![]() ![]() Early on, you need to prioritize three things: bombs, high quality removal ( Blood Curdle and Fire Prophecy, not Gust of Wind or Clash of Titans), and fixing. Your goal is less a tightly-constructed deck with deep Mutate/Cycling/noncreature-matters/tokens synergies and more overpowering your opponent with high card quality.ĭrafting this archetype requires discipline, since you’re going to save filling out your curve until later on in the draft. Each wedge does things a bit differently, but it ultimately doesn’t matter which colors you draft. The goal’s simple: play three or more colors, get rewarded. Plentiful fixing, powerful shenanigans, excellent card smoothing, and anemic aggro decks are perfect conditions for multicolor goodstuff piles to shine. We’ll start with what I drafted the most at the onset: Multicolor Goodstuff. ![]() I’d argue that there are five such archetypes: Multicolor Goodstuff, Cycling, Humans, two color Mutate, and Companion. So while there is support for UR noncreature-matters, Wrb go-wide, and BG graveyard shenanigans, these are usually minor themes subsumed within broader archetypes. These flexible factors blur the borders across archetypes by letting them use each other’s components. Ikoria is defined by three modular things: Mutate (all colors have Mutaters and non-human Mutatees, though white really struggles), Cycling (which provides consistency and its own archetype), and plentiful fixing. The first thing to know is that Ikoria is very different from the last multicolor sets we saw on Ravnica-yes, it rewards you for finding an open lane and committing to it, but there aren’t five or ten discrete archetypes based on color pairs. This time, with plenty of experience under our belt, we’ll focus on the particulars of the major archetypes. Last time, we did a broad overview of Ikoria Limited before it released. With all this extra at-home time I’ve got, I’ve managed to complete a playset of Ikoria (something I’ve never tried to do) and earn about 20,000 gems in one week purely by drafting and then cracking almost two hundred packs when I was done. I’ve been having a blast with the format. Seasonal ResetĬonstructed and Limited Ranks will be reset.Ikoria is here and it is a wild format! It features a sweet new take on Cycling, a fun and skill-intensive new mechanic in Mutate, and a Limited format that seems to combine two parts Rise of the Eldrazi with three parts Unstable-a Jenny/spike format where you can customize your own creatures, stretch your mana to the breaking point, and sacrifice crunchy humans for value. There is no benefit to acquiring a card style more than once if you achieve Gold Rank or higher in both Limited and Constructed, you will only receive one copy of the card style. Mythic: 5 Ikoria: Lair of the Behemoths booster packs + 1000 goldĪs a general reminder, card styles are a cosmetic option only and does not add any cards to a player's collection. ![]() Diamond: 4 Ikoria: Lair of the Behemoths booster packs + 1000 gold.Platinum: 3 Ikoria: Lair of the Behemoths booster packs + 1000 gold + Shark Typhoon Card Style.Gold: 2 Ikoria: Lair of the Behemoths booster packs + 1000 gold + Bastion of Remembrance Card Style.Silver: 1 Ikoria: Lair of the Behemoths booster pack + 500 gold.Bronze: 1 Ikoria: Lair of the Behemoths booster pack.You must have played at least one ranked game in the respective format to receive seasonal rewards. Players will receive their rewards for May 2020 season at the start of the next ranked season (May 31, 12:05 PT/19:05 UTC). ![]()
