First Hour of Devastation Magic: The Gathering Card Leaked?


Magic: The Gathering players are always excited to get the latest scoop about the next set, and although we still have to wait weeks before we get official previews for the 2nd set of the Amonkhet block, Hour of Devastation, we already got a leaked image of what could possibly be the first card spoiled for the set.

The image that was quickly shared around social media sites featured the Nicol Bolas art used to promote the set itself, and the card shares the set's name: Hour of Devastation. The leaked image shows the card in Portuguese text, and in English, it's translated to:

Hour of Devastation (2)BB
All creatures lose indestructible until end of turn.
Destroy all creatures

That's definitely a way better Damnation but we still don't know whether this card is real or fake. Sure, we've seen cards that share the same names with sets before but using the same concept art --the kind that Wizards doesn't usually put on real cards -- just looks sketchy. Plus, the card looks overpowered for the Standard format as well. When was the last time they printed a solid 4-drop mass removal card better than Damnation? This could end up being real but who knows? We'll just have to wait for the official spoilers, which will probably start sometime next month.
