MTG > Sets > Hour of Devastation Tokens

Hour of Devastation is a pivotal set in the Magic: the Gathering universe, set on the desert plane of Amonkhet, where the aftermath of a cataclysmic event unfolds. The narrative centers around the god-like figure of Nicol Bolas, who unleashes his devastating power to reshape the world and eliminate those who oppose him. This set introduces mechanics such as Afflict, which punishes opponents for blocking by dealing damage even if their creatures are sacrificed, and Eternalize, allowing players to return powerful creatures from their graveyard as 4/4 zombie tokens. The tokens themselves represent the legions of the undead that rise from the ashes of destruction, embodying the themes of loss and rebirth that permeate the lore, as Amonkhet's inhabitants grapple with the consequences of their once-revered trials.
