As the day draws near for the release of the War of the Spark set, I am excited to see what the Standard format would like. Each archetype category, whether it is aggro, control or midrange, will surely benefit from these new cards. The one in particular that I will present today is a card option for the Dimir or Grixis deck builds. Here is Enter the God-Eternals.
The card is very flavorful in its effect as the return of the four Amonkhet Gods zombified err eternalized by God Pharaoh Nicol Bolas in the storyline. As per card value, the four damage aren’t that of an impact as it only deals with creatures though given that it can create a 4/4 threat and gains you 4 life are the basis to consider it.
Two to three copies are okay for a Dimir tapped out build, meaning you are leaning more on the spot removal strategy and has little counterspell in the deck. For counter-heavy versions, you can have it on the sideboard for aggro matchups.
Overall, it is a good card in my opinion. It is not impactful but may be relevant in certain situations.
Until the next blog post.
