This is the first in what I hope to be a recurring feature. I'm going to take an interesting card and re-purpose it into a setting different than its original one. The idea being that Magic's design and flavor allows for enough flexibility that there are cards that can easily be flavor-transplanted into a different setting.
My first subject; Worship.
Worship is a pretty distinctive card in effect and appearance. The possibility of being unkillable if you play your cards right (ha!) is a tempting one, and the viseage of the remarkable Planeswalker Serra has been present since the card's original printing in Urza's Saga. It's even seen some competitive play, having been a powerful build around effect in standard and extended and being the backbone of a fringe Modern deck.
In my mind, this card would have been a juicy reprint for Theros. It's an enchantment about the power of faith; that describes Theros to a T.
Let's imagine for a moment, what Worship would have looked like in Theros block. What would the art description have been like? Something like this I imagine.
Color: White
Location: A temple dedicated to Heliod, the Sun God of Theros
Action: Show the faithful gathered at the foot of a statue of Heliod. They are praying in reverence of him. The statue is glimmering and looks as though it could come to life at any moment.
Focus: The statue of the Sun God.
Mood: Powerful, impressive, imposing.
Are there any cards of old that weren't in Theros that you think should have been?
