![]() ![]() ![]() How about a more recent example with Alrund, God of the Cosmos? This god is a 1/1 for five that’s much bigger if you have a full (or fuller) hand and a lot of foretold cards. In the case of Amonkhet gods, they required other specifics to be able to attack or block, but those are easier explained by the cards themselves. This one is indestructible, so again, exiling it or hoping you have some -1/-1s in your deck somewhere are your only options.Īlso of note is its second ability: “As long as your devotion to blue and black is less than seven, Phenax isn’t a creature.” So it works as an enchantment to buff your other creatures even before you can use it as a creature to help beat face. Next, let’s look at Phenax, God of Deception. This bad boy has the ability: “When Ilharg, the Raze-Boar dies or is put into exile from the battlefield, you may put it into its owner’s library third from the top.” Good luck getting rid of that thing! ![]() The only way to truly get rid of this thing is to either exile it or make the battlefield such that having it alive and well would not be good for its controller.Īnother example would be the gods from War of the Spark, like Ilharg, the Raze-Boar. The main one to call out is the last one: “When The Scarab God dies, return it to its owner’s hand at the beginning of the next end step.”īasically, it’s coming back without question next turn. ![]() It’s a decent 5/5 for five mana in Dimir, plus awesome abilities to boot. It’s probably easier to describe what gods were using a few examples. They also had an ability where they were used as a different permanent type until specific battlefield criteria were met. This was the case until Kaldheim at least, when the latter ability was removed and the former was made questionable at best. It used to be that all gods had mechanics that made them exceedingly hard to kill or allowed them to regenerate without the non-evergreen keyword. In general it was two things: a) very hard to kill, and b) sometimes being a different type of permanent. Nearly 40-year-old movie references aside ( god, I feel old), what is it that makes a god? Beyond the obvious creature type of the same name, of course. ![]()
