Expect centaurs, sphinxes, chimeras, nymphs, sirens, muses and titans. I'm also working on a counterpart in B/R, which will be the Tartarus half of the pair. The top-down design of the deck means that Sigil of the Empty Throne is not in there, for example, because it's more of a Judeo-Christian win con than a Greek mythology one, even though it would be bonkers.

Now Archetype of Imagination is a 6/6! It makes most Gods smaller though, so do be careful when you cast it. Know when to Capsize or Nature's Claim it. In response to a wrath, for example.

The few tutors in the deck are face-up and several Enchantress auto-includes are absent because they clash with the theme.
