newest worlds in Magic. It is not just a book of full-color illustrations, but the inspiration and talent behind the art and lore of Amonkhet. My son thought the book did a good job explaining the story line and world-building. He also thought it was cool to see The Reward cycle of cards that are in this book, even though they didn’t make it into the set.
