Theros Spoilers – Gift of Immortality, Reverent Hunter

Gift of Immortality Reverent Hunter

Here’s two interesting cards…

The flavor of Gift of Immortality is amazing and shows that even an immortal can be vulnerable for a short period.  If you see your opponent playing with immortal shenanigans remember you have until the enchantment returns to it at the end step to deal it a final death.

Reverent Hunter on the other hand is just a good green beater that shows off the new devotion mechanic.  In a very green centered deck he has the ability to enter play with a whack load of extra +1/+1 counters.  Too bad he doesn’t have any natural evasion.

Theros Spoilers – Bow of Nylea, Bident of Thassa, Magma Jet, Tho...

Magma Jet

*Reprints

Certainly a favorite of many red mages, a stock two mana burn spell but the scry on this one is invaluable in Red Deck Wins style decks that traditionally have very little draw/manipulation going on.

Here a spicy reprint coming out…a much needed modern staple that was escalating into mythic card prices.  Definitely one of the best at what it does.

Bow of NyleaBident of Thassa

Bident of Thassa  1 ManaBlue ManaBlue Mana  Legendary Enchantment Artifact
Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, you may draw a card.
1 ManaBlue ManaTap Symbol: Creatures your opponents control attack this turn if able.

Here we have two of the Theros gods weapons.

The Bow of Nylea is very interesting in that it not only grants deathtouch to all of your attacking creatures but also gives you one of four useful choices as well.  Either pump a creature with a +1/+1 counter, deal 2 damage to a flyer, gain 3 life or return dead creatures to your library.  What more could you possibly ask for ???

On the other hand we have the Bident of Thassa.  The triggered ability of drawing cards when your creatures deal combat damage to players is fantastic, but forcing attacks by your opponents creatures is a bit of a build around me ability.
