Aside from the three scry lands and other cards that have been spoiled today by the mothership, there are also Ashiok's Adept, Archetype of Imagination, and the first god to officially be spoiled: Ephara, God of the Polis. The first one, Ashiok's Adept, only costs 2B, though this comes with a weak 1/3 PT. However, its heroic ability is pretty nifty as it can make each opponent discard a card every time it becomes the target of a spell. Until more card are revealed that could support Ashiok's Adept, we still wouldn't know if it would actually see play beyond casual.

The next card, Archetype of Imagination, is part of a cycle of five cards, one for each color. They basically give your creatures an ability or upgrade of some sort, while providing a disadvantage for the creatures of your opponents. It is always nice to see that cards like this and Ashiok's Adept target all opponents. I don't see Archetype of Imagination as appearing in serious play simply because of its 3/2 PT for a card that costs six mana. There are just too many good blue cards right now to use something like that.

Finally, Ephara, God of the Polis, is officially the first God card to be revealed in Born of the Gods. Aside from the beautiful artwork, it has a pretty great PT for a 2WU cost. Moreover, while a devotion cost of seven might seem to high, which is actually five because Ephara already has WU in her mana cost, there are a number of creatures out there that can easily make her a creature. For example, Thistledown Liege already provides 3 devotion, aside from making Ephara into an 8/7 indestructible god. Let's see whether she sees some serious play or not and simply be discarded for Thassa, God of the Sea.
