Mark Rosewater Reveals What The Extra 15 Hour of Devastation Cards Are

The next Magic: The Gathering set, Hour of Devastation, is scheduled to launch next month, and the official previews will most likely begin this month. Today, Wizards of the Coast shared a new story titled The Hour of Revelation, and apparently the mystery of the 15 extra cards that appeared on the set's product page is making us wonder what they could be. A fan asked designer Mark Rosewater on his Blogatog tumblr page, and Rosewater answered:

"I believe those are just basic lands. For reasons to be explained soon, the set needed new basic land illustrations."

Yep, Hour of Devastation will have new basic land illustrations and they will most likely feature the devastation that Bolas will cause in the plane of Amonkhet. What do you think?
