The truth is, Magic: The Gathering cards have many other patterns and clues that can help
This card is good, not super broken good
It might be eclipsed in popularity by a few cards too, but this is indeed one of the most powerful EDH cards in the set
Champions of Kamigawa seemed to genuinely attempt a god card cycle with the Myojin, but the results can at best be described as a rough draft. Nigh-impossible mana costs and divinity counters still didnt feel like enough to set them apart from ordinary creatures although conditional indestructibility turned out to be a good start
Pongify , Rapid Hybridization , and Path to Exile eliminate creatures for a single mana
Zone-change triggered abilities that care about the new color (like "when a [color] permanent enters" or "when you cast a [color] spell") will work because those effects apply after the card is already in its new zone
