Basic lands from Archenemy: Nicol Bolas were just spoiled on magiccardmarket.
I would bet my home that the artwork depicting destroyed landscapes is also on two cycles of basics in Hour of Devastation, one full art and one regular. They`re doing the time lapse trick we saw in the Khans block. I love it when they do stuff like this with the basics.

Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
The images also seem to hold a clue to just how things go south. Notice how the sun aligns with the horns from the "before" image to the "after" image. That seems to be the moment when the devastation occurs. Also, notice how the impact on the structures is always from the center of the image and outwards, as if there has been some kind of ray of destruction starting at the sun and moving through the horns and towards us. Maybe the horns amplify the sun`s energy when it`s at some exact position. That sure sounds like an egyptian trope to me.

The June 7th HOD story tells us at the Gates open when the Second Sun appears between the horns. I think it is giving power to something and opening a rift, since Bolas's power has weakened and this is his time to regain his old godlike power.
And here I thought Rosewater meant that the new basic arts for HOU were because Bolas was going to destroy the horn monument in some kind of "IT WAS ME, AUSTIN" moment.
Well, who would have guessed so much devastation going on in... what was the set called again?
...
I retract my point. We should have seen this coming. I also imagine some grumbling coming up regarding a second set of full-art lands featuring the horns prominently.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

Expected it, but not mad about it. I like these little flavor additions they add. If it was this or no basic lands, why would you not pick this?
Also I expect full art lands that are the same as the original full art lands from Amonkhet, but "Destroyed" to match the Flavor of Hour of Devastation.
The "after-lands" just don't confey danger and/or desperation sufficiently imo.
It gets a bit more cloudy and there is sand. Big deal. And there is some water pollution going on. Sad but hardly dreadful.
The contrasts are not harsh enough and atmosphere is just not there imo.
But maybe that's just me.
Maybe the original working set name was 'Hour of Inconvenience'?

Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."
