Reading the text alongside the art is an immersive experience in world building'. Each god, monster, and race are explained in the context of the overall multiverse of Magic, but specifically within this storyline. With over two hundred pages, the book explains the details about the world of Amonkhet. He also thought it was cool to see The Reward cycle of cards that are in this book, even though they didnвЂ™t make it into the set. My son thought the book did a good job explaining the story line and world-building. It is not just a book of full-color illustrations, but the inspiration and talent behind the art and lore of Amonkhet. Rebecca Angel, for GeekDad, highlighted that Wyatt 'has done an excellent job bringing together all the aspects of one of the newest worlds in Magic. The Art of Magic: The Gathering вЂ“ Amonkhet (2017) by James Wyatt was published by VIZ Media in July 2017.

Afflict: A creature with Afflict will cause an opponent to lose a defined amount of life when the creature becomes blocked in combat, as with Neheb, the Eternal.

Eternalize: Similar to Embalm, paying a creature's Eternalize cost and exiling it from the graveyard creates a black zombie creature token copy of that creature with base power and toughness 4/4, as with Champion of Wits.

Hour of Devastation introduced two additional mechanics: The first half is played as normal, but the Aftermath half can only be cast from a graveyard, such as Dusk and Dawn.

Aftermath: A new split card mechanic present on instants and sorceries.

Embalm: Paying the Embalm cost of a creature and exiling it from the graveyard creates a white Zombie creature token that is an exact copy of that creature, such as Angel of Sanctions.

If a creature is exerted upon attacking or using an activated ability, it provides a bonus but does not untap during its controller's following turn, as seen on Glorybringer.

Exert: A keyword appearing on creatures.
