Which God Do You Worship?

Thanks for commenting! If you like this deck I'll like some of your decks. :)

Just throwing it out there, random killing is part of what Xenagos finds fun. Revelry is not a bad thing per say, but it isn't all happy times and sunshine like you make it out to be. It is party, party, party, and anyone who doesn't join the dance and gets in the way gets dead real quick. That being said, Xena-god is best god

Any revel you can just walk away from isn't worth attending in the first place.

THASSA ALL THE WAY!

But breaking your legs from bedroom related adventures or calling away because of the shed load of 60% proof wine you just necked, it is awesome! You know, cause that well be a few broken bones and people burned at the steak but hey, each to their own!

Thanks for the feedback! :)

No problem currently making a modern mono black control

Granflux has deleted this comment.

for gameplay thassa but for style phenax!!!

No mogis for gameplay and xenagos for style

I'd like to add I have High hopes for the arrival of the Orzhova God.

It has great art in my opinion. :)

Also, it would probably be a good thing to tag this as: NOT ACTUAL DECK

Oh thanks, good idea! :)

Me too.. I really like her art, but I don't know what the card will do. :)

Man no one likes kruphix :(

Kruphix is my favirite

So do I!

I love mogis but xenogod is just awesome in flavor

I like mogis! :)

I like mogis...he's pretty good if u build the right deck around him..

.... You have issues, sir O.o

Marines have a saying when shooting a saw. "die fluffy bunny die." it supposed to be the right amount of timing it should take from start to finish before releasing the trigger. to give the right amount of rate of fire, before u start to lose control over the weapon's accuracy, and heat.

No he doesn't. That's how Mogis works. :D

I carried a saw for about 15 months and never heard that phrase but i did love it. i was also army 1-94 cav b trp out of MN.

Yeah Keranos got like maybe hands down the best art. Soooo sweet.

his ability is sweet too...

It absolutely is. I've been trying to build with him though, and unless he has a good chance of being a creature that ability doesn't seem to cut it. I haven't had any luck getting him to be a creature, I need a couple more highly relevant creatures to make the deck worth it IMO. Here's hoping for a sweet Fanatic/Prophet of Keranos as an enabler.

I don't even think that's necessary. As the saying goes "Splash Azorius". Keranos has America Control written all over him. That card draw plus the removal and faceburn potential? Its gonna be brutal.

I actually would tend to disagree. I don't think that "Splash Azorius" makes sense when "Play Azorius" is so much better. I don't think his ability adds anything drastic to the current builds of U/W/R, and with their top end consisting of hands down better things (like revelations) and no way to turn him into a creature, I don't know if he earns a slot. Unless I've missed something, I doubt I would pursue that route.

Grixis, on the other hand, has more trouble with card advantage but is more focused on burn (Rakdos's Return). That sounds like a shell where he may be of more use. I already have him in a test shell, right now I'm just looking for more relevant creatures. The problem is that any control shell and most burn decks are more focused on instants and sorceries, so he is less likely to get the necessary devotion to become a creature and therefore far less overpowered.

Seven is a lot of devotion to build. I made this deck I plan to use when Nyx comes out. I lean on his ability to pressure my opponent and extra card draw. If I hit devotion it's another win condition.

Hopefully more Izzet spoilers to comes!

The gods count towards their own devotion...
Besides, you don't need a god to be a creature for it to have a devastating effect. Gods like Mogis just destroy everyone just by being on the battlefield and in Izzet, Grixis and America control, Keranos will be devastating. In my opinion, more-so than a card like AEtherling

I love Keranos, God of Storms. He has good art, a good ability, and an interesting set of problems. Plus, his art is awesome!

It would mean a lot if you looked at some of my decks.

I like Mogis and Nylea The most and I love the art on kruphix. :)

so metal \m/

Me too, I mean I like those gods. :)

What about atheists?

emrakul is for the atheists.

Yup worshiping Emrakul

Yes I agree they are based off those goddesses. :)

They are are very Important yes but not the best for gameplay

Suck balls

Hey, and respect people's opinions!

So you like the deathly ones. :)

I like the ones that piss you off.
If you've seen my decks, then you'd know ALL about that

I know she is amazing. :)

I use her in an Infinite Combo deck for the upkeep Scry 1. But that's where the relationship ends

I couldn't find it.

12:00 tonight. as in 1 hour 27 minutes from now. dailymtg.com

Iroas spoilerd: http://www.magicspoiler.com/mtg-spoiler/iroas-god-victory/

Oh I'm about to go look! :)

My favorite one was sigiled starfish, It's a starfish and iroas looks really powerful. :)

yeah but seriously the best thing spoiled so far is the gnarled scarhide. They're really trying to pull monoblack aggro back. I appreciate that.

nvm, check the new pushed white legendary: Godsend.

