Description
Released in 2017 as part of the Hour of Devastation Promos series, The Scarab God (145s) stands out as a mythic rare foil card in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by Lius Lasahido, this black-blue Legendary Creature — God brings unique strategic depth to gameplay through its upkeep and graveyard interactions. The card’s ability allows players to lose life and scry based on the number of Zombies controlled, while its activated ability enables the exile of target creature cards from graveyards to create 4/4 black Zombie tokens. When The Scarab God dies, it returns to its owner’s hand at the beginning of the next end step, offering resilience in play. Collectors value this card for its striking foil finish and its role in the Hour of Devastation Promos set, which expanded the Magic: The Gathering universe with powerful thematic elements. The Scarab God’s design and mechanics make it a sought-after piece for enthusiasts of the game, whether for completing sets or exploring its strategic potential. As a 145s promo card, it represents a distinct chapter in the brand’s history, appealing to both casual players and dedicated collectors. Whether for competitive play or collection display, this card remains a testament to the creativity and depth of Magic: The Gathering.
