They didn't do Taimyo because frankly no one cares about 3 color Tamiyo, though it is a good point to say that she wasn't made. Tamiyo wasn't worth breaking that wall down. Bolas is a huge deal, literally the big baddie from 20+ years of Magic lore (props to Yawgmoth of course!) and is the focus of the entire Amonkhet plane. He will be here, and there is no way he will be less than three colors. Prepare your wallet!

damonsteine said: they are supposed to be indestructible and now they are not with the updated bug... nice
wereotter said: damonsteine said: they are supposed to be indestructible and now they are not with the updated bug... nice no, they're supposed to have "prevent damage" which they do and did. They ran into this issue after the Zendikar block where Undergrowth Champion wasn't dying to kill spells, and they made the decision that "prevent damage" didn't prevent outright destruction, and admitted this was an error in how the system calculated the effect of a kill spell as doing a certain amount of damage rather than simply destroying the creature.I can sympathize if you weren't around for the heyday of rampant Undergrowth Champions locking you out of every matchup against Kiora, but if you were, you should have seen this coming. If you weren't, trust me when I say that this is for the best.
@Wereotter, that would be true if it was true.. but its not. They're SUPPOSED to be indestructible. UC Champ never was.
I feel very deceived that they sold all 5 gods in the Elite pack and the DAY the elite pack expires they nerf all of the gods. ****?

Corn Noodles said: Gods shouldn't be indestructible unless there's at least a rare-level exile spell, preferably white. While disable/destroy is great for other colors, white should have exile available. Limiting exile of creatures to Masterpiece-level cards is dumb.
babar3355 said: Here is my guess. They will run out the gods with their indestructible strength. They will sell Angel of Sanctions with the really powerful embalm effect this week. Then they will then run vindicate in the next masterpiece package as a answer to the gods/embalm. Once everyone else has spent their unobtanium they will roll out the next set of AKH cards which will include some high casting cost exile cards which will provide answers to the gods and embalm creatures. Anyone want to bet?

Ohboy said: As usual it's a matter of reading things that just aren't there. The mtgpq version of Gods have never had the indestructible keyword. How can it possibly be a bait and switch.
the gods should have remained indestructible...undergrowth champion definitely not.
there are approximately 30 creatures in MTG that have the keyword indestructible. the indestructible keyword is not going away
D3 need to realise they can't just pick and choose abilities or card's to introduce into their game as what they do, it affects the whole meta. take prowling serpopard for instance. this could have been a fun card but all we have now is an average creature.
They really need to spend a lot more time experimenting and coding different options to let us have keywords like indestructible but also give us answers. as they are now the gods are massively underpowered and will be relegated to PVE events( if they are lucky) or mastered and never used again.

How can it possibly be a bait and switch. A. They already fixed the "bug" with uc.B. The gods are actually immune to destroy spells in paperC. D3 has a history of misleading language.. refer to my call-out of chuluthu after the patch where "access to more cards" means a 33% reduction in cards for the biggest card pack. ( To name 1 of many)You can defend D3 and claim they are once again incompetent. I choose to believe they have shown a propensity for deceit.
