EDH Zur, The enchanter can tutor this, that's just neato.

Ephara, God of the Polis anyone, Daxos, Nightveil Specter and Medomai all work well in this deck, as well as possibly Vassal Soul and a little control

There's one thing I don't understand about this cycle. Why does Thassa cost 3 while the other four cost 4? If anything, Think Tank costed 3 while Primal Rage and Serra's Blessing costed 2. You'd only think Nylea's abilities are as good as Thassa's if you assumed every game to be Nyxthos mirror with mana going into the double digits, and we're not even taking into account that Thassa costs one less. While Thassa is slightly smaller than the rest of the major gods, since gods are indestructible and usually used as finishers, this difference in size (small to begin with) rarely matters.
I think she would have been perfect at 4. I don't know why they felt the need to deviate. (And guess which god out of the five has been the centerpiece of a top-tier deck?)

"Heliod is a good Apollo. The god who literally makes the sun shine? And it shows in his personality? Even down to using the spear, he screams "Apollo"".
Greek mythology has more fitting preimages for at least 2 Theros gods. Down to the names:

Dear god Thassa, Why do you have to be so awesome?
She's good in the following: Simic, Ninjitsu, Mono blue agro, A deck with blue in it
Also: Anyone else wondering why Thassa is the only god without clothing? Seriously!? Why is the goddess of the sea naked!?

Why does Thassa not have clothes?? Maybe that's why she's only three mana.....

This card is ridiculous. When it's active, it one-shots most planeswalkers. It softens your draws. It applies pressure even when it's not a creature because you can force in other creatures. It plays very well with the Evolve mechanic. It 's seeing a little play in Legacy Merfolk because it A) pitches to Force of Will, B) gets turned on by lords extremely easily, and C) comes down out of an Æther Vial with only 3 counters on it.
Outside of competitive formats it gets turned on by Invoke Prejudice. It is fetchable with either Zur, The Enchanter or Enlightened Tutor. It's recursible with Sun Titan. It curves into Annex and Control Magic. Overall a fantastic card.

Easily the curviest god under the curve.

To anyone wondering, a better question: Why WOULD the god(dess) of the sea have clothes? Most sea-dwellers are most happy stark naked (minus the scaly parts). This is Magic, not Disney, and thus means Cool is Cool and Sexy is Sexy.
Combos with Ninjas for epicness. Can further team her with Godhead of Awe to keep receiving damage low, while making Ninjutsu bounce all over, with two nice goddesses ruling it all!
