Torment of Hailfire

Description

The Torment of Hailfire promo card, designated as 77s, is a distinct release within the 2017 Hour of Devastation Promos set for Magic: The Gathering. Produced by Wizards of the Coast, this rare sorcery card features a foil finish that enhances its visual appeal for collectors and players alike. The card's design carries the PHOU set code, marking its place in the promotional landscape of that year. Mechanically, Torment of Hailfire is a black sorcery with a mana cost of two black mana plus an additional X mana. Its effect allows players to repeat a process X times, forcing each opponent to lose 3 life unless they sacrifice a nonland permanent of their choice or discard a card. This flexible damage output makes it a notable inclusion for decks built around sacrifice strategies or aggressive removal. The flavor text, "Your God-Pharaoh has returned," hints at the set's narrative themes without defining the broader expansion's mechanics. For collectors, the foil treatment adds a layer of desirability to this card number. The card was illustrated by Grzegorz Rutkowski, whose work contributes to the artistic value of the Hour of Devastation Promos series. Whether used in gameplay or added to a display collection, this card represents a unique piece of Magic history. The combination of its strategic utility and aesthetic finish makes it a standout item for those who appreciate both the gameplay depth and the collectible nature of Magic: The Gathering cards.
