The thing with Mogis is, he pretty much only works in an aggro deck. If you play Mogis in control, why wouldn't they just choose to take 2 damage every time? If you're control and you can stay alive for ten turns, then just play a Demon or an AEtherling or something, instead of Mogis.

Outside of limited formats, I can't see him being at all powerful. That said, the art is jaw-droppingly awesome. Can't wait to pick up a foil copy - you know it'll be sexy.

Ok, I've only played for 5 months, so please don't get mad at me for saying this but why is he so amazing? either he shocks your opponent, which people do to themselves all the time (see every single shock land) or their playing with a bunch of expendable creatures. is he liked because of his stats? that has to be it. otherwise, he's a Desecration Demon with a threat of 2 power instead of 6, who occasionally deals 7 extra damage. worst god so far.
Hi future person who laughs at this comment

Mogis fanatics, I'm warning you, do not look to your God for guidance against the Golgari. Especially not the Mimeoplasm in commander. Several times in my Mimeoplasm deck to solve a board state I have coordinated with my allies to kill one of my creatures. It's like fighting Sheoldred except the Sheoldred player decided they didn't feel like making me sac a creature when it would hurt me.

I would actually consider this the worst of the 5 gods of this set. "HEY! HEY! HEY! Punisher mechanics are really good!" said no one ever.

I thought Mogis had the minotaur creature type from the second I looked at the card and didn't realize otherwise for a very long time. I feel bad now.

Anybody who says this is bad is either trolling or has no idea what they are saying. While unlikely to kill somebody with the 2 alone each turn, that shock can certainly add up and at the very least prove detrimental to decks running Lifegain. I see him more as a 7/5 indestructible for 4, which is absolutely insane. The fact that he will be doing something even if devotion is below 7 is just an added benefit.Don't get me wrong, if left unchecked, the damage or die effect is very good, especially in limited but potentially in constructed midrange-y decks as well. Playing this at the prerelease, I had a guy at 5 pay down to 3 and then die to Lightning Strike. That's part of what I like so much about this card. Things like Boros Reckoner, Guttersnipe, Cinder Elemental,Stormbreath Dragon and whatnot are big and urgent and demand answers quickly. 2 is small enough that it doesn't seem th... (see all)

When I saw the text of this card, I was so disappointed that he didn't have the Minotaur creature type :(. Then again, if he was a minotaur creature type, ragemonger would make his super cheap.
