Bontu the Glorified

Description

Bontu the Glorified is a foil mythic rare Legendary Creature — God from the 2017 Amonkhet Promos set, carrying the catalog number 82s. Designed by Chase Stone, this card represents one of the five divine beings central to the Amonkhet block's narrative. As a God card, it possesses unique mechanics that define its role on the battlefield, making it a distinct piece of Magic: The Gathering history for collectors who appreciate the game's complex lore. In gameplay, Bontu the Glorified enters the field as a 3-mana creature with a power and toughness of 4/6. Its design emphasizes resilience and aggression through the keywords Menace and Indestructible. These traits are balanced by a strict condition: the card cannot attack or block unless a creature died under your control during that turn. This mechanic forces players to manage their resources carefully, sacrificing creatures to unleash the God's full potential. The card's activated ability allows you to sacrifice another creature to scry one and cause each opponent to lose 1 life while you gain 1 life. This black-aligned effect makes Bontu a formidable presence in decks focused on attrition and life total manipulation. For collectors, the foil treatment adds a layer of visual appeal, distinguishing this promo card from its non-foil counterparts. The 82s identifier places it firmly within the promotional subset, appealing to those who seek out specific variants from the Amonkhet era. Whether you are building a themed collection of Gods or focusing on high-rarity promo cards, Bontu the Glorified offers a compelling intersection of lore and mechanical depth.
