[[Koth of the Hammer]] is a red human Planeswalker, introduced in April 2016 along with the [[Battle for Zendikar]] card set.
He has average health and average deck limits which heavily favor Creatures, at the expense of Supports. Like all of the BFZ and Origins Planeswalkers, he has a low mana bonus total; at +7, it is as low as a tri-color PW. His red bonus is tied for highest in the game, though, with [[Jaya, Fiery Negotiator]], and his abilities are quite powerful.
His abilities revolve around red gems, including destroying non-red gems on the board, and creating a support {{Ability|Token}} which permanently {{Ability|buff|buffs}} his creatures when red gems are matched. He can also temporarily give all his creatures {{Ability|Berserker}} and {{Ability|Trample}}, as well as a large buff to their Power.
In the [[Innistrad: Midnight Hunt]] event [[The Harvesttide]], red {{Ability|Activate}} gems are added to the board by the Lycan Rage permanent support.
Koth of the Hammer is the first of two [[Planeswalkers]] in MtGPQ to embody Koth at different points in his life. Although Koth of the Hammer was released with the [[Battle for Zendikar]] set, [[#Story|his story]] is set in Mirrodin, a MtG setting introduced more than a decade before the release of Puzzle Quest, and it is only his most recent avatar, [[Koth, Fire of Resistance]], whose homeland and story is directly connected to his concurrent set.
