Battle of the Gods - MTG Bracket

It is March, my dudes. Discard me and cast me from exile, because I am feeling the madness! The madness for yet another Magic bracket, that is.

This will be a clash amongst the 38 named gods (sorry, Mistform Ultimus and changelings) with cards, representing five planes. That means we'll start with six play-in matchups and continue on from 32 to the one we'll crown Tumblr's Favorite God!

I'll be using #mtggods as the tag, for your following or filtering pleasure.

The current bracket follows, and some initial notes under the cut. May the best god win!

Notes on selection:

I did attempt some seeding, but a popularity contest is inherently hard to seed for. It's not like I could look at their regular season record, recent results, etc.

Similarly, the pairings are random-ish. I didn't want to limit things too much by forcing or avoiding same color, plane, etc.

Are the Hour of Devastation gods really named gods? Yes. Next question.

I excluded the D&D gods. Nothing against them, but there are 5, and it would've thrown the numbers off.

@nicol--bolas I'm so sorry, I didn't think until way too late to include god-pharaohs, and I guess that way I could've fit the D&D gods in too. My life is full of regrets.

Pharika vs. Kruphix

Battle of the Gods: Elite Eight

One of two survivors from the qualifying rounds, Pharika is proving that Tumblr loves a Golgari snaky girlboss. Myself included, but my heart is as full of love for Kruphix as my mana pool is full of colorless mana when I'm with him.

Nylea vs. Oketra

Battle of the Gods: Round 2

An archers' showdown--you know, like ny(le)a? (No, that's nothing.)

Kruphix vs. Hazoret

Battle of the Gods: Final

What more can I say about these two? I think they're each excellent representatives of that unique Tumblr flavor in their own way. We're all winners here! (But, well, only one of these two is.)

Hazoret vs. Athreos

Battle of the Gods: Final Four

Hazoret has a knack for survival, and she's on a roll. I like Athreos, but I've been surprised at how far he's gotten. Hey, anything can happen here!

Erebos vs. Kruphix

Battle of the Gods: Final Four

Two Theros heavyweights meet. You could almost call this... Beyond vs. Death? Eh? Eh?

Hazoret vs. Oketra

Battle of the Gods: Elite Eight

This is a big one! Both of these two have notched two big wins, but only one will make it to the Final Four.

Battle of the Gods: Round 2

Egon Spengler busted ghosts. Will this Egon bust birds?

Valki vs. Athreos

Battle of the Gods: Round 1

Pay no attention to the man behind the card!

Nylea vs. The Scorpion God

Battle of the Gods: Qualifying Round

Nylea is serving hunt, but The Scorpion God is very big game.

Kruphix vs. Karametra

Battle of the Gods: Round 2

Neither of these gods will be pinched today! Kruphix had a more comfortable win in the last round, but if Karametra can beat Klothys's powerful thighs, what can stop her?

Rhonas vs. Athreos

Reblog for a bigger sample size :) (aka I don't have any clever observations about these two)
