Magic: The Gathering – Amonkhet

Description

--- Amonkhet is a Magic: The Gathering expansion block with ancient Egyptian themes, introducing innovative mechanics for strategic gameplay. Key mechanics include: - *Exert* Creatures gain bonuses when attacking or using activated abilities but do not untap on the controller's next turn, as on Glorybringer. - *Embalm* Exile a creature from the graveyard by paying its Embalm cost to create a white Zombie token copy, such as Angel of Sanctions. - *Aftermath* Split instant/sorcery cards where the first half casts normally and the Aftermath half only from the graveyard, like Dusk // Dawn. Amonkhet is a Magic: The Gathering expansion block comprising the sets Amonkhet, released April 28, 2017, and Hour of Devastation, released July 14, 2017. Set on the eponymous plane with an ancient Egyptian theme featuring mummies and embalming, Amonkhet introduces three new mechanics: Exert, which provides bonuses to creatures upon attacking or activating abilities at the cost of not untapping next turn (e.g., Glorybringer); Embalm, allowing players to pay a cost and exile a graveyard creature to generate a white Zombie token copy (e.g., Angel of Sanctions); and Aftermath, a split card mechanic for instants and sorceries where the initial half plays normally and the Aftermath half casts exclusively from the graveyard (e.g., Dusk // Dawn). ---
