# Athreos, Shroud-Veiled
- **Mana Cost:** `{4}{W}{B}` (CMC: 6)
- **Type:** Legendary Enchantment Creature — God
- **Keywords:** Indestructible

## Oracle Text
Indestructible
As long as your devotion to white and black is less than seven, Athreos isn't a creature.
At the beginning of your end step, put a coin counter on another target creature.
Whenever a creature with a coin counter on it dies or is put into exile, return that card to the battlefield under your control.

## Official Rulings
- *(2020-01-24)* If an effect exiles a creature with a coin counter on it and immediately returns it to the battlefield, Athreos's last ability triggers but will have no effect. If an effect exiles a creature with a coin counter on it and would return it to the battlefield at a later time, Athreos's last ability will return that card to the battlefield and it won't be returned later.
- *(2020-01-24)* Colorless and generic mana symbols ({C}, {0}, {1}, {2}, {X}, and so on) in mana costs of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.
- *(2020-01-24)* If a creature with a coin counter on it is put into a graveyard or exile but leaves that zone before Athreos's last ability resolves, that card stays in its new zone, even if that zone is also a graveyard or exile. You don't return it to the battlefield.
- *(2020-01-24)* If an effect causes a God to lose all abilities, its ability that causes it to stop being a creature still applies if appropriate.
- *(2020-01-24)* Counters put on a God remain on it while it's not a creature, even if they have no effect.
- *(2020-01-24)* If Athreos somehow gets a coin counter on itself, its last ability will return it when it dies or is exiled.