Good reason. :)

She is a big problem especially in a deck that runs Flamespeaker Adept cuz then it combats for 4 every turn. o-o Especially if you throw Aqueous form on it.

Ouch, that's true. Never really thought of using Flamespeaker Adept in that fashion. That's pretty smart.

Cryptic Annelid is great with flamespeaker if your playing modern.

Wow, +6/+0 just from that.

No he can't actually

Maybe the web host or whatever you call it will? It's not too difficult to program even for a noobie like me.

Well I'm not mtg vault creator so you should inform the creator of mtg vault about that

Wait what do you mean? :)

well you'd need like a poll with each as a selection/vote. Input: someone clicks Xenagos. Output: add 1 to Xenagos count, Display Xenagos count. Do that for each. The creator could handle this no problem if he's willing to give the time.

OR someone can count the amount of gods mentioned and then the amount of them will be in the deck for others to see, but unfortunately Paprika, God of Chilli will not be in there

Yeah, I might count them all up, Maybe later. :)

Use purphoros in a goblin token deck and it makes MAD damage, if you want to see it, click on my name and go to Purphoros' Goblins.

Behold blessed perfection... :P

They will be done great and gassy Yawgmoth

He does have nice art. :)

Oh, and Akatosh =]

I have to agree. :)

I don't mind a fun deck on the front page, easier for the community to get involved and interact with each other.

I don't know how to post things like that on the forums. :)

Most people don't go to forums

That's their problem.
See, THREE out of the top 10 "decks" in the "hot decks" section are currently no actual decks! People are misusing the main feature this site has to offer. At least, one of the other three is a newbie guide, but still, if this trend continues, we'll be swamped in non-decks. This is Vault, not Facebook, damnit.

Hint to MTG vault creator make a mtg facebook

Okay I'll not make another deck like this. :)

Wait there is a forums?

cmb32193 has now proven my point

Yeah iroas looks amazing, you drop him turn four with a minor army and attack and win. :)

Yeah she is really good. :)

he has already been spoiled

Just spoiled today I believe. He's meh.

MEH?! YOU CALL A 4 COST 7/4 WITH A BUILT IN "GOBLIN WAR DRUMS" AND A MODIFIED "MARK OF ASYLUM" MEH?!?!?!?!?! BOROS JUST BECAME F***ING BROKE!!!!!!!!!!!

yo take a calm down pill

He's a great addition to decks that already have a bunch of creatures on the board. I don't think he will break the format. None of the gods have done that except Thassa. I would put him slightly above Ephara and a decent bit below Thassa. Right at Xenagos level good.

lol i was just having some fun. yeah i agree it wont break standard, but its still a nice card. it will definitely make R/W EDH a lot more agressive though

It is very good. :)

not impressed. boros is so 2004.

lol I figured I would get that reaction. I just said that to spite No0b828 xD. And I'm just not a big fan of boros.

Iroas, God of Victory the god of boros ,Indestructible As long as your devotion to red and white is less than seven, Iroas isn’t a creature. Creatures you control can’t be blocked except by two or more creatures. Prevent all damage that would be dealt to attacking creatures you control

Absolutely!

I like their abilities as well. :)

I like nylea very much, 4 mana 6/6 that gives a bunch of creatures trample, pretty good. :)

...all of the minor gods will get cards, that was confirmed a long time ago.

Well hells bells!

I know I saw, Did you see godsend? They should make it that you can only equip it too a creature if you control elspeth. :)

I would absolutely agree that card is soooo pushed. I was thinking something similar, like only legendary creatures can equip it, but then again that might encourage decks that are just pure money.

Like you put it on a scorpion and It's like, " Ummm, That's a scorpion using a legendary weapon of a planeswalker. :)

Agreed! MOGIS FTW!

I don't know how to post stuff on the forums. :)

If it's getting this much attention, people must like it enough to rationalize it's presence on the front page. If you don't like it, press "Back" and scroll past it.

Dude there's a ridiculous EDH deck you can do with him. Depending on the deck you're facing, it can mill them out immediately. Uses some card called like "eater of the dead" or something, but don't quote me, it's way too late to be credible

Keranos, God of Storms not Kruphix... just saying

Omg that ult

Stay here while I go gain 100 life.

