Let the Theros preview season begin!

With 5 new awesome cards!


BONUS: Thassa, God of the Sea!

Thassa, God of the Sea
Legendary Enchantment Creature - God
Indestructible As long as your devotion to blue is less than five, Thassa isn’t a creature. (Each  in the mana costs of permanents you control adds to your devotion to blue.) At the beginning of your upkeep, scry 1. : Target creature you control can't be blocked this turn.
	5/5

Things to notice:

• Enchantment Creatures confirmed, and all of them will have that starry border; thus, the Gods are also Enchantment Creatures
  
• Up to now, all the Monstrous creatures are more efficient P/T wise than its mana cost suggests, on average
  
• Devotion is Chroma, remade
  

I liked Monstrosity since Polukranos was previewed, but I still hate how it's worded. Why is a keyword action a noun? Others are all verbs for good reason. To scry, to fight, to attack, to block, to populate...to monstrosity? If it wasn't worded so weirdly, I'd probably love the mechanic.

Devotion is some weird-a** mechanic. It's obviously the retweaked mechanic as teased (since it's a simpler Chroma). I'm on the fence with this, but this is mainly since I like really clean mechanics like Flashback. Still, Abhorrent Overlord looks like a hilarious Mono-Black finisher, although probably bad.

Heroic's good, Bestow's awesome (reworking Licids is amazing).

So, what the last mechanic is the returning one? According to rumours, it might be scry. Edit: Well, you just ninja'd me on that.

And, worth a mention though probably known by now, no Elves on Theros.

As for the rest of it: I love Bestow, it could be really really good as it plays out. Just a question: Since there's one of the 5 colours for each of these promo's, are these going to be the cover cards ofthe starter decks?

Yes! This is awesome!

I declare this set my favorite just from this.

I mean, Bestow makes your auras not useless if your creature dies so that's great.

Devotion sounds strange but cool too.

Whenever I see 7 I usually think bad for standard, but that Demon just sounds great.

Somebody saw this?


Its...kinda OP...

Those are exactly what they are

The Legendary Kraken is definitely fake. Islandwalk reminder text is wrong, Monstrosity itself is wrong, and there are a couple of overall wording mistakes.
