Description

--- **Amonkhet** MTG expansion block on Egyptian-themed plane with mummies and embalming; sets released April/July 2017, Hour adding Eternalize and Afflict. (18 words) Key mechanics include: - *Embalming*: Core concept tied to mummies on Amonkhet plane. - *Eternalize*: Exile creature from graveyard at cost to create 4/4 black zombie token copy (e.g., Champion of Wits). - *Afflict*: When creature with Afflict is blocked, opponent loses defined life amount (e.g., Neheb, the Eternal). Amonkhet is a Magic: The Gathering expansion block comprising two sets: Amonkhet (released April 28, 2017) and Hour of Devastation (released July 14, 2017). Set on the eponymous plane with an ancient Egyptian theme, it incorporates mummies and the embalming mechanic. Hour of Devastation expands with Eternalize, which mirrors Embalm by allowing players to pay a creature's Eternalize cost, exile it from the graveyard, and generate a black zombie 4/4 token copy retaining original abilities (exemplified by Champion of Wits), and Afflict, where a creature causes the blocking opponent to lose a specified amount of life upon being blocked in combat (as seen with Neheb, the Eternal). ---
