I'd say green is probably the best and then all the other gods are equally as useful in the right deck.

I miss the theros gods

Then again the greek gods were always better than the egyptian gods, so I guess it makes sense.

Why'd they choose relatively unknown gods for 3/5? Most people know Anubis and some people know Bastet, but a lot less people know Thoth, Sobek, and Wadjet

>>52676006
why would the fourth sister be made into a card if she was offed thousands of years back. similarly I'm pretty sure the same story article said that bolas rolled up and btfo the 3 other mentioned gods here >>52675926 so don't get your hopes up

>>52676121
>Why'd they choose relatively unknown gods for 3/5?
Probably so they can add in actually playable gods a few sets down when they say "Bolas was only pretending to be retarded."

B>G>rest. Tho its a case of them floating to the top of the boiling cesspool that is the Amonkhet Gods.
Which is boiling because its placed on top of the garbage fire that is the Amonkhet set.

>>52676212
I don't really think they'll add gods in HoD, and I don't see gods in Atlantis either.

So unless we're already going back to Theros I don't think we're gonna see other gods.

My issue is that they're playable, they just don't feel like gods. They feel like decently good creatures with a gimmick.

Like Gideon said, the Theros gods were massive silhouettes on the horizon. The amonkhet gods are just rather tall people.

>>52676212
>the gods were only humans gifted with some of bolas's power

I actually had to do about a triple take when reading the blue god for the first time. I really couldn't believe they'd make his activation cost so fucking steep.

If they made it 5 or more I'd still say its a decent chunk below the other Gods but damn seven? What a fucking breating

>>52674600
G>R>W>B>U

Rhonas is ridiculously easy to turn on.
Hell, Hazoret does it on curve, which makes Hazoret the second most playable god. If you can play Rhonas t3, and Hazoret t4, somehow emptying your hand before then, you're swinging for 10 on turn 4.

Oketra has the best stats, but is slightly less easy to activate.

Bontu has the second-worst activation mechanic, you don't really have to jump through too many hoops for him but the cost of making him attack or block is too high.

Kefnet is garbage. It's very rare that you'll have seven cards in hand, and returning lands to hand is not something you want to be doing as someone with seven cards in hand. You don't want to pay 4 to stick lands into your hand and draw a card unless it's the activation that makes Kefnet work. It is nice that he can block anything blockable, and probably has the best keywords. You also get punished for playing blue if you counter anything your opponent casts in Main 1, because then Kefnet can't block.

>>52676625
Don't worry anon, there are plenty of infinite hand size effects in commander.

Okay guys.. make all the five Gods playable with one SMALL alteration.

White: creatures she creates get double strike instead of vigilance

Blue: If you chose to return a land, your opponent choses and returns one as well

Black: make him 6/6

Red: make it "when you discard a card" instead of paying 3 to discard.

Green: make it just "target creature" instead of "another target creature".

>>52674663
Theros gods don't drive cars when they aren't turned on.
Amonkhet gods have drivers' licenses all the time.

>>52676993
That's actually a bad thing as they can be hit by anything that removes creatures. Having an enchantment removal is... less likely.

>cycling 4 cards with 5 manas
That said, if you don't actually play cards you don't attack with it (you need to have 1 in hand).

>>52677007
To be fair, MOST creature removal still won't kill them. There aren't that many things that either exile or reduce toughness by 5 or 6.
Pervert gets fucked by Grasp, of course, but she probably likes that anyways, the freak.

>>52677052
Plenty of cycling cards this set with a single colored cycling cost.

>>52677052

You misread, you can attack when you have one or fewer, meaning you could keep a combat trick in hand and still attack.

yay, that makes it a million times in a row that 4chan has hated the new mtg set

>>52677080
>meaning you could keep a combat trick in hand and still attack
My point is that if you cycle (and draw a card) you're not 'losing' cards to get to one. Let's say you have 3 cycle cards in hand. If you cycle 3, you will get 3 new cards and can't attack with him.

>>52677074
It's not a very good deck if you're relying on them tough. Good cycle effects only comes with more mana.

>Kefnet: Cannot attack or block unless you have cast two instants or sorceries this turn. 2U: You may cast target instant or sorcery from your graveyard, If that card would be put into your graveyard this turn, exile it instead.

>>52676975
Fuck one small. Some might get two. Biggest problem is a lack of static abilities to go with the actives.
Oketra: 'Other creatures you control get +0/+2' Now she becomes God of Walls.
Kefnet: 'You have no maximum hand size' and drop to 6. Hazoret doesn't require full hellbent, after all.
Bontu: Remove the scry from the activated ability. Remove the under your control from the condition. Add 'Whenever a creature dies, scry 1'
Hazoret: 'Damage can't be prevented' and swap 'each opponent' for 'target creature or player' Also a fifth point of toughness
Rhonas: I...am not sure what actually works here without being overly wordy or just being Nylea, actually. 'Other creatures you control must be blocked if able' maybe?

>>52674600
I might run Hazoret as a EDH commander in a burn deck for the lulz.

