I can't wait until the Green/white one of these comes out so I can play Temple of Garden.

This is pretty good considering it's scry in RG. But, RG wants to be on curve every turn, and this just isn't up to snuff. 3/5 for casual and EDH considerations, and for being unique.

This card has so much flavour, it's a little crazy. You see, before Xenagos became a god, the pantheon of the gods only had 14 gods. There was no Red/Green god. Looking at the name and art of this card, it suggests that long ago, there was such a god but it was long forgotten and it faded away. So, at least the way I see it, the gods in Theros can't be killed (Indestructible), but they can be forgotten (Exile). Maybe the RG god was simply forgotten by the people of Theros, and that's why this card's art barely shows a temple at all, and the people around it don't seem to care about it.
Also, the throne in the art is shown in the Born of the Gods trailer, when Xenagos is ascending.

@MrSunso: Not quite true. There is one card in Theros that has "whenever you scry", so that interacts with this. And it's quite likely that the next two sets of the block will have more "whenever you scry" cards.

I'm disappointed with the art. Abandon is defined as "a complete lack of inhibition or restraint," and Satyr Hedonist suggests that the RG presence on Theros is up to some insane stuff. This, on the other hand, is a picture of a large crowd of people milling about, with one man touching a woman's shoulder.
But then again, maybe Wizards decided it was a bad move to print a card depicting a pie-f*cking contest.

I opened this card up in a booster, when I took a closer look I realized those are Satyrs. So I guess one of them just found some abandoned temple ruins and decided "lets party!" and so here they are fooling around. Though I do agree with Balrund's theory that there may have been another god of revels that faded away

Xenagos, God of Abandon. This is the exact name I predict for the Red-Green God. :)

Seriously? Rated less than Rage of Purphoros? This will see play in standard.

Loving the land art, hating the rarity. Duals NEED to be uncommon to get into the hands of newer players.
Maro's answer for rare lands is ***. It's not about replacing a common or uncommon slot and taking power from limited, it's about taking away relevant creature, perhaps the only relevant creature you could draw. Every rare Creature is loads and away better than an uncommon one, regardless the color.

Yes, they will see play in Standard, but we're not going to like it!!
On the other hand, the NEXT standard might be even more mono-colored, so I'm sure these will fetch a decent price one day.
