Set overview
A destination page, not just a listing grid.
Hour of Devastation, released in August 2017, concluded the Amonkhet block as a small set of 209 cards. The set depicted the plane's apocalyptic conclusion following Nicol Bolas's full emergence, marking a significant narrative turning point in Magic's storyline. The set introduced mechanics that emphasized destruction and finality, including the return of cycling and the new mechanic aftermath, which allowed instant and sorcery cards to function from the graveyard after being cast. From a competitive standpoint, Hour of Devastation provided crucial tools for Standard constructed formats, though its impact proved more limited than its predecessor. The set's design reflected a shift toward higher complexity and graveyard interaction, influencing deck construction strategies of the era. Notable cards saw play across multiple formats, though the set's overall power level remained moderate compared to contemporary releases. Collectors value Hour of Devastation primarily for its narrative significance and mechanical innovations rather than exceptional card values.
A great Magic catalog page needs to explain finish splits, print treatments, and why the set still matters across formats.
