HELL YEAH! SPOILER SEASON! With all mythics now revealed and the theme of the set shaping up, there has been nonstop tweeting gearing up toward prerelease. As with all spoiler seasons, only time will tell if our first reactions to our new toys will be correct. The new Gods garnered many comments, but there were two who definitely received the bulk of feedback:
Athreos where have you been all my unlife? #mtg Build around much? pic.twitter.com/BwMwxUhNzx

Wow really, Athreos presage at $25+? I hate this game.
— Cory Jude (@CoryJude) April 15, 2014
Can I just auto Yes all Athreos triggers on MTGO, I am guessing if I am in an edh game with Athreos I will want a quick painful death
— theamazingchris (@ChristianRenoe) April 15, 2014
omg Athreos has pretty sickening ability
— Mike Grote (@MTGOFerret) April 14, 2014
Do Pharika and Athreos both being 3 mana make Junk Reanimator an actual viable deck now? So much synergy.

@TheBoozeCube Yeah, Athreos, Voice, Pharika, Sin Collecgor, Aristocrat and a maw of the obzedat seem like a hell of a combo

Spent some downtime this morning jotting down ideas for Pharika/Vraska midrange. Spoilers always make me want to build EVERY DECK #MTGJOU

Was so disappointed with Pharika I almost forgot to check the rest of the spoilers #mtgjou
— James Knopp (@JamesKnopp) April 14, 2014
I wonder how many people are missing the fact that Pharika gives Snake tokens to the removed creature's OWNER #MTGJOU #mtg

With the Gods spoiled, people had a much better sense of the direction #MTGJOU is headed as we wrap up our time in Theros:
They should rename the tagline to the set as 'Attack of the sideboards'. All of these cards are literally sb cards with P/T #MTGJOU

So this set is basically trying to make Zur Prison a thing on its own, huh? Storm hoser, burn hoser... #MTGJOU

Looking at #MTGJOU set, my Jund might become Naya...

art in #mtgjou is fucking beautiful.

Journey into Nyx is looking to be an amazing last set. WotC needed this after Dragon's Maze. I'm stoked for it's release.

There were some random favorites from the set:
Love the flavor text of Daring Thief! "Honesty is the first casualty of war." #mtgjou #vorthos
— Martin Z (@wortwelt) April 15, 2014
Super excited about this. #MTGJOU pic.twitter.com/1pGO8zbGL1”
— Bill French (@Bill_R_French) April 14, 2014
But the crown jewel of Journey into Nyx can only be awarded to one card. It wasn’t even close:
How can supposed play red if my opponent can drop a blocker on turn two that gains them life? #MTGJOU #absolutebullshit pic.twitter.com/t2kJ77HZdA
— MagicIsRuinedForever (@ROONED4EVAR) April 14, 2014
#MTGJOU Star-Woolen Sheep with Godsend and Sunbond makes me giggle with glee.
— Steve Field (@edgarmash79) April 14, 2014
#MTG #MTGJOU Star-Wollen sheep 0/5 Unc. gain 1 life at the beginning of your upkeep - Not BAAADDDD !! pic.twitter.com/ODxodQT9I9
— Bob Barrie (@CopySix) April 14, 2014
My favorite new card is the 0/5 sheep that just owns RDW. #mtg #magicthegathering #MTGJOU

@BasicMountain I'm not sure you can play red decks any more with this bad boy running around: http://t.co/MpAL9KFSxV

How many Ajani fans in the house tonight? :) #MTGJOU
