About Ephara, God of the Polis

Ephara, God of the Polis, Legendary enchantment creature — god, designed by Eric Deschamps first released in May, 2020 in the set Born of the Gods and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 90.43.

Ephara, God of the Polis would be a great addition to a deck focused on creature-heavy strategies, such as a white-blue aggro or tempo deck, as it provides card advantage each upkeep when creatures enter the battlefield. However, in more competitive settings, cards like Teferi, Time Raveler or Jace, the Mind Sculptor may offer more immediate impact and versatility, potentially overshadowing Ephara in terms of playability.

Rules

01/24/20

Counters put on a God remain on it while it’s not a creature, even if they have no effect.

01/24/20

The abilities of Gods function as long as they’re on the battlefield, regardless of whether they’re creatures.

01/24/20

The type-changing ability that can make a God not be a creature functions only on the battlefield. It’s always a creature card in other zones, regardless of your devotion to its color. It’s always a creature spell while it’s on the stack.

01/24/20

When a God enters the battlefield, your devotion to its color (including the mana symbols in the mana cost of the God itself) will determine if a creature entered the battlefield or not for abilities that trigger whenever a creature enters the battlefield.

02/01/14

Ephara’s last ability checks at the beginning of each upkeep whether another creature entered the battlefield under your control last turn. If one did, it will trigger; otherwise, it won’t. The ability will trigger only once no matter how many creatures entered the battlefield under your control that turn, as long as at least one did.

02/01/14

If a noncreature permanent you control (such as an Aura with bestow) becomes a creature, it will not cause Ephara’s last ability to trigger the following turn. This is true even if that noncreature permanent became a creature the same turn it entered the battlefield.

09/15/13

Hybrid mana symbols, monocolored hybrid mana symbols, and Phyrexian mana symbols do count toward your devotion to their color(s).

09/15/13

Numeric mana symbols (, , and so on) in mana costs of permanents you control don’t count toward your devotion to any color.