Yeah It's so funny I get some counters on some creatures I control next turn get elspeth from the top of my deck and play her a few turns later +100 life. :)

Ajani is the reason I began playing red black back in the day, I hate life gain decks so much that I used to MB 3-4 Rain of Gore and/or 3-4 Everlasting Torment, this Ajani makes me wish Rain of Gore was still standard or reprinted!!!!

Ha Ha! You flash in rain of gore, And suddenly a planeswalkers ultimate is -8, You lose 100 life! :)

um just run erebos or better yet, havoc festival

Skullcrack lols.

Skullcrack, Flames of the Blood Hand, Leyline of Punishment, Erebos, and Havoc Testical are all silly. And ya that sucks target player gains 100 life that does make Rain of Gore really bad but Everlasting Torment is still amazing!!!!

....who would ever use the ult? the +1s are freaking epic....

Um anybody would, in the case scenario in a control deck and/or a Bant Superfriends it would be perfect, Ajani Draws a card while Jace plays defensively, Kiora works towards her Ult and Elspeth produces dudes. You have access to Sphinx's Rev, D-Sphere, and Supreme Verdict which is all you need. You could Ult Ajani to ensure your opponents cannot win!!!!! It is an easy choice. Now in an Aggro and/or Midrange deck it wouldn't be as relevant but there are plenty of people who would ult him in a heartbeat!

The God of Victory would like a word.

no iroas wouldn't he is even more idiotic than the boros already were

Purphoros x Iroas OTP

Pharika and Mogis.

Wow are we seriously shipping gods now? Keranos × Ephara is my true OTP

because she is a godess obviously... :-p

If it's Black/White, then it will have a painful life gaining/draining ability. That's what that particular colour combination is notorious for

up until the spoiler it would be eh seeing how black white doing pain and drain to my knowledge is only recent. before second ravnica, black white ran a slightly different mechanic. more based around removal and graveyard. atleast thats what i have seen... although new BW cards plus some solid green creatures.... necra FTW.

Yeah I did notice, If xenegos was a two drop, He would be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Much better than any other god. :)

You counted? Thanks! )

no problem

Really I was expecting more

wat

Not only is he going to see extensive play in standard, he may even enjoy the limelight of modern. He's the best god since Thassa. You could even debate that he is better.

Let me put it this way. He takes one of the best aggro/weenie color combinations and hands it the thing it needs the most: a solid card advantage engine. Every time you try and remove a creature you have to make a decision: Take a Lightning Bolt to the face, or turn my premium kill spell into a glorified Unsummon? It may not seem like much, but this card is going to be a house. Also of note is the fact that he's incredibly undercosted and, just like the rest of the gods, is an indestructible beatstick.

Can you see him in standard paired with the B/W humans core? Now you have not 4, but 8 cards in the deck that make Supreme Verdicts useless. With this and Xathrid Necromancer, what do you do? A Verdict leaves their board basically the same and you at a lower life total. You're going to have to remove everything twice or more.

In modern he is going to do some stupid things with Geralf's Messenger and maybe Fulminator Mage.

Yes the only thing that's going to keep him fair is good old fashioned graveyard removal ladies and gentlemen. Sleeve up your Rest in Peaces.

well its ok but i was still expecting life drain each turn or something like that

With Ghost dad and Blood Baron in Standard? That would have been kinda boring in my opinion. Nah this effect is pretty fantastic

...Have you seen many decks run Tajic? Ever? Or even Aurelia for that matter? Geselia is in the wrong block and still isn't played, and Lightning Helix doesn't interact with him at all.

This Standard the only Boros cards played are Warleader's Helix, Chained to the Rocks, Boros Charm, and Boros Reckoner. That's it. Boros always looks good but nobody has been really running it. No, this god may help bring some playability back to Boros.

A friend and I ran/run those cards.

... did something happen to the pride on naya? D:

Ajani really likes Theros and just like Elspeth since the conflux his home just isnt the same. Ajani has been searching for her for a while because he heard about what happened in Mirrodin. Ajani has always liked Elspeth and she's always really liked him. Ajani has been to Theros before and even remembers Brimaz from before he was king so he may end up staying for a while once he's done helping his girl.

what happened in mirrodin?

Mirrodin was taken over. So to be put quite simply Elspeth left because it was too late by the time they revived Karn the Phyrexians took over. (The reason she was there is because this is what happened to her home world too) Ajani knew she was going to Mirrodin.

Wow I thought I was the only one who read up on the story.

I actually love her but I know a lot of players are disappointed. Oh well, you can't satisfy everybody

Well I have a 1/1 counter deck I was hoping she would fit into

There's no doubt, this is one of the worst.

i agree caker

That's stupid

I think it'd be fun to play.
http://www.mtgvault.com/kjsj3/decks/in-the-name-of-the-gods/

We praise thee, Erebos!

