I would link the pictures, but I'll just leave this here

JWiley129 says... #2

Bottom line though: MINOTAURS GOT A ONE DROP!

April 7, 2014 12:17 a.m.

Also proves that ajani is in jou as if that's a surprise now just to see if he's GW not just W

Also black aggro now has a 3rd 2 power 1 drop in addition to Rakdos Cackler and Tormented Hero

I like the new boardwipe (which isn't on the spoilers page; 4BB sorcery, destroy all non-enchantment creatures).

There's a blue guy who isn't on the spoilers either. U, 1/1, "U, T: each player shows top card of library. you choose to either put all those cards in graveyards or have everyone draw a card." (paraphrased, obviously). I'd run that in Group Hug in a heartbeat.

There's an enchantress now! Maro's article has it. 2GG, enchantment creature- spirit, Constellation -- Whenever CARDNAME or another enchantment ETBs under your control, draw a card. 2/2

Also also, Hall of Triumph. A 3-drop anthem in any deck you want! Seems really good, actually.

I really really really like the Eidolon. Kruphix...please please be worthy of standard. Don't be another Karametra

Sooooooo maaaany spppoilllers

I'm most excited about that badass starfish oracle thing.

April 7, 2014 12:26 a.m.

cschiller says... #10

Also, what the hell is wrong with that expansion symbol? Is it so hard to come up with a new one instead of fusing together the other two?

April 7, 2014 12:27 a.m.

The new boardwipe has really cool art IMO I don't think we've seen more than one god in art so far and in that we see three. Also it seems everyone thinks xenagos is a douche read the hoplite flavor text

That minotaur is free with ragemonger..sorry I can't link the card on my phone.

April 7, 2014 12:30 a.m.

cschiller says... #13

Limited in JOU seems awesome so far. Constructed? Meh. One drop minotaur is pretty sexy.

April 7, 2014 12:30 a.m.

JWiley129 says... #14

cschiller - There is the Eidolon of Blossoms, idk if it's constructed playable, but it could push through an enchantment-only deck.

April 7, 2014 12:33 a.m.

cschiller says... #15

She does seem pretty nice, but kind of expensive. The Elvish Visionary effect is superb, though.

I'd rather see Argothian Enchantress in M15 XD

April 7, 2014 12:34 a.m.

EKGwins says... #16

I think the minotaur is nice, it really fits in with aggro and tribal. Constellation could have a lot of potential, and Blossoms looks playable, I just wish it was a 3/3.

Ajani's presence was almost! an incredible heroic card, if only strive was 1W.

The starfish definitely has potential.I'm so pumped for the rest of the spoiler!

STAARRRRFIIISH

April 7, 2014 12:46 a.m.

If he becomes name worthy it can be Patrick lol

April 7, 2014 12:53 a.m.

WovenNebula says... #19

@cschiller, I wish they would reprint Argothian Enchantress , likelihood is grim, though it would mean over powered enchantment decks in modern which would be bad for the meta but good for me and you.

April 7, 2014 1 a.m.

Bromjunaar says... #20

Looks like they gave up on Tribute and decided to go back to Monstrosity.

April 7, 2014 1:08 a.m.

Crymson says... #21

The Eidolon makes Naya Auras much better.

April 7, 2014 1:16 a.m.

Bromjunaar says... #22

Iroas is up on the mythicspoiler.com website.

Holy. Freaking. Centaurs.

April 7, 2014 1:19 a.m.

kmcree says... #23

Well there's a new black wrath. So much for the damnation reprint rumors. Lame.

April 7, 2014 1:26 a.m.

cschiller says... #24

Iroas is busted. LIke ridiculous. Soldier of Pantheon, Precinct Captain, Brimaz, Iroas? Holy fucking mana curve.

April 7, 2014 1:28 a.m.

EKGwins says... #25

Iroas is beautiful, I'm in love :')

A 7/4 to top off an aggro deck, or really any Boros deck. Makes your creatures hard to block and also gives them indestructible from creatures.

