Magic: The Gathering Designer Teases New Red Card in Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths


The official release of the next Magic: The Gathering expansion, Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths, may have been delayed, but the official previews from Wizards of the Coast will still begin on April 2. Fans have been eager to find out more details about Magic's monster world, a setting we've never seen featured in a Magic set before, and today, we get another hint about a unique red card that will be in Ikoria!

Over on Twitter, Senior Designer Gavin Verhey recently shared a new video of him interviewing Jules Robins, "the leader of red's color pie". Watch the video below:

When Verhey asked to give a hint about his favorite red card in Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths, Robins said,"Ikoria has a sweet new card that lets you bottle in a different way than ever before."

Just in case you don't know what "bottling" is, here's his explanation: "'Impulsive draw'", where you exile cards from the top of your library and then have a limited time to play them."
