Gods of the Multiverse | Magic's Pantheon Explained 

What is this gods name and what are they the god of.

@michaeltaylor788 It is the Gruul God Anzrag, God of harvests, also referred to as "The Rampaging Mole". It appears in chapter 7 of the story and has an art of it, so there is a 99% chance the card will be spoiled soon.

Thank you so much and welcome to the channel, glad you found it!

Because no one really understands what the eff they are.

unfortunately it seems to be the case that they created the Domini of New Phyrexia then just did nothing with them

Phenax was also not a God at first, but obtained later. Even getting recognized by the other Gods of Theros as someone to keep, when Xanagos wasn't and deemed a threat.

That's a great suggestion and definitely a topic worth exploring

@@TheLorebrarians Thanks! Would be a pleasure to watch your take on it. Keep up the nice work ❤

Appreciate it. Magic was the IP that first got me into content creation and its Multiverse of lore remains one of my most cherished

I’ve been doing the exact same love this guys work

Glad you enjoyed!

Appreciate it!

Hope you enjoyed

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Appreciate it!

I also salute your denial of the false God-Pharaoh Bolas as well your complete omission of the self-crowned God, whose claim of dominion over the perpetual pursuit of perfection proved nothing but the path of putrid prejudice, pernicious predation, and perversion of progress that once promised to proliferate the pox of polished profanity, itself perceived to be "perfection" by all it doomed, from pituful puppet to the prideful Praetors numbering the ranks comprising that accursed scourge, that mutilated mockery made by the malignant melding of the mortal and mechanical thru means of magic most malevolent, the unconscionable horror designed and obsessively crafted by Lord of The Wastes and The Father of Machines, Yawgmoth HIMSELF, the abomination that nearly enslaved and slaughtered every corner of the Multiverse, known as the dread Phyrexia.

If only I had the inside scoop

The Lorwyn deities are mentioned in the final section, but they do not have the "God" type, nor do Phyrexias but definitely could have included a bit about Elesh Norn and her religion

@@TheLorebrarians designers of previous sets specifically avoided printing gods as a god card and wanted to explore what that could entail, so the ur-dragon could technically be considered a god. Or the aspects of life from lorwyn; vigor, guile, purity, dread and hostility along with horde of notions could be considered terrestrial gods like the deities. It’s personal perspective.

I excluded all gods that aren't technically within the MTG IP/Multiverse, so no D&D or Lord of the Rings. Apologies, but still hope you enjoyed!

Very unfortunate. And a mole God no less

I think that's what makes them enjoyable. I don't want my gods to be infallible. The lore "human" they are, the better they are IMO. I hope when we return to Theros we see the gods have maybe restructured a little bit and possibly have new portfolios, new colours attached to their name, and new ideologies they represent and uphold

The head of the group is often in it for the group's praise, respect, and loyalty. They want what's best for the group as part and leader of said group. Heliod isn't Black, he's just the worst of White. Black doesn't care what others think.

Take into account though that card for Heliod doesnt necessarily represent the character, but the projected image thats worshipped. The card is a reflection of why people believed in him enough to make him a god, not who he is.

He would be like the equivalent of Zeus. He was not a good dude.

I feel like white can be very appropriate for a self serving God (aristocrats is a black/white archetype, after all). White is more than just the collective, it's the collective united towards a *common goal.* And usually it is JUSTICE or DEMOCRACY, but easily could also be the God that represents them. When has justice wept for the lives sacrificed to uphold it? It seems justice even *demands* that it is better for "lowly commoners" to die defending it than to spare them and let it die. Black is self-serving, but also intelligent, it knows it's low and so uses low means to get out on top. But White? That's where those are who already believe in their supremacy, that's where the fascists are.

Definitely a missed opportunity to add to the Multiverse Pantheon

Agreed :P

Ilharg is discussed and Nephilim, though not "God" type are mentioned. Unfortunately, this video was produced before Anzrag was spoiled in the newest set
