Anyone have any ideas on whats going to come out in the new set? Post them here!
AJtheConquerer says... #3
I personally think that they are going to come up with multicolored gods. The colors, for example would be based around the Temple's that the will complete the Guild-type duel lands that are also in Theros. so probably B/R, R/U, B/G, W/U and W/G gods will show up

Then, in the next set, they will have the Gods corresponding to the Theros temples

Damnation . Thats what I am calling on this one. I called thought seize and won some pack from it. So the same bet is happening this set too.

If they reprint Damnation, I am gonna lose it, because that will put my deck over the top, however that will also make Mono-B that much better haha

AJtheConquerer says... #7
luckily Damnation is usually counterable though, so some decks wouldn't take that hard of a hit
November 17, 2013 9:26 p.m.
strateupjee says... #8
But you would side it out instantly against Control, so no reason to get it countered :)

AJtheConquerer says... #9
true, true. it would absolutely DESTROY aggro decks though. might even put a handle on Mono-blue devotion, too.
November 17, 2013 9:29 p.m.
Perhaps a Day of Judgment variation of Damnation instead :o
November 17, 2013 9:36 p.m.
I really hope they dont print damnation again. Not right now at least. Black is very powerful as is and giving them a boardwipe in addition to what they have seems unnecessary. im all for it being reprinted afterwards though. Though i guess flavorwisr itd be possibly incorrect
November 17, 2013 9:49 p.m.
AJtheConquerer says... #13
Yeah, I absolutely LOVE how much flavor Theros has. I just hope it gets carried on in Born of the Gods and Journey to Nyx
November 17, 2013 9:54 p.m.
I hope they do multicolored gods. Considering Prophet of Kruphix , it would appear there might be a U/G god, which I would rather enjoy.
November 17, 2013 10:12 p.m.
They've (and by "they", I mean Mark Rosewater on his Tumblr) confirmed that there will, in fact, be a 10-card cycle of dual-colored Gods in Born of the Gods and Journey into Nyx.
November 17, 2013 10:16 p.m.
AJtheConquerer says... #17
i hope that they're going to make a god for each color pairing, and i would also love for there to be a U/G god, because i have been collecting U/G stuff for a while now, and if there is a good deck build around it, soon prices will rise, leaving a happy AJtheConquerer

AJtheConquerer says... #18
@erabel I KNEW IT! i hadn't actually heard that, i just guessed because, well, you know, the duel lands are called Temples. What do you worship at a temple. Yeah. a god.
November 17, 2013 10:19 p.m.
More the. Likely black won't be getting a wrath again. Most of the reason damnation even exists is because the plane it came from was all about mixed color identity. I do however believe a new wrath effect is coming. I wouldn't be surprised also if Mortify was reprinted. I also predict a card that'll turn a permenant into a enchantment in addition to its other types. Not sure how, for how much, or how long.
November 17, 2013 10:33 p.m.
The rest of the temples, the RTR color gods, a non-mono white Ajani (either G/W or R/W, but not a reprint of Ajani Vengeant ), and at least one minotaur lord are the safe bets. I'll go out on a limb and say Tri-color Enchantment Creatures, represented as collaborations between Gods (or, poetically speaking, Born of the Gods).
November 17, 2013 10:44 p.m.
Theros cards have notable names on them like Mogis, Kruphix, Ephara, Keranos, Iroas, Phenax, Pharika, Karametra, Athreos and the fact that Xenagos wants to be a god. Ten names, ten gods.
November 17, 2013 10:45 p.m.
AJtheConquerer says... #23
@raithe000 i like the tri-color idea. Maybe something like this...
3RGW
5/5
Haste
Trample
Vigilance
Protection from Black and Blue

I think I know the names of the gods, too. Based on flavor text and card names from Theros.
Keranos: R/U
Kruphix: U/G
Pharika: G/B
Phenax: B/U
Ephara: U/W
Iroas: W/R
Mogis: R/B
Athereos: B/W
Karametra: W/G
Dunno about G/R, maybe Xenagos though (he's a minor god right?) Plus as raithe000 mentioned, there will be a minotaur lord, and I think that'll be Mogis.

Oh sorry osang21, didn't see you had already mentioned that.
November 17, 2013 10:56 p.m.
AJtheConquerer says... #27
there's probably going to be something like this as well...
Chosen of the Gods
5RRWWGGBBUU
Creature
Chosen of the Gods has every creature type
10/10
Protection from everything
Haste, Vigilance, Trample, Lifelink
Whenever Chosen of the Gods attacks, scry 3
Whenever Chosen of the Gods dies or is exiled, shuffle Chosen of the Gods into your Library, then scry 3
November 17, 2013 10:58 p.m.
AJtheConquerer says... #28
or just some insanely powerful card that holds the best of each color
November 17, 2013 11 p.m.
CrazyLittleGuy: It's okay, I wasn't as specific in mine anyway. I'm pretty excited to see spoilers from the next sets.
As a R/W player, I really want to see a new Ajani in R/W. I miss Ajani Vengeant .
I also caught some art of (possibly) Athreos on the back of a Theros token, he has a silver/gold armor with a snake emblem on his shield with the weird cosmic highlights (it's purple-y) the current gods have. Although it might be just a bestow creature. :P The best part is that the art is by Eric Deschamps. I love his artwork, especially Elspeth, Sun's Champion .
I caught Keranos after reading Lightning Strike . The fact that it involved lightning just made my brain think R/U.
Anyway, NEW R/W AJANI PLS
November 17, 2013 11:11 p.m.
U/G planeswalker wouldn't be out of the question since wizards are really switching things up recently. They introduce RTR, a dual color geared set, and then immediatly after shove mono colors in our faces. Multi colored gods seems a little too out there, since theros is all about one color and being stuck within those bounderies

gnarlicide says... #31
I could see Wrath of God getting a reprint for the flavor. If we are going that route.

deathtouch_roadrunner says... #32
I'm kind of hoping for an Ornithopter since it seems like it might fit the flavor. I'd even be down with a new one... say something like 'waxwing ornithopter' that has some downside to match the whole 'flying too close to the sun' thing.
November 17, 2013 11:31 p.m.
IAmKingTony says... #33
I think Ajani shows up in the third set to help Elspeth save the day.
Xenagos, Demigod of Chaos | 2RG
Legendary Enchantment Creature - God (M)
Xenagos, Demigod of Chaos has indestructible.
As long as your combined devotion to red and to green is less than six, Xenagos isn't a creature.
At the beginning of your end step, if a creature you control has dealt combat damage to a player this turn, destroy target noncreature, nonland permanent that player controls.
7/6

deathtouch_roadrunner says... #34
Also, re Ajani, I think he's getting reprinted since he shows up in the promo art for one of the sets, but I seriously doubt that'll he be w/r.

Triforce-Finder says... #35
Gods of all combinations in a set called "Born from the Gods", hm? Must have been quite an Orgy... I wonder how multicolored devotion will be handled. Or maybe they work complelely without devotion-based creature-ness and two different devotion based abilities..
That would also imply that the five missing color pairs also get their temples. Man, I'm gonna scry my decks like crazy...
And of course every god brings its own tool. Maybe there will be multicolored bestow creatures... Yay! More Nymphs!

I'm wondering when a G/W plainswalker will be printed as a selesnya aggro player myself...one of the abilities be like -3 the equivelant as Rootborn Defenses . That would be sweet.
November 17, 2013 11:55 p.m.
I think they have made enough reprints of Wrath of God . They should make a functional reprint of Armageddon . Something like:
Heliod's Scorn2WWSorceryDestroy all lands.
