd.

    So the mill mods have been discussing this, and we're having trouble deciding. We did a couple mock-ups, and well, things don't look good if they keep the reminder text. And if Scry gets reminder...


    I actually like the third one. Is that wrong of me?

    Is their Devotion not a keyworded mechanic then?

    Quote from RichardHaro
    While it would be awesome design if true, it's probably just a good guess

    The main reason I'm sceptical is a) because it's 4chan and you need to take what you read with a grain of salt, b) because the card has scry on it and if it is on this card that means scry will be making a big return because why would they put it on one card, and it's not likely wizards are bringing scry back, and c) because it's absurdly powerful


    Excuse me, but we aren't 4chan, we're \TG\ and we get **** done.

    Not my point. My point is "Devotion 5" is now how it would be worded going by the spoiled card.

    If real, this will say "As long as your devotion to blue is less than five, Thassa is a noncreature enchantment and loses indestructible."


    The guy was told about it from a friend, so the exact wording may be slightly off, however, we're pretty sure it is otherwise legit.
