Iroas, God of Victory is currently the priciest card for the third and last set of the Theros Block, currently priced at $25.49. Previewed first at
reddit, the Boros God is a clear powerhouse and perhaps the best multi-colored god out there as of now, with a staggering 7/5 body for a mere 2RW. Aside from that, it gives Boros an advantage against other aggro builds such as G/R Aggro as this basically makes your creatures nearly unblockable, and if they were blocked, they would not take any damage at all. Note that the damage is not specified as
combat damage, meaning that as long as your creatures are attacking, they cannot be Lightning Bolt-ed into oblivion. However, when Iroas is in play, the ability of Boros, Reckoner will unlikely happen as all damage to it when it attacks would be prevented. However, that really does not make it a reason to not play the two together in the same deck. On another note, would Iroas dethrone Thassa for the "best god" award?
The second runner-up at this time is Godsend, the legendary equipment used by Elspeth, which is priced at a hefty $19.99. Moreover, Godsend costs 1WW, so it would probably be best two play it either in mono-color or at most with three colors, unless you have a lot of expensive lands. Moreover, Godsend is a decent card. It is not weak, but it is not overpowered either. Indeed, the opponent can opt not to block the equipped creature and try to survive with the means he/she has, but on another note, the creatures of the opponents would normally be at risk of being blocked by the
"Godsent" creature. What would make this a great card, though, is if the creatures you control have vigilance. Attack and block with the knowledge that your opponents are thinking hard on how to get rid of the creature, and ideally, the artifact itself.
Keranos, God of Storms, is, whether you like it or not, the god for the Izzet guild. Priced at $18.99 (just a dollar away from that of Godsend), this card costs one more than Iroas, and is actually weaker on the offensive side. However, it provides U/R with exactly what it is good at: card advantage, control, and constant pressure. It avoids you from topdecking into perhaps a useless land. If you first draw a land during your turn, you get to draw another card to perhaps dig for the right game-finisher. Additionally, if you reveal probably-useful nonland card, Keranos would be dealing a Lightning Bolt of three damage to a creature or to a player of your choice. God of Storms, indeed!
