kruphix god of... what exactly
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum
Posted on March 31, 2014, 9:20 p.m. by sertsew123
Kruphix g/u has been mentioned in a number of cards including Prophet of Kruphix and Courser of Kruphix but also more subtly in [[agent of the horizons.
So while he will probably be the God of time, I want to know if anyone thinks it will be different.
Also what do you think his abilities will be and how do you think he will interact with the other cards that mention him/her( is it a him or a her or neither).
Time seems logical but what would his ability do that would mesh with that? And in G/U no less? Maybe with something on how you play spells. Like sorceries get flash or something?

I'm really hoping for 1gu 2/3 indestructible body and like 6 devotion to be active. Static of you may make an additional landplay on your turn.

Yeah but I hope it isn't just a cross color hypersonic dragon. That would be a little redundant for something as important as a God.

Don't you know?
She's the God of Prophecy!
Eh?
Heh?
:( That was bad, i know.

Don't forget Temple of Mystery !
Kruphix, God of Fate; Kruphix, God of Thresholds; Kruphix, God of Crossroads; Kruphix, God of Horizons; Kruphix, God of Twilight; Kruphix, God of Mystery; Kruphix God of Time
Kruphix seems to be an in-between-places deity, with some spider imagery thrown in for good measure. I wish Courser of Kruphix had had room for flavor text.

An indestructible version of Exploration that can also become a creature seems incredibly overpowered. I'm kind of just hoping for a Primeval Bounty -esque effect. Similar to how Courser of Kruphix rewards you for playing lands by giving you life, perhaps Kruphix rewards you by giving you 1/1 (?) tokens or something. Or +1/+1 counters. That feels more simic, actually.
Come to think of it, I really hope its the counters.

What about having a tap effect to add mana to the pool? Or, (totally not going to happen) it had an effect similar to Omnath, Locus of Mana ?

I kind of think (not hope) that it will be something like Phenax, God of Deception where its like tap kruphix and distribute 1/1 counters on creatures you control equal to your devotion or attack of something or whatever......but i dont know

Kruphix is not likely to have anything to do with counters, seeing as none of the Kruphix cards have anything remotly linked to it. It will probably have something to to with time, like getting more lands, untapping creatures, flashing things. I absolutely love Prophet of Kruphix and Courser of Kruphix , so I'm really looking forward to what this god can do.

Baycer suggested this in another thread, and i think it fits G/B's feel in Theros:
Kruphix, God Horizons 3UG
Legendary enchantment Creature - God
Indestructible
Devotion Blah blah
At the beginning of your upkeep, reveal the top card of your library, if it's a land card put it into play, otherwise put it into your hand.

I think Oletorpedo and Baycer might be onto something. All Courser, Prophet, and even Kiora, the Crashing Wave all let you increase your land amounts and use. With regard to Kruphix, I'm thinking another land fetch might be redundant overkill.The Simic guild has a fair amount of card draw, and I once expected the god to have more of Thassa, God of the Sea 's or Courser's passive. Simic is, arguably, one of -if not the- weakest guild in standard right now, so can only hope for something to give it a lot more power and threat. An activated ability to give a creature hexproof for the turn would be nice.
It might be a little more out of control (OP), but something like, At the beginning of your upkeep, if you were dealt damage last turn, draw a card. It would seem pretty OP, too much so even, but look at some of the other gods like Mogis and Xenagos.

Maybe even something like, "Whenever you play a land this turn, you may reveal the top card of your library. If it is a land card, you may put it into your hand."
...or a Landfall type effect of, "Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, Scry 1."

I feel like thay might be too good just putting lands into play like that so I doubt that

Hehe, it'd be awesome if it was something along the lines of "Whenever a land enters the battlefield under an opponents control, you may put a land from your hand onto the battlefield." That'd be so OP XD

Ooooo I REALLY like the Scry 1 idea. Of course, that seems a little too similar to Thassa. One could even argue it's a downgrade so long as they are only playing 1 land a turn. After all, we don't have very many land-fetching abilities in standard.

Playing one land on an opponent's turn is very strong, esp mixed with things like Courser of Kruphix and such. Plus it'd be killer in EDH

It's Kruphix, God of Horizons BTW. It's mentioned in planeswalker's guide to journey into Nyx.http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/ur/293
