Legendary Enchantment Creture — God 2UW Mythic Rare
Indestructible
As long as your devotion to white and blue is less than seven, Ephara isn't a creature.
At the beginning of each upkeep, if you had another creature enter the battlefield under your control last turn, draw a card.

Commander material. Standard play...
Maybe Bant could use it, but it is just to slow for the investment.

Good with
Verdant Force...
Not sure this is really all that good in EDH even. I feel like I'd rather have
Concentrate in most cases rather than wait 4 turns to draw the same 3 cards.
Probably at it's best in Bant. Prophet of Kruphix, Derevi, that kind of thing is what's needed to make this really good.

Apparently these lesser gods will only have one ability as opposed to two like those 5 gods from before.
She seems fine in EDH, but I have yet to see her application outside of that.
Most probably Scroll of Ephara if she's going to have a god artifact.

Looks very unexciting, tempo builds already have access to Bident. Doesn't really bother me, UW has enough tools. Plus, I like the card for some reason, maybe just aesthetically.

It does look aesthetically pleasing. But the card draw is unlikely, because if this is played on the 4th turn, having 7 devotion seems unlikely, if not impossible (ok, soldier, then 2x precinct captains on turns 2 and 3 works), but then you dont actually start drawing cards until turn 6? it says "another creature" so that seems a large two turn investment for 1 card... maybe just play inspiration? And the 6/5 body really doesnt deal with what agro decks struggle with - board wipes.

Ephara's interaction with The Lion King is pretty sweet.
T3- Play King
T4- Play Ephara; swing King, get kitty
t4.5- Draw from Ephara; maybe get to block, get kitty

^ exactly what I was thinking of, redthirst
I'll be constructing a U/W midrange deck either way after BNG drops
