Hour of Promise

Hour of Promise Imagery

Why does the card Hour of Promise (from HOU) depict a blue/red god that makes black tokens, on a green card?

The card represents the spread of the desert now that the hekma, the protective barrier, has fallen (destroyed by the locusts). The wild black Zombies show up because the barrier isn’t there to keep them out.

Maybe. : )
