If you're going with Sorceries, don't forget Pox. Would love to see that get a foil printing.
Yeah it fits with the plagues from Exodus as well.
Love pox, would bite hard on a masterpiece version with some sort of hieroglyphs.

I think this is like top-down set themes, they're gonna hold off as long as possible because they only have a few options and they'll run out.
Whatever the Masterpiece theme ends up being (and I expect it to be creative rather than mechanical), I think that the Amonkhet Gods will end up on that list. They already know they're going to be popular and splashy, and people would definitely go crazy for them.
How would you even work a tricolor Devotion?
Instead of relying on count of total pips, you could require at least one instance of each pip. (or one permanent of each color)
This is assuming Gods even work the same way. While devotion to gods and the way they become more involved with more devotion was a defining hallmark of Greek/Theros mythology, they may pursue a completely different defining trait for Egyptian mythology. I think that this is probably more likely anyways, to keep the block distinct from Theros.
I think the conditionally creatures isn't even necessary. Powerful Indestructible legendary creatures already suffice.I feel like what I want from gods is creatures that are indestructible and conditionally creatures. Everything else is flexible
I believe Maro has stated Gods could have different mechanics between planes.It's a hallmark of Theros mythology but the need for believers to gods is, as far as I'm aware, just a fantasy and science fiction staple.

The biggest problem is that you eventually run out of interesting cards to print and you're printing stuff that isn't worth anything or isn't particularly powerful, e.g. feelbad special rares.
Yeah beginning of combat to declare attackers is fuuuuuuuuucked
They need to fix that.
Restore Balance
Eh, I get that, but it's not like triggered abilities at the start of combat haven't been a thing recently. Odric has it, Citadel Siege has it, Tezerret's ultimate has it, etc.The problem is that this would really never come up without the specific weird vehicle stuff here. Normally you wouldn't ever want to use effects at that point anyway.

The Theros Gods were more ethereal (their art depicts them hovering over the horizon, melded with the sky). By contrast, the Amonkhet Gods are more concrete. They're shown next to humans and among buildings, and they're made of cloth and metal instead of stars.
So, since the Amonkhet Gods don't seem to have the ephemerality of the Theros Gods, I wouldn't be surprised if Wizards made a very conscious decision for them to not be Enchantment-Creatures.
I also suspect that their metal masks hint at their "unnatural" origins (created by Bolas), which might lead to the them becoming giant killer robots in HOD.
Note crocodile god doesn't have a metal mask, he actually has a normal head. Maybe he's an original god that agreed to work for Bolas and so wasn't killed by him?
that could easily be a metal mask. It's metallic gold

normal creature cards have no flair, they have to be enchantment creatures to properly represent the gods imo
There is also a High End Magic Facebook group you might join. The people that are interested in lands like that are probably part of that page as well.Awesome, thanks for the tips.
I have it posted on the reddit thread, but I know these are kinda stupid expensive basic lands.
Was this posted here? Was looking around to find some of that earlier art from Amonkhet and stumbled upon this in a MTGSalvation thread. Any idea what it might be?
But why?I bought a bunch of copies of Wheel of Fortune for like $5 a while back (liked a decade plus), but they never gained any value, so I traded them off and only have one now and they're like $40.
Finally, Animate Dead will be back in Standard. Gird your card frames.
But why?
Are we at the point where Revised cards are going to be valuable?
reprint?
anything to make them stand out from every other legendary is fine by meI think it's more likely than not that, either because they feature a block-specific mechanic that gets this or just as their own special thing, they get a unique frame treatment.
But it's a red card and I'm pretty sure there are more Wheel of Fortunes in circulation than Yawgmoth's Will and Time Spiral.It's on the Reserved List and sees a healthy amount of play in Commander.
You need a wheel in EDH if you're not blue or black it's the best card draw out there, blue and black have an abundance really. Yawg's Will and Time Spiral are expensive too.But it's a red card and I'm pretty sure there are more Wheel of Fortunes in circulation than Yawgmoth's Will and Time Spiral.
Wheel is terrible in multiplayer. Trust me.Also that art looks like mortify or putrefy

I disagree. It can end up disastrous but you're aware it's coming while your opponents are shaping their hands.Wheel is terrible in multiplayer. Trust me.

My favourite combo with Wheel is probablynot when you're running waste not and megrim!
