White Intervention: I expected nothing and was still disappointed. The first mode isn't THAT bad, sure, on that ratio it's kinda like a slightly better Crush Contraband which is... uh, not exactly a high bar to pass, but the second mode is atrocious. I was expecting Secure the Wastes and that second mode for XW at Sorcery, which would be boring af but at least Standard playable, but 4 mana to gain 4 life? Couldn't they even add in a "draw a card" to that second effect? It would still be worse than Revitalize - a freaking Common, mind you - but at least you could "cycle" it for WW if there's nothing to blow up, making it potentially maindeck playable.
Heliod's Punishment: Really cool effect, cool art, nice flavor. Art seems like a throwback to Weight of the Underworld, even down to the yellow aura surrounding the black sphere. Not sure if it's good enough for Constructed though, the fact it removes all abilities is very nice but unless you're an aggressive deck, it's likely your opponent is getting his creature back before the game ends, but I still think it's overall better than Pacifism. Oh, and if you want to get cute with it, we do have Proliferate.
While I am on the same page with your opinion I have to point out that you would get 8 life from 4 mana but yeah that mode will be very situational and is mostly garbage.
I don't get it. Why is there no life gain matter card (excluding Heliod) in the set? About half of the card have some kind of life gain effect in white.
Edit: Hold on I am wrong is 2WW X and you were tasking about the overall cost so it is 4 mana for 4 Life. I am not sure if the first mode is better than Crush Contraband. At least the cards will be removed for good. No Dance of the Manse or Emry, Lurker of the Loch shenanigans and better for commander.
I think he is killed but in Theros. Heliod seems to be in the underworld where he is punished (maybe because of a deal with Erebos) but later released or he can free himself after some time. I believe to remember that Xenagos had to be killed in Nyx to be really dead. He has some chains going on, like the new Polukranos and we saw Elspeth stabbing him in the background of her Planeswalker card.
Well there is the the white Intervention. I feel indifferent about it. I mean the first mode is decent? Instant enchantment or artifact removal is good.
The Aura has some unexpected come outs. So Heliod is killed in Theros and can return?
