God/Storyline

This is a list of all gods and deities, or creatures that are worshiped as such, mentioned in the Magic storyline.
==Alara==
*Asha and the Asura ()
*Progenitus (), the hydra-god, along with the Gargantuans
==Amonkhet==
In contrast to the often-distant gods of Theros, the gods of Amonkhet take an active hand in the life of their worshippers and are physically present within the city of Naktamun. They oversee various trials that bring chosen warriors closer to the afterlife and prepare their servants for the tasks that will await them. It is recorded in the Accounting of Hours that when the God-Pharaoh returns, the gods will have to prove their worth to him just like the mortals they tested before.Flavor text of <c>Nimble-Blade Khenra</c> Nissa later discovered that the gods were manifestations of the plane's leylines and whatever Bolas had done to the plane had also altered them in such subtle ways that they were oblivious to it. Their presence alone fills mortals with feelings associated with their domain and they can see directly into the heart of any mortal presented before them. Most of the gods died when Bolas returned and ushered in the Hour of Devastation, leaving only Hazoret to guide the survivors of Naktamun. <c title="Their legacy lived on">Basri's Acolyte</c>, notably with Basri Ket and Oketra.
*Oketra, God of Solidarity ()
*Kefnet, God of Knowledge ()
*Bontu, God of Ambition ()
*Hazoret, God of Zeal ()
*Rhonas, God of Strength ()
Three other gods were imprisoned and warped by Bolas to serve his interests during the Hour of Revelation. The original functions and appearances and even the names of these gods have been lost.
*The Locust God (), who would destroy the Hekma.
*The Scarab God (), who would lead the Eternals.
*The Scorpion God (), who would kill the other gods. Killed during the Hour of Devastation
After the Hour of Devastation, the War of the Spark, and the expulsion of the Phyrexians, two new gods appeared.
*Ketramose ()
*Sab-Sunen ()
====Notes====
*While not technically a god, Nicol Bolas was worshiped as the God-Pharaoh of Amonkhet and pretended to be the creator of the gods and the plane. Even after his charade was discovered, <c title="some kept faith">God-Pharaoh's Faithful</c>, and the Eternals continue to worship him <c title="at the exclusion of the deities they worshipped in life">Honor the God-Pharaoh</c>.
*The five mono-color gods of Amonkhet are each the opposite gender of their corresponding mono-color god of Theros.
*The gods of Amonkhet have golden parts on their bodies, inspired by the fact that the ancient Egyptians believed that the flesh of their gods was made of gold.

The Oltec civilization of Ixalan's Core worship Chimil, the Inner Sun, who is in direct opposition to Aclazotz, the bat god of night, leader of demons and instigator of the curse of vampirism. Their descendants, the Sun Empire, worship the Threefold Sun, an equivalent deity manifested by the different stages of the sun.
*The Threefold Sun:
**Kinjalli ()
**Ixalli ()
**Tilonalli ()
*Okinec Ahau, sovereign of the Malamet, worshiped by his people. 
===The Deep Gods===
Unlike the Threefold Sun and its distant aspects, the Deep Gods are close to the Oltec people and mingle with them, having fought, wept, and loved alongside them. At the top of their hierarchy is Ojer Taq, followed by Ojer Pakpatiq. There are dozens of gods, with five being recognized as progenitor deities. Aside from Aclazotz, all are children of Chimil; when her light is eclipsed, so are the other gods.
*Chimil, the sun at the center of Ixalan's Core. Worshiped by the Oltec and Komon as the Threefold Sun and mother of the Deep Gods:
**Ojer Taq (), god of civilization.
**Ojer Pakpatiq (), god of circular time.
**Aclazotz (), the bat-god of night (who replaced The Ancient One)
**Ojer Axonil (), god of might.
**Ojer Kaslem (), god of life.
**The Ancient One (), was originally one of the Deep Gods of the core, a black-aligned "Ojer" with a forgotten name. He was killed by Aclazotz who usurped his place in the pantheon. The Ancient One has now resurfaced as a spirit god. 
==Kaldheim==
The current ruling family of gods, the Skoti, supplanted the ancient Einir a few centuries ago. The seven surviving Einir Leaders are currently imprisoned in Jaspera Trees,Flavor text of <c>Roots of Wisdom</c> and the power of their descendants the Wood elves and Shadow elves is greatly diminished. 
While there have been multiple "families" of gods, they have all had a cosmic connection to the essence of the World Tree. The elves believe that the Einir used to channel it through their connection with Koma, while the Skoti imbibe a magical "Cosmos Elixir" created by Esika, the god of the World Tree. The Cosmos Elixir also slows their aging and maintains their divine powers. The Skoti are incredibly powerful, but they are also selfish, prone to bickering, and constantly causing trouble in the realms. In addition to being exceptionally strong, fast, or nimble, each god has special powers and abilities connected to its sphere of influence. The gods have strong personalities, and each is involved in a tangled web of relationships with their kin. While each god is individually powerful, their internal conflicts are becoming increasingly problematic for the plane.
Because of the Cosmos Elixir that makes the gods what they are, the gods are immune to the disorienting effects of the Cosmos and can cross between the realms more easily than other races. It's still a challenging journey to simply walk between planes, so they often use magical objects that open an Omenpath or, in rare cases, transport them directly between realms. The Cosmos Elixir still slows down the aging of the gods. The Skoti, unlike other gods of other planes, are born infants, grow and age, and can have child gods among themselves. 
The Einir sealed the demons into Immersturm using powerful magical objects of their design. When the Skoti challenged the Einir's supremacy and defeated them, these relics were lost. The Skoti used runic magic to reseal Immersturm, but they have been less than vigilant about maintaining the safeguards.

==Theros==
Theros has a unique metaphysical property: things believed and dreamed here eventually become true.Wizards RPG Team (2020), D&D Mythic Odysseys of Theros, Wizards of the Coast The collective unconscious of millions of people has the literal power of creation, though the process unfolds over countless centuries. Thus the gods of Theros and their servants were believed, dreamed of, and narrated into existence, materializing and becoming fully real as a result of mortal belief in their power.
Theros' pantheon is perhaps some of Magic's best-defined deities, being unambiguously real.Planeswalker's Guide to Theros part 1 Like some angels and demons, Theros' gods are living enchantments, making the concept of enchantments considered divine blessings by the plane's mortals. They are associated with the paranormal realm known as Nyx, the night sky, which is in turn associated with dreams and the subconscious; there is something of an implication that these gods are powered/come to into being by belief, though this is not explicit. The Theros pantheon is seemingly very large, but there are five main gods aligned with the colors of mana, at least eleven minor gods, and some gods that have been forgotten (like the one who represented love).
The gods strive with each other over the devotion of the mortals. When people fervently pray to a god, observe their rites and sacrifices, and trust in their divine might, a god becomes more powerful. Mortal beings often become unwilling pawns in the contest of the gods. Having a powerful champion is an indication of a god's might. A champion acts as an agent of a god among mortals, and helps increase those people's devotion to that god.
During Phyrexian Invasion of Theros, the power of belief was exploited by the phyrexians. The followers of the gods were compleated, in turn warping their beliefs and making some of the gods phyrexians themselves. The extent to which the pantheon was Phyrexianized is not certain, although it is known that Heliod was compleated and Ephara was not.
