A naya devotion list that draws so well and can be very fast. Had a lot of success with Green Red devotion and this deck is just even stronger thanks to journey into nyx. Lets take a look at the cards:

Ajani, Mentor of Heroes- Great planeswalker all around. Instant target for opponents right when it hits the field, and goes great with ramping. One instance at an FNM, I +1'd Ajani, Mentor of Heroes into a Xenagos, the Reveler that could be casted and then +1'd into a Domri Rade that could -2 for Polukranos, World Eater fighting action! All on turn six! My opponent could only scoop and go onto the next game. The high planeswalker count in this deck is essential to win, and Ajani, Mentor of Heroes just pushes plays overboard.

Burning-Tree Emissary- This card is insane with Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and is underplayed with it. This allows some draws to be explosive in the beginning game and even mid to late game. Drawing it with a Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx out is always overwhelming especially with the other high devotion count creatures in the deck. This deck has ways to easily scry and Courser of Kruphix and Domri Rade definitely contribute with sifting through the deck in order to draw that Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx

Chandra, Pyromaster- A great one of since she draws cards effectively. I would run 2 if I had the room since she is so underrated.

Courser of Kruphix- This card is my favorite card from Born of the Gods. His life gain is relevant and he helps look for Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. Plus his body is awesome with a great devotion count. He's a must four of in the deck since drawing him is always awesome.

Domri Rade- More deck interaction. Just essential for the deck although my creature count is only 2 which is a risk. To be honest, I do often get very lucky with Domri Rade activations, so the creature count is out of my personal preference to run more planeswalkers. Also, Courser of Kruphix has great synergy with Domri Rade that way he hits more often.

Elvish Mystic- Basic Ramp, probably just a Green/Red staple in general.

Garruk, Caller of Beasts- Great card to draw. Usually always gives value right when he enters, so giving a Jace, Architect of Thought type of impact when he hits the field for green. Even if he gets removed, hes done a fine job already, most likely.

Kalonian Hydra- Works great with the whole deck. Its a threat that must be removed, or else they lose. It adds to the high threat count of the deck. If you have this out with even more threats then an opponent is just going to fall behind and lose. Also, giving it haste when a Xenagos, God of Revels is out is never bad.

Nylea, God of the Hunt- She's probably the worst out of the theros gods next to Heliod, God of the Sun, but trample is a really relevant ability a lot of the times and she is a big body herself that can be devoted pretty easily, so shes not bad at all as a one of.

Polukranos, World Eater- This deck can abuse him! Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx is insane with this guy especially alongside a Xenagos, the Reveler, which uses his +1 in more abusive ways. He must be played in the deck as a four of.

Sylvan Caryatid- Good Burning-Tree Emissary target and produces mana of any color which is important for secret tech sideboard cards like Syncopate.

Xenagos, God of Revels- Just makes combat awesome. Gotta have it in a devotion deck.

Xenagos, the Reveler- I run 3 because of his underrated +1 being so useful in this deck. Such a good planeswalker for the deck since he can +1 in order to activate Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx.
