Increasing Devotion

Description

Increasing Devotion, identified as card number 91 in the Commander 2020 set, is a rare white sorcery within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Released in 2020, this card features a mana cost of {3}{W}{W} and a mana value of 5. It is designed for mono-white decks, relying on white mana to activate its effects. The card was illustrated by Daniel Ljunggren, whose artwork accompanies the text box in the standard set layout. The primary effect of Increasing Devotion allows the player to create five 1/1 white Human creature tokens. This provides immediate board presence and resource generation. A key feature of this card is its flashback ability, which costs {7}{W}{W} to cast from the graveyard. If the spell is cast using flashback, the token creation doubles, resulting in ten 1/1 white Human creature tokens instead of five. This dual functionality allows the card to serve as a removal spell or a body sac outlet, with the graveyard providing a secondary, more powerful option. Collectors and players familiar with the Commander 2020 set recognize Increasing Devotion for its flexibility in mid-to-late game scenarios. The card’s design encourages strategic planning around mana efficiency and graveyard interaction. As part of the C20 set code, it fits into the broader ecosystem of the Commander format, where token strategies and resilient spell casting are valued. The specific card number 91 places it within the base checklist, making it a standard component for those collecting the full set.
