The mono-color Theros gods were all better

>>52692034
These are all shit in edh
Why not just run theros gods

White and red gods are made of shit.

The gods are seriously the most disappointing part of Amonkhet so far
Like what's the point of them? They're not remotely playable or interesting.

>>52692034
Their P/T almost match... but not quite.

Their mana costs JUST ABOUT match... but not quite.

They are terrible.

Just get rid of Mythics then.

Bumping Planeswalkers down to rare would have a pretty big impact on limited. Sometimes cards get bumped up to Mythic specifcally because they do lewd things to mythic.

Also I guess market research shows that players having a 1/8 chance of opening a special thing (rather than always knowing you have 10 commons, 3 uncommons, and 1 rare, every single time always) makes opening packs more exciting. People like the surprise I guess?

just make planeswalkers mythic then. Not as bad an impact on limited, and fits the whole "planeswalkers are speshul" shit they are trying to push. Magic has gone consistently downhill since the introduction of the mythic rarity

Literally the only god I would consider buying is mono G and he's only a sidegrade from Nylea...

At more than double the price. AKH has a lot of great commons and uncommons for my alesha and liliana heretical healer decks plus some great simic cards but. Holy hell the rare + mythic + legendaries are ass

Funnily enough, Mythic Rarity was introduced in 2008 when MtG was losing players in DROVES, dropping from 7 to 6 million players.

Since mythic rarity was introduced, it has gained more than 14 million new players and in 2014 was at around 22 million.

I still hate mythic rarity, but gambling highs are serious fucking business.

Unironically defending mythics. Just how cucked can you be? If you don't get paid for this kys asap.

I'd say 3 out of 5 are at least playable. Green, White and Black seem like it would be more or less easy to get them online, considering EDH is a slower format for most people at least. I'd even say the black one is pretty good in a monoB deck with a lot of sack outlets and things like grave pact and dictate of erebos

If Blue isn't playable, then show me a card with repeatable instant-speed draw at less than 3cmc to cast and 4 for the actual draw.

More or less. There are probably more but I'm not going to go over every single card

If we're talking about draw engines without adhering to those exact terms, I'd play rhystic study over the god every time

Going to the Amonkhet open house tomorrow at my LGS my brother has decided to tag along. Neither of us have played magic before and my brother has no interest but is only coming to grab a second free deck for me and the promo card.

So my question is which deck (s) should we pick? And which colour would be best for a total noob?

It literally doesn't matter. Pick whichever color you like more

I like mythics unironically. They let Wizards print insane crazy shit that would ruin limited if they showed up regularly.

These are the best kind of mythics BECAUSE they suck. Good mythics get their prices jacked up like mad because people need 'em for standard. I'd much rather have shitty mythics that have zero standard playability but have applications elsewhere.

>>52692034
these aren't even playable in EDH, dude. The most EDH-playable ones are Bontu and Kefnet, because Kefnet reads "Pay infinite mana: win the game" and Bontu is a sac outlet- but there are cheaper and better versions of those effects available as commanders.
