Iroas, God of Victory

Iroas, God of Victory was originally released in the 2014 Magic: The Gathering expansion Born of the Gods. Designed by the Wizards of the Coast development team, the card was intended to represent the Theros plane's deity of honorable combat. It featured the distinct enchantment creature subtype, reflecting the thematic intersection of Greek mythology and divine intervention that defined the set's creative direction.

The specific version appearing in The List—a curated selection of reprints inserted into later booster packs—maintains the original illustration by Slawomir Maniak. Maniak, a frequent contributor to the game, employed a dramatic, dynamic aesthetic to capture the god’s martial essence. Upon its introduction, the card was widely received as a cornerstone for aggressive white-red deck strategies, prized for its ability to grant both menace and damage reduction to the player's creatures.
