Amonkhet Invocations is a promotional Magic set of 54 foil cards that are randomly inserted in boosters of the Amonkhet block.[2] The theme of the Amonkhet Invocations are the Amonkhet gods, their magic and their servants;[3] while the Hour of Devastation Invocations are disaster themed, reflecting the chaos wrought by Bolas' return. The set is part of the Masterpiece Series.[4][5] Although these cards are not black-bordered, they are ruled to be tournament legal.[6][7]
The Amonkhet Invocations have a very unconventional card frame which received a lot of criticisms from the community upon reveal.[8] Although the taste of card frame is subjective, the card name written in pseudo-hieroglyphs was seen as a major setback for some players. The unclear theme, the choice of cards, and the cards' color distribution were also points of criticism.[9][10][11]