April 7, 2014 1:29 a.m.

cschiller says... #26

I wish Iroas's art was good. He looks like a centaur who thinks he's buff but has actually had a tad too many cheeseburgers. Also, he's standing on an empty mountain like no one showed up to his birthday party. Like, where are the Akroans pointing their spears at things?

April 7, 2014 1:32 a.m.

VampireArmy says... #27

God Damnit I just have to say this. I'm soooo TIRED of Wizards printing cards that could be REALLY GOOD but then making the mana cost just high enough to keep them from being playable! My theory : Theros is a block intended to only give Commander/EDH nice things and maybe 1 or 2 other things for the other formats (excluding reprints)

CastleSiege says... #28

Can we please talk about this:

April 7, 2014 1:35 a.m.

cschiller says... #29

We are. Art equals terrible. Card equals aggro is the only remaining strategy in standard.

April 7, 2014 1:35 a.m.

Crymson says... #30

Iroas... I'm.... just.... okay.... lost for words.

April 7, 2014 1:37 a.m.

kmcree says... #31

lol I already hate this set. Say hello to 6 months of nothing but WW and Boros aggro.

April 7, 2014 1:40 a.m.

kintighd says... #32

Iroas may be viable in modern.

April 7, 2014 1:42 a.m.

cschiller says... #33

and minotaurs. and mono-black aggro. and rakdos aggro. and heroic aggro. and enchantment aggro.

April 7, 2014 1:42 a.m.

Crymson says... #34

Yep Naya Auras gets a big boost. Mono-black Aggro gets another 1 drop.

April 7, 2014 1:43 a.m.

CastleSiege says... #35

I don't think his art is terrible. He's just praising the sun!

April 7, 2014 1:43 a.m.

EKGwins says... #36

I will admit, Iroas does look faded and too far away. Not much seems to be happening in many of the God's pictures but Iroas seems least exciting. On the topic of card art, I think the foil of Keranos will be awesome, that lightning bolt.

April 7, 2014 1:45 a.m.

CastleSiege says... #37

Oh, I really like this as well:

some_text

I might want that for my commander deck.

April 7, 2014 1:45 a.m.

cschiller says... #38

He's standing in the middle of an empty field. That doesn't make any sense. He should be surrounded by an army of akroans, spears raised, charging at mogis. And he shouldn't be so fat.

April 7, 2014 1:45 a.m.

cschiller says... #39

Yeah, a mono-colored staple. I should add one in

Oh and the promo art for Hall of Triumph is incredible. I'm in love with it. I think I actually kind of want a print.

April 7, 2014 1:49 a.m.

CastleSiege says... #41

Where can I find the promo art?

April 7, 2014 1:50 a.m.

cschiller says... #42

DailyMTG.com. The Magic Arcana section.

April 7, 2014 1:51 a.m.

CastleSiege says... #43

Well, I'll certainly be picking that up for my merfolk/sea monsters EDH deck xD

April 7, 2014 1:53 a.m.

EKGwins says... #44

@cschiller

You could argue that he is standing alone because his army was victorious and they all went home to relax Haha. Also if anything he looks like he took too much protein. His chest plate makes him look a little big, and the horse part makes him look... healthy? I guess.

April 7, 2014 1:53 a.m.

CastleSiege says... #45

Iroas is a total Sunbro.

April 7, 2014 1:55 a.m.

cschiller says... #46

I'm just not a fan of it. The R/W god, patron of a Sparta-inspired city... I was expecting something more...awesome. As in, filled with awe. A fat, lonely centaur whose body is covered in a light fog? Not what I was expecting. I'd rather have Razia, Boros Archangel type art; bright, unique, and undeniably boros.

April 7, 2014 1:56 a.m.

JWiley129 says... #47

cschiller - Iroas isn't fat, he's just really, REALLY, buff.

But yeah, those abilities are CRAZY for a 4 drop.

Ultimaodin says... #49

So far I'm thinking I'm going to be playing Junk Enchantments. Red White will be a pain with the god but I just like the idea of whipping back an Enchantment creature and drawing a card for free. So far I love the look of JOU s a set and keen to draft the block.

Iroas is the sauce..
