And then Xenagos was dead.
And absolutely no one was surprised.
(For context, see my comment on Xenagos, God of Revels)

Probably the single best answer to an opponent casting a God. This will definitely see sideboard use in Standard for a while.

This is one of those cards that is almost 100% flavor. And the rest of it is trinket text. Wizards heard us complain that RTR block's climax wasn't even remotely represented on a card, so Theros's is right here.

Gods don't die, they merely slumber. In this case, Xenagod is slumber-partying somewhere very far away.

@Syrtees: So you're running a single Revoke in a 60 card deck. The chances of you drawing it before Master of Waves goes off aren't great. The chances of you drawing it *AT ALL* aren't great, less than 10%. And if you run more? Then suddenly every other copy becomes a dead card, BECAUSE SHE'S THE ONLY ENCHANTMENT IN THE DECK.
The idea that this "takes out several cards" is nonsense. If you remove a card from my deck, that is just a card that I won't draw. Half my deck is cards that I won't draw. You've done nothing that the 3 other Thassa's being 20 cards down in my deck won't already have done. Hell, if I have a Thassa on board and I scry to a new one, I myself will bottom deck it, because it's a dead card.
Mono-Blue Devotion is not a combo deck. Thassa's a useful tool, but the deck has other answers.

People are saying this is worse than Revoke Existence, but the thing they are failing to see is that this is an Instant where Revoke Existence is a sorcery.
Sure, this doesn't hit artifacts, but ask yourself this question: How many people do you really see playing artifacts in Standard? Modern and Legacy are a different case, but at least in Standard, I think this card is much better than Revoke.

Spoiler alert!
Elspeth kills Xenagos!
Snape kills Dumbledore!
Bolas kills Nissa, and no one notices!
For you anime fans, Ayumu Kasuga kills Mihama Chiyo (in a dream, but it totally counts)!
Anyway. Theros block had a good run, but it's over now, I guess. Thanks, Elspeth.

With the amount of enchantments in the Theros Block, removing an enchantment is a neato. Exiling an enchantment? Even better. This card still rocks the set even if you don't target a God with it.
