Koth of the Hammer is a red human Planeswalker, announced in March 2023 along with the Phyrexia: All Will Be One (ONE) card set.

He has average health and deck limits which slightly favor Spells at the expense of Supports. Unlike the original Koth, he has a normal mana bonus total, while retaining the +9 spike bonus to Red, tied for highest in the game with Koth of the Hammer and Jaya, Fiery Negotiator.

His abilities are focused on and quantified by gems and Land supports, including dealing damage based on their numbers. He can destroy non-red gems on the board, reduce Vanguard Shields, and create a support Token  which does all three of these things. Destroying gems can be a source of Mana when other gems fall into the vacated spaces and make a cascade match.

Koth, Fire of Resistance is the first of two Planeswalkers in MtGPQ to embody Koth at different points in his life story. Koth, Fire of Resistance's Mirrodin homeland is directly connected to the events of ONE, and ONE is the first time Mirrodin has been a major setting in Puzzle Quest.

Story

"Born on the plane of Mirrodin, the planeswalker Koth commands the power of the earth and magma. He witnessed his native plane being forcibly transformed into New Phyrexia and did all he could to keep the fire of the Mirran Resistance up against overwhelming odds. As Phyrexia prepares to expand massively and the war is about to reach its climax, Koth feels this might be the right moment to strike and destroy his people’s oppressors for good."
