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.

[Stardust]

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.

[F.I.A]

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.

[Volition]

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

[Tyrael]

^ exactly what I was thinking of, redthirst

I'll be constructing a U/W midrange deck either way after BNG drops