I wanted to run Kefnet but his ability is basically useless in mono blue EDH and not even worth a slot as part of the 99.

The only thing I could see these 'gods' to have use is to slap on a Pariah effect so you don't lose life. That's about it.

>>52675615
SURELY you jest

>>52676975
Kefnet: Remove the land pick up and make it a draw 2 and discard 1 or what >>52677125 said but change the wording to say "You may cast target instant from your graveyard if a spell of the same has been cast this turn. If that card would be put into your graveyard this turn, exile it instead."

Kazoret: Change the 2 damage to "Red instants and sorceries that deal damage to your opponent deal double that damage to them until the end of your turn"
White Cat: I'd like a commander that turns cards that say "Prevent X Damage" into "Deal X damage" but that would be off flavor for this block. Don't care about this thing at all.
Rhonas: Nothing really to change, just kind of generic...not really sure what Green's thing is in this block.

>>52676784
I wont play this god over baral, vebser or teferi, and I certainly would rather use dragonlord ojutai if I cared about the card advantage being stapled to my commander

>>52676975
White: Fine as is. Make Token production cost 2W maybe.
Blue: 3U to cast. 2U to activate ability, 5 cards in hand to turn on and 6/6 power and toughness (going for a 3-4-5-6 theme)
Black: Turns on when you have 0 creatures in your graveyard. BB: Exile a creature from your graveyard, target creature gets -2/-2
Red: 2R: Discard 2 cards to deal 3 damage to each opponent.
Green: Fine as is.

>>52677441
Kefnet probably would have been strong enough if it was "You may return a land you control to its owner's hand, if you do you may draw an additional card."
>what >>52677125 said but change the wording to say "You may cast target instant from your graveyard if a spell of the same has been cast this turn. If that card would be put into your graveyard this turn, exile it instead."
Super conditional flashback for 2U sounds awful still, maybe if it was U.

>>52677117

Derp, that was my bad, I misunderstood.

>Journey to Ungoro was better than Tempest of the Gods and Amonkhet
how do they do it bros

>>52677527
True, the land pick up would be worth it in the late game in EDH.
The conditional flashback was to ensure that the EDH deck wouldn't just be Counterspell.dec

Maybe there could have been a mechanic where you reveal islands in your hand and counter a spell with a CMC equal to the amount of basic islands in hand once per turn upon activation? That would make picking up lands more worth it.

>>52677655
people are going to call this bait but JtU legitimately revitalized Hearthstone's meta and introduced decks that weren't 'lul curvestone' while ToG completely fucked SV's meta into having half of the entire playerbase playing literally just two decks and Amonkhet looks boring as fuck with shitty masterpieces and that retarded split design

Ungoro is shit. Until Caverns is nerfed it will push out almost every other quest deck aside from MAYBE Freeze Mage and stop every other deck that isn't running quests completely. Arena is the only good part of this.

>>52675966
Modern and Standard are the shittiest. Try again. EDH has the highest amount of variety out of any format and many different play styles are possible.

>>52674610
EDH only likes the jank that is jank because it can't be fully utilized in other formats but can in EDH. Some cards are jank just because they're bad. EDH isn't a format about playing bad cards, it's a format about being able to play different strategies that don't work in other formats. Playing shit is not endorsed.

>>52674600
A lot of them look like they could be good if they are in a certain deck. If those decks exist in the meta is an important question that most of us will probably live to see the answer too. I consider the activated ability on all of them to be not worth the card alone, so my evaluation is based on the assumption they are good if your deck can easily attack and block with them (or do something sweet like crew a Heart of Kiran while working with Odric).

In no particular order my view is:
Personally, I think Hazoret would be sweet in a hellbent deck. Maybe throw in some Ghirapur Orrery and obviously Noose Constrictor.

Bontu will probably be in any aristocrats deck that is in the same standard as him. Remember, Revolt cards might be sweet in a sacrifice deck. I think Hidden stockpiles is a pretty cool card and hope that it will at some point see standard play.

Ketnet isn't the only blue '7 cards in hand matters' card in Amonkhet. But I'm not sure if there are enough of them to warrant a deck.

I think the gods in general, but Oketra in particular, are sweet with Odric.

Oketra and Rhonas are the only 2 gods where you can potentially just put in any deck that is already running there color. Which makes them more likely to find a home.

I guess I'll go with G>W>B>R>U

>>52676975

Rhonas seems okay in modern mono-green stompy as a 1 or 2-of, but aside from that none of these look even remotely playable.

So bontu can basically never block, with that in mind why is his health higher than power? I know if you used eldrazi tokens he could technically block but damn. atleast his mana ability is strong.

>>52679951
yup but the problem is a 4/6 that needs things to die has to go in an aggressive deck, generally you're using all of your mana up in an aggressive deck.
Unless you're running some slower tempo embalm/token build which might be okay as a B/W build.

It just throws me off at how inconsistent his conditions are compared to the other 4 and the fact he is more defense based with menace.
