Re: Athreos, God of Passage

It will see play in pod, unfortunately, and absolutely some play in standard.

Edit: This seems like a terrible card for Living End. You don't want your creatures back in your hand.

In my opinion It's going to be the chase rare of the set.

Didn't see it went to your hand....but situationally I could see it be good in Living end, but I saw it as bringing it back to the field for some reason.

So far from what has been released I would have to agree, one of my favorite minor gods that they have made. It has made me reconsider my colors for my next standard deck.

Thassa and Athreos are definitely #1 and #2 respectively.

Thassa I personally value a bit more for the sense that it helps with draws and makes things unblockable, including herself. And plus Thassa is easier to get to 5. But there are things Athreos can do, like keeping your creatures after they die, and with some red I can see some nasty possibilities!

Re: Athreos, God of Passage

Deicide just ruined the party.  Athreos works well in W/B aggro with Cartel Aristocrat, Xathrid Necromancer, and a bunch of one and two-drops.

Attack with Soldier of the Pantheon and Aristocrat.  Sack Soldier, get a zombie, pay three?  Cool... cast Soldier again.

He'll be good, but I don't know that he'll be the single chase card... then again, Brimaz has underperformed expectations too... meh

Decide I'm having a love hate relationship, but really it doesn't mess with my decks too much. And with those two drops(atleast for standard) there's a way of getting them back still even if the 3 life is paid, and that life is played by the opponent unless you are referring to another in hand.

From what I've seen so far, he's the best card of the set, but this is my own opinion. I just see him getting more play then say Kruphix or Pharika, though I can still see her getting play time in. And dare I even bring up that damned Iroas....

Re: Athreos, God of Passage

Oh well yeah, he's the best god of the set by a country mile... I just don't know that he'll have the impact everyone is hoping he will...

I'm personally happy to have Keranos to pair with Mogis in Grixis control.

He probably won't because look at the new Bob, everyone wanted him to be Bob, but instead all the hype died after about a week.

No, please NO! Glad I won't be apart of those shananigans....or should I cause them...
