Earlier today, Wizards of the Coast partly revealed "Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded" from the forthcoming Magic: The Gathering set Theros Beyond Death. The red god card first introduced in the 2013 Theros set is making a comeback along with the other gods. Now the new Purphoros card has been revealed, and this one has a "Sneak Attack" ability that can help you play a red creature card or artifact creature card from your hand into play without paying its mana cost if you pay 3 mana (with at least one red) to activate its ability. You can even activate it multiple times, and since this god gives other creatures haste, you can attack those creatures right away.
Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded
We've already seen Nylea, Erebos, Klothys, and now we have Purhoros. We expect that there's going to be a white Theros god in this set, which is probably Heliod, but Elspeth Tirel may end up slaying the god in the Theros Beyond storyline, so we'll see if Heliod will actually show up.
Check out the cards officially revealed today:
