Rank the Gods

Standard forum

Posted on April 14, 2014, 9:06 a.m. by Arorsthrar

Now that all 15 Hods have been released/spoiled, we can finally rank them. Of course we haven't seen the JOU affect the current standard yet, be based on the abilities, how would you rank the gods?

1: Atheros 2: Thassa 3: Erebos 4: Ephara 5: Nylea 6: kruphix 7: Mogis 8: Heliod 9: Xenagos 10: Keranos 11: Iroas 12: Purphoros 13: Keranos 14: Karametra 15: Pharika

This is based on synergies, CMC, tournament results, potential in eternal formats, and my overall impressions.

13 should be Phenax, not Keranos. Keranos is 10 on my list.

Xenagos, Thassa, Purphoros, Ironas, Heliod, Atheros, Erebos, Nylea, Kruphix, Keranos, Mogis, Karametra, Phenax, Ephara, Pharika

Taking EDH into consideration. Pharika, God of Affliction will see snake tribal play at least. Never was a fan of Ephara, God of the Polis , shes got the card draw but seems underwhelming to me. Xenagos, God of Revels is just too good. Iroas, God of Victory is way better than he's being given credit.

My top 15 is based on standard playability in my opinion: 1. Athreos, God of Passage 2. Thassa, God of the Sea 3. Nylea, God of the Hunt 4. Iroas, God of Victory 5. Xenagos, God of Revels 6. Ephara, God of the Polis 7. Keranos, God of Storms 8. Erebos, God of the Dead 9. Mogis, God of Slaughter 10. Purphoros, God of the Forge 11. Heliod, God of the Sun 12. Pharika, God of Affliction 13. Phenax, God of Deception 14. Karametra, God of Harvests 15. Kruphix, God of Horizons

I think Kruphix just sucks all around. some of my other positions are debatable. personally, I really like Keranos, but I don't think he will see much competitive Standard play

  1. Thassa
  2. Xenagos
  3. Athreos
  4. Erebos
  5. Purphoros
  6. Iroas
  7. Heliod
  8. Nylea
  9. Ephara
  10. Mogis
  11. Kruphix
  12. Phenax
  13. Kruphix
  14. Karametra
  15. Pharika

I changed lots the whole way through. 6-9 almost seem interchangible, I initially thought Kruphix, God of Horizons would be much much better but finally realized he's so slow he's pretty much only a commander to me. Thassa, God of the Sea was/is the best god start to finish to me
