Description
The Locust God (Card Number 139s) stands as a striking foil mythic rare from the 2017 Magic: The Gathering Hour of Devastation Promos set. Designed by artist Lius Lasahido, this card represents a powerful legendary creature within the game's complex ecosystem. As a dual-colored entity requiring both blue and red mana, it offers strategic depth through its ability to generate 1/1 Insect creature tokens with flying and haste whenever its controller draws a card. This mechanic allows players to build board presence rapidly, turning card advantage into immediate threats. Beyond its token generation, The Locust God provides additional utility through its activated ability, allowing players to draw a card at the cost of discarding one, maintaining hand resources while applying pressure. Its resilience is highlighted by its death trigger, which returns the card to its owner’s hand at the beginning of the next end step, ensuring it remains a persistent threat in play. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek this promo for its unique artwork and its role in the Hour of Devastation storyline. The foil treatment enhances its visual appeal, making it a desirable addition to any themed collection or deck-building archive. Whether used for casual gameplay or traded among enthusiasts, this card captures the essence of the set's aggressive design philosophy.