DAMN IT MAN! Do Syrio's wise words of wisdom mean nothing?
And you know, he does have a point:
Everything leads to death; Pharkia and her poisons, Purphoros making the blades, Mogis, Karametra killing crops in the harvest, Many a sailor dying at sea

All things lead to death. What is life without death? Just a collection of random events? Meaningless...

Maybe that's her worst fear

I thgouht her worst fear is becoming phreixn? expaned that in da webcomic, i think

Well there's a card in nyx called worst fears and the trailer sounds like she's dieing so maybe new worst fears

If you have seen me as a planeswalker, then you know what the ability is. And no it is not the life ability

Well I think I figured it out guys what do phyrexian do? Control people. What would happen if Elsbeth died? She would be controlled by erbos. It even says on a card in born of God's xenogos became what he hated most a tyrant and opresser so that is why elspeth fights him also the card worst fears controls someones turn so I think elspeths worst fear is being control

Xenagos the tyrant chicken js

That's cool. I DEICIDE my fate.

(Check out madman_oreo's comment on this page, btw. Frakking hilarious)

Right. You heard him.

Yes I totally agree, that you have to make a deck around a god not just stick a god in a deck, same with tibalt, in most decks he is terrible. :)

You can just chuck a god into a deck, the problem is finding a suitable deck to put them in. I'm running 2 Xenagos in a Hydra deck becase of the extra power he gives and he was added later because he fitted in well

Agreed, the Gods are building blocks to strategies. I love using Erebos in a deck that has Devour Flesh. Devotion is a great mechanic however I went more of a control route with mono-black and later added blue making the deck Blue/Black control. I cut the Gods all together but utilize Ashiok, Jace, and Aetherling. Elixir is a 1 of in the deck, I use Far // Away Essence Scatter, Doom Blade, Hero's Downfall, Thoughtseize, Psychic Strike, and Pilfered Plans. I found in my local Meta Essence Scatter is an amazing 4 of in the deck because I run into a lot of creature heavy decks and Control is slow against them, however removal and straight counters work great, another reason for the deck disruption.

Personally I believe the Gods are unique and provide a unique take on the format and are great additions. In some ways I would not mind seeing a Return to Kamigawa if they made it similar to Theros and added some Gods, however WOTC Promised they would never return to Kamigawa because the set seemed to fall flat I guess.

Yeah, Samurai and Ninjas just aren't all that great in MTG

Didn't say anything about the spirits! Gotta love the kami.

Also, I can't leave Thassa hanging. I mean, they are somewhat similar in their behavior as for prophecy and wisdom sometimes followed by the occasional smite or massive scale of destruction

So... Pharika, then?

I think he is referring to Nicol Bolas AKA Smaug, lol

Very possible. Or smaug was really niv-mizzet, out-smarting the dwarves and simultaneously casting mizzium mortars.

Strategy wise, he's amazing. He's one of the cheapest to cast, and that especially helps in his colors if you're doing an off white weenie. He'd work well with stuff like sin collector and precinct captain in my opinion, but with all the exile about to be running around, using small, untargetable creatures and possibly not having enough devotion to make him a creature seems like the grave-play thing should be running for a while.

Flavor wise, he's a gross-looking dingy guy who wades through dead people in a river.

i mean. even if you don't get his devotion to make him a creature. a 3 mana indestructable enchantment with his ability is just fantastic. everything your opponent does as far as getting rid of your creatures goes is either useless or comes at an added cost. sure there's gonna be more exile than usual, but not enough to make him not worth playing

Well, his price certainly shows that. I mean, he's got at least $10 more on his price tag compared to all the others, and I'm sure he's going to go places, maybe past standard.

Soon I hope

The're in it now! :)

Yes! Proxy time!

I love them both. :)

Well and anything he does for you can help just about any deck that can play him in. I've actually seen quite a few very competitive RUG decks with him and Kruphix as the MVPs

I'm making the move to RUG Monsters now to make use of him :D

Keranos is my homie!definitely one of my favorites. You wanna see him at work in a really mean standard deck? check out my red blue deck titled "the meanest deck ever"

Giant Tentacruel.

Giant flying spaghetti monster

Ey, the gorgons used to be literally the sexiest women there was, until Athena got mad after a series of events and made them snake people. Dey was teh prime bitchez back in the day.

Freaking kruphix guys. No maximium hand size? NO FRAKING MANA BURN ????? Srsly

mana burn is not a thing any more
