Following the three hints for Ikoria: Commander revealed last Friday, Senior Magic Designer Gavin Verhey has released another video on his Instagram account in which he gives seven more hints for the upcoming new Magic: The Gathering cards that will be featured in the five Ikoria: Commander decks.
Watch Verhey's new video here:
Verhey revealed the following hints for Ikoria: Commander:
1) A hound that generates Fetch counters
2) There's a card with the rules text: "Whenever you cast a spell with X in its mana cost, it does something"
3) There's a cycle of cards that is a reimagining of an old, popular mutiplayer cycle"
4) There's a creature that generates mana you can only use to activate abilities.
5) 8 non-evergreen returning mechanics
6) Two creatures types: Whale Wolf and Dinosaur Cat tokens.
7) There is a single legendary card that brings back and uses experience counters.
Can you take a guess at what those 8 returning non-evergreen mechanics are?
It looks like both Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths and Ikoria: Commander will heavily feature using counters that represent keywords that will let players create their own monsters. WotC still hasn't revealed the decklists for the Ikoria Commander decks, but the company has already revealed the names of the 5 decks.
Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths will officially be released on April 24, 2020.
