The set features three new card abilities: Eternalize, Aftermath and Afflict.

Eternalize

Aftermath
When this card is in the graveyard, Activate X, where X is the number listed next to the Aftermath keyword on the back side of the card. When you match the gem, the ability listed on the back side of the card will trigger.

Afflict
When this creature is blocked, your opponent also takes damage equal to this creature's Power.

New Planeswalkers

Hour of Devastation offers a brand new selection of special offers, such as new Planeswalkers, exclusive cards and new offers for Mana Crystals. In the first week of the Hour of Devastation release, be ready to welcome Elspeth, Sun's Champion. Check in every week for new limited-time offers!

Elspeth, Sun's Champion
A Planeswalker and skilled knight, Elspeth wants nothing more than to sheathe her sword for the last time and find a plane to call home. Violence and destruction have a tendency to follow her, and she is constantly driven to take up arms and wield her defensive magic in the service of those that need her protection.

Elspeth is a white Planeswalker with abilities optimized for the Hour of Devastation set:

Summon Sun-Soldier: Summons 1 (up to 4 at rank 4) 1/1 Soldier token with “Exert 6: The first creature your opponent controls is Destroyed”.
Bathe in the Sun: Activate 2: Each of your creatures gains +1/+1 (up to +4/+4 at rank 4).
Solar Power: 1 (up to 4 at rank 4) of your Activated gems is Destroyed and triggered.

At max level, Elspeth has 114 health.

With max level mana gains of +7 White, +3 Blue, and +3 Green Elspeth is a force to be reckoned with! But great power comes at a great price, Elspeth has max level mana gains of -2 for Red and Black.

As for her deck restrictions, she starts at 3 creatures, 4 spells and 3 supports at level 1 and ends with 6/6/5 at level 60.

New Hour of Devastation Events

The Return of the God-Pharaoh - Coalition PvE Event (9 encounters)

Face creatures from across the plane of Amonkhet. The more victories you earn and the more secondary objectives you complete, the more damage you deal to the Event's Boss - but be quick!

Players from across the plane are also battling to bring down the Boss. Players and Coalitions are ranked by the total damage dealt during the time of the event. Reach the top brackets before the event ends and earn the best rewards. The event ends when the boss's health reaches 0%.

The first run of this event will be on Friday, July 28th.

Only members of a coalition can join this event.
You can create a deck with cards only from Origins, Kaladesh, Aether Revolt, Amonkhet and Hour of Devastation in this event.

Hour of Devastation - PvP Event
With Naktamun in the throes of destruction, one Hour remains. It was not spoken of in The Accounting of Hours, for it was not meant for the people of Amonkhet. Nicol Bolas calls on the planeswalkers of the Gatewatch—Liliana Vess, Jace Beleren, Chandra Nalaar, Gideon Jura, and Nissa Revane—to face him.

They answer his challenge, and an epic battle ensues. Nicol Bolas defeats the heroes one by one, pushing them to their breaking points and forcing them to planeswalk away. Nicol Bolas’s victory is complete.

Keep an eye out for this event in the upcoming month, so you can join the fight and battle for victory!

Fascinating--the ability to print past planeswalkers (Elspeth being from Theros) is pretty huge news.

majincob · July 2017

Event Decks: You can now create a deck or transfer an existing deck into the Event Deck slot for the duration of an Event.

How is this different from current implementation?

Purchasing an Amonkhet set can result in soft lock and the user not receiving the cards.

Is this the "disappearing" pack bug? Is it fixed for packs already in the vault (not purchased) and packs that aren't AKH?

We have plenty of white walkers. We need a B/G!

So, my colleague zw2007 pointed out that this potentially means we aren't getting Nicol Bolas. Consider there are only two planeswalkers in the set -- Samut and Bolas, and they obviously weren't going to release only one pw when there's money to be made. However, while G/B is desired, we also know it's coming with Vraska in Ixalan, so they probably didn't want to create her and then V2 immediately thereafter.

While I like Elspeth, and her White Koth design is intriguing, I do wish we could have filled out with a non-mono pw.

Event Decks
To my knowledge, prior to this change, you would have to create a new event deck for every match. Now the event deck will persist when you progress, and you won't need to make a new one each time.

Bug Fix
Yes. That is referencing the "disappearing" pack bug, and applies to all sets, not just AKH.

Sirchombli · July 2017

I like elspeth. She's one of my favorite characters. I'm happy she's coming to the game. My only issue? She's dead. Zombie elspeth, inbound!

Never heard of that, brigby! Sounds exactly like how it already is implemented. Or will the decks stay for following events of the same name?

Best news here:
The reign of the red dot of terror is finally over!

madwren · July 2017

In some events, like Fateful Showdown, you have to continually select a deck on each level rather than simply having one persist. Perhaps that's what he means?

Brakkis · July 2017

The game freezes when the user destroys an enemy support tile during the Story Mode: Heroic Jace mission.

This is being applied to all of the Heroic Encounters and not just Jace right? Because it certainly happens on all of the ones with pre-generated supports.

I agree that this is the most likely reason not to give us a B/G now. However, I would've preferred something a little more "fun" than Elspeth.

It'll be back. It always comes back.

Will this be like Amonkhet where all the cards aren't revealed until a later date?

BUgsySA · July 2017

will the Amonkhet aftermath cards be added in as well as the Hour cards, or is it just hour?

Mburn7 · July 2017

Is it just me or is this new walker stupidly powerful? I know the almost-Koth (more like OG Koth)mana gains limits use a little, but holy **** those abilities. The AI is gonna abuse the first ability like crazy (ever notice that AI always seems to get activate gems every turn as they spawn?).
Also, Afflict is horrifying. In the paper set its usually 1 less than the creature's base power (static value). Here, you get an auto-win because that 30/30 you have out (looking at you Nahiri) will deal damage no matter what.
On an uplifting note, I love this paper set and can't wait to see the cards that get pulled in (Overwhelming Splendor anyone?)

bk1234 · July 2017

No new events?

What about timer changes on ToZ?

Brigby · July 2017

@Corn Noodles Yes. The cards will be revealed in waves. The first reveal will showcase over 100 cards though!

@bken1234 I currently don't have any information available, regarding any changes to ToZ, however we will have more information pertaining to the new HOU events when the release goes live.

ElfNeedsFood · July 2017

@Brigby - Are reward packs going to have the new cards right away or are you going to do the "limited time only" increased chance / there are really two different sets of cards thing like you did with the AKH additions?
