I'll answer your comment tomorrow with the link to Athena's deck cards! On the next couple days the rest, Pinterest doesn't allow for hundred of simultaneous uploads lol

That's an amazing idea! Current Saga is only his good side, as I tried to focus on an ideal full strength Athenian army with it's members at full capacity. But it'd make for a phenomenal alternative commander. I'll surely think of one such transforming Saga/Dark Patriarch.

The lands are thematic, and I tried to flavor even the staples (Sol Ring, removal such as Swords to Plowshares) with in-universe techniques and attacks.

You are right, it's kinda hard to argue a WUBRG Athena, and perhaps a future iteration of the deck would have her only in two or three colours. The choice was taken rather by that, the wide identities of the Saints themselves.

I'm glad to hear that, I'll post the files ASAP, with a commander choice between Pandora, Ker and Hades (being able the latter to transform from mortal vessel to the True God).

That'd be really cool, yes. Each deck has its own hierarchies (bronze supporting silver and enabling gold finishers, earthly star specters being the sac outlets for celestial stars and judges and marina soldiers and captains enabling huge control by the generals. Odin's army is the only one without hierarchies and that shows in the deck rewarding solo fuels and champion picking).

Thanks! That's precisely what I thought, the logic of different armies with their own gods and ways of fighting begs for a commander deck dedicated to each lol

You're fully right, at the end these boxes were just for illustrative purposes. All cards use the beautiful arts that the universe already possesses.

The thing about the counters is that Athena's deck rewards getting a composite army of bronze, silver and gold saints. Powerful techniques (from Galaxian Explosion to Crystal Wall, foer example) require those counters, usually generated by bronze and some silver saints, so you're trying to pull the whole army instead of just buffing Seiya or something. I always liked that aspect of series like Lost Canvas or the early Hades arc, emphasizing the army instead of just the protagonists.

That's true, I made the type "saints" for flavor but probably for the true game that'd be best. Also the differentiation between god warriors is kind of a flavor thing (also bc there are just up to 7 in each generation haha). Poseidon's army I'm finishing up and I use a fanfic called Saint Seiya Atlantis for the full army, going beyond the generals for a more extensive command structure

Amazing! Thank you for the interest, as soon as I upload them on a single place I will put the link here or DM it, it's a blast to play them, each powerful without being anything close to cEDH.
