Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths

sure.

But one of the things we were talking about is ostensibly 10 color pairs, right? These, these allied color pairs look more heavily supported than the enemy color pairs to me, certainly so far, but also just in terms of they are aware these hybrid cards and these hybrid, uh, prepared spells are seated it almost seems kind of Ikoria ish to me in so Ikoria if you remember was a set where enemy color pairs were heavily supported and the allied color pairs kind of had these side quests sometimes would come together supported type stuff it seems more of that type of vibes to me so far

Yeah, I'm sort of hoping that it's more just the amount of cards or the distribution of the cards that have been previewed so far and not that like there's just a glut of gold cards in the allied color pairs and one in the enemy color pairs, but I guess remains to be seen.

And you'll be able to play the hybrid ones in the enemy color pair decks.

Like, Craterhoof Behemoth being a Modern card.

Named Artisan, known Ikoria, Boomer card.

That's

Peter Artisan's number one fan, I gotta say.

I mean, like, they did an extraordinarily bad job balancing standard cards.

Like, Ikoria, I mean, Winota was, like, really one of the worst balanced cards that's ever been printed.

Like, it's really bad.

Like-

I don't think that there's been a worse balanced card for standard since Bitterblossom, and that's saying something.

Like, it's, it's so bad.

And then, like, Ikoria comes out, and they have, like...

They, they basically soft banned the entire main mechanic of the set.

It's from

Ikoria.

Blue Enchantment from Ikoria being in Powered Cube, but maybe not in Powered Cube now.

I cut it from mine because I didn't think it was powerful enough, but it might be in the Power Cube.

Shark Typhoon? Shark Typhoon is correct.

In his fucking world.

But then, like, we're going to see the first plane invading another plane in Ikoria invading Kamigawa.

And basically creating Pacific Rim.

Pacific Rim? I feel like I need

This is one black black for a nightmare.

Uncommon for Ikoria, 3-3.

Grim Dancer enters the battlefield with your choice of two different counters on it from among Menace, Death Touch, and Lifelink.

This

It's one black black.

I think it's also from...

I don't think it's from Ikoria.

It's from Zendikar Rising.

Next question from Otakubox says, in the same vein that we're seeing with Kamigawa Titan Breach, would there be any other Omen Path related plane versus plane clash that y'all might be interested in or at least find fun in concept? That's a cool idea.

So for those unaware, Kamigawa Titan Breach announced for next year is, and I guess we'll say an invasion of sorts between Ikoria and Kamigawa.

So it's Mecha versus Kaiju.

Kamigawa has Mecha.

Ikoria has Kaiju.

Essentially big monsters and they're having a big fight.

Ikoria was where they had the Godzilla brand.

Exactly.
