I got two out of three on the art previews. Damnation and BLood Moon. (Not quite as familiar with Desolation Angel, so not really kicking myself for missing).
Just chilling artwork. Blood moon, espeically. Just the bloody pool in front of the destroyed temple and everything around it is dust
I really like that blood moon. I wish it was framed differently, but I really like it. The invocation art, in a few cases, is really really good. It's such a shame it's put in the weird frames. Blood Moon and Mind Twist come to mind specifically. Wish I could get that art in a normal frame.
I love angels, but this block should not have angels. Kaladesh should not have had angels. The next block should not have angels. Archon, maybe. But not angels. They don't look like angels, they don't behave like angels, and the settings are bad for angels. Theros didn't have angels and it made sense, and I loved wotc for not shoehorning. Save angels for planes where it makes sense for angels to be.
Lol, they put Damnation in the HOU Invocations list, just as I predicted before MM17 was released. I knew they had to put it here, but putting it in MM17 was a pleasant surprise, can't complain much Blood Moon was just reprinted too, the Invocation is welcome still. Also nice to see another female angel transformed into male
I know it's a little early to judge with just three cards revealed, but I think these look better than the Amonkhet Invocations. With most of the Amonkhet ones, it looked like the art was just being framed by the border instead of being part of the card. With the Hour of Devastation Invocations, the art looks more like part of the card. Blue skies just didn't work, these borders were made for the dusty sky of death!
I'm also expecting The Scorpion God and the other two to be invocations
I still find it quicker to read the rules text then guess what the card is rather than read the name itself.

Actually all three of them have just beautiful art.
But desolation angel wth is wrong with you wizards that card is worth less than a dollar.
The Foil was worth $26.75. Thannks to Commander and several cubes running the card. Its not the worst pick.
