Rationale

4cmc legendary god enchantment creature with transform mechanic. The front-side Heliod, the Radiant Dawn and back-side Heliod, the Warped Eclipse lack specified oracle text, so typed as generic god-matters card. Signature in control/midrange shells that can leverage the transform mechanic and god tribal synergies. Requires enchantment density and aura density to maximize potential in constructed formats.
