The Return of Devotion in Amonkhet?


The next upcoming big set in Magic: the Gathering TCG is named Amonkhet and is to be released this April 2017. The previews so far that were found are the packaging of the booster packs and bundle as well as the look of the two Planeswalker decks which feature Gideon and Liliana. Not sure this time if the lady necromancer is still a member of the Avengers err Gatewatch, as usually these decks showcase dueling planeswalkers. Anyhow, another preview are the five Gods of the plane. As the theme is of Egyptian mythology, the gods also resembles that of the actual Egyptian Gods. Here are the preview pics below.

Now pertaining to these God previews, there have been rumors that Devotion will return as one of the mechanic of the set. While it fits the set’s theme, I think it is too early to have that as a returning mechanic since it was two or three years ago that the Theros set featured that.

I am pretty sure Wizards will come up with another set of fresh mechanics that will relate to God theme of the Amonkhet. We shall see in the coming weeks or once the official previews start.
