I don't think that makes any sense, and I think the reason for that is completely different definitions of "worship."

Since when does being physical prevent you from being worshipped? Since when is divinity and faith mutually exclusive with a parental figure or a guide?

As Temmet led them closer, Gideon could see the adoration and devotion on the faces of the people around the god—the training children, the older ones supervising the exercise, and the others who appeared to have gathered just to be in the presence of the god.

The gods of Amonkhet are absolutely worshipped.

Was just thinking about your recent post about Avacyn and stumbled onto a thought of: what if some people from amenkhet stumble into theros and try worshiping the a dead god like Bontu or one of the others?

I will admit I have American Gods on the mind but that could be a cool story if/when we go back to theros again.

The interesting thing about the Amonkhet gods is that they are close to the bottom of a list of "most worshipped" divinities. Their role in society was almost closer to that of parents or guides, since supposedly their whole thing was preparing people for the "real" divine world they'd need to reach. Avacyn, on the other hand, was prayed to actively and praying to her had a material effect on the world. So I don't know if Amonkhet refugees could re-create a god on Theros

This all happened cos I wanted to pose people watching in a tree…. But there was like, no people at all? Not even a little bit?

A little bit of wish fulfillment

In one version of the story, Liliana Vess chooses to take a final stand against the dragon that holds her life in his hands and Gideon pays the price, taking on her punishment so she can deal a final blow to Nicol Bolas.

But shift the battlefield slightly, and everything changes.

Eager to see the Scourge of Skalla defeated, Vivien Reid charges into battle more aggressively, her projections tearing a path through Bolas' army until she is close enough to see the woman she'd tried to kill earlier that very day throwing her life away to spite her master.

All Liliana wants is to be free.

All Gideon wants is for everyone to be safe.

Vivien? She just wants a dragon to be very much dead.

Their interests align beautifully and, after assessing the situation, Vivien unleashes all she has in Bolas' direction.

Even a Godlike Elder Dragon might struggle to concentrate on enforcing a contract when pierced by a divine spear, attacked by undead gods and then dealing with a magical rhino slamming directly into his face. The greatwurm that follows only serves as a bigger distraction.

Vivien might have preferred to be the sole cause of Bolas' defeat, of course, but avenging Skalla is more important than the way it is done. Her arms are a blur as a menagerie, the combined fauna of an entire plane, charges forward to buy Liliana as much time as she needs.

And then... It is done. Bontu bites through Bolas' neck alongside the spectral beasts looking for their own pound of flesh, a final distraction that allows Oketra's magic to dive into his chest. As his planeswalker spark leaves his body, the Dragon-God dissolves as though a dream.

All combat stop, Bolas' lazotep army crumbling without any commands to follow. In the sudden silence, Jace Beleren — freshly done helping Ugin deceive everyone — surveys the battlefield until his gaze meets Gideon's, the hieromancer kneeling next to an unconscious Liliana.

The necromancer is alive, but the damage all over her body — letter shaped burns that match her contract — still mean she's in critical condition. As Gideon carefully picks her up, Jace establishes a mind link with him.

"I'll take care of her" he sends through.

And then he's gone.

As they realize the battle is over, people all around start cheering. Some just drop down to their knees. Many planeswalkers just leave altogether.

Jace just takes a deep breath.

His duty now is to help with clean up and to make sure nobody decides to go hunting for his friends.

your input is appreciated, but bear in mind it may be ignored

also, feel free to say which one you think works best for its intended purpose

Historically, it's probably Pir & Toothy, but Rebbec is a close competitor.

Currently, I've been "playtesting" a lot for Ghen, and he's honestly growing on me. I might get the deck in paper once I'm satisfied with it.

I vastly prefer WAR-era Brawl, though, 'cause Krenko Tin Street Kingpin was an absolute blast. Nothing in Commander has quite scratched that itch.

So there are more tumblr mtg players than I anticipated, it turns out. What's everyone's favourite commander?

I'll go first, Juri of the Revue.

(Honourable mention to my meme deck where you have to get a date for Jenson Carthalion, Druid Exile by swiping left or right with his scry ability.)

Worship

Even after all that befell Amonkhet, Gideon never believed that his trust in Oketra was misplaced.

Custom Zombie Warrior mtg token I made for a friend. (It's the one from god eternal oketra) You can also use it as a Zombie Army or Zombie token if you feel so inclined.

I bet one of the two missing amonkhet gods was a minotaur. Humans aside, all the other major species of that plane match to one of their gods, with Oketra getting cats and sphinxes while Bontu gets the crocodile demons.
