Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths is the 84th Magic expansion. It was originally scheduled to be released on April 24, 2020. Due to the 2019-2020 coronavirus pandemic, the paper release was advanced to April 17, 2020 for Asia, and delayed until May 15, 2020 for the other continents, while Magic Online and MTG Arena release on April 16, 2020. Despite this, the cards become legal in Standard and other formats on April 24, 2020, the original release date.[5][6][7][8][9]
Set details
“ | There's Always a Bigger Monster | ” |
Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths makes use of monster movie tropes,[10] and is especially inspired by Kaiju (a Japanese genre of films featuring giant monsters like Godzilla).[11] The set is mostly designed bottom-up, but there are also some top-down individual card designs.[12] Monsters are the focal point of the set. Monsters are fighting other monsters, and monsters are fighting humans and their cities.[11]
The set contains 274 cards (15 basic lands, 111 commons, 80 uncommons, 53 rares, 15 mythic rares), and includes randomly inserted premium versions of all cards. A unique Buy-a-Box promotional card is also considered to be part of the set. Cards with an alternate card frames have another card number than the original version. The Buy-a-Box is #275, borderless planeswalkers are numbered #276-278, Showcase cards are numbered #279-313, and the extended artwork cards are numbered #314-363. The Bundle promo is numbered #364, and the Godzilla Series Monster cards are numbered #370-387. Finally, there are the FNM-treatment cards from the universal promo pack numbered #365-369. Both regular and foil versions of most of these cards may be found in the Collector Boosters.
The set's expansion symbol is a monstrous eye. The Showcase cards are connected to the mutate mechanic. They feature a comic book style.[11]
Storyline
The setting is Ikoria, a plane of beasts and monsters.[13] As the world of Ikoria developed, humans quickly realized what types of defenses were needed to stave off monsters. The humans were quick to become both militaristic and ingenious. Unfortunately for the humans, the monsters of Ikoria have begun to mutate and the fortresses that were previously successful at protecting humans have now become fodder for the monsters to annihilate. Featured planeswalkers are Vivien Reid, Lukka and Narset.
The cards that represent the Story Spotlights in Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths are:
Marketing
Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths is sold in regular 16-card Draft Boosters (one card being a marketing card), mono-colored Theme Boosters, Collector Boosters, the Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths bundle and five Commander decks.[13] The Draft Boosters feature artwork from Vivien, Monsters' Advocate, Kogla, the Titan Ape and TBA. The Theme Boosters feature art from TBA (Monsters), TBA , Cunning Nightbonder (), TBA (), and TBA (). The Collector Boosters feature TBA. The Monsters Theme Booster replaces the White Theme Booster.
Godzilla Series Monster cards
Each booster box contains a box topper.[14] For the box toppers Wizards of the Coast partnered with Toho Corporation to feature its iconic monsters such as Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah. These cards are called the Godzilla Series Monster cards.[11]
Each booster box has a single-card Box Topper pack featuring a foil Godzilla Series Monster card. In Japanese boosters, there are 18 different Box topper cards in foil (three found only in Japanese language). In all other languages, there are 15 different box toppers. WPN stores will have an additional foil Godzilla card as part of the Buy-a-Box promotion.[11]
The 19th card with this treatment is the Buy-a-Box card, which only exists in its Godzilla Series form.

- */* Dinosaur Beast creature with trample, created by Quartzwood Crasher.

- Companion marker.
Punch card
There is also a set of double-sided keyword counters on a punch card.[22]
- First strike (), hexproof (), lifelink (), menace (), reach (), +1/+1 ().
- Flying (), flying (), deathtouch (), trample (), vigilance (), +1/+1 ().
Themes and mechanics
Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths is about "building your own monsters".[23][24] This is represented by the keyword ability mutate.[25][26] You can mutate a creature you control by paying the mutate cost and placing the card below or above a non-Human creature. That creature gains all abilities printed on the card with Mutate. A creature can be mutated multiple times.[27] Mutate was first referred to on the silver-bordered card Surgeon General Commander in Unsanctioned.[28]
The set also introduces the mechanic companion. The companion ability lists a deckbuilding rule. If your starting deck follows that rule, then the legendary creature can serve as your chosen companion. Once during the game, you may cast your chosen companion from your sideboard: if your companion dies, it doesn't return to the sideboard but instead goes to the graveyard per usual.
The set makes use of keyword counters.[22] These were introduced on a test card in the Mystery Booster set (Recycla-bird with Flying counters). The set uses twelve different types of counters (thirteen including loyalty counters).[27] The others are bounty, foreshadow, +1/+1, deathtouch, first strike, flying, hexproof, lifelink, menace, reach, trample and vigilance counters.[26] Note that double strike and indestructible counters only appear on cards in the C20-set, and not in Ikoria itself. Some creatures gain variable ability counters, and tying into the theme of granting keywords there are several creatures that rewarded creatures with particular keywords (keyword "lords").
Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths also features the return of Human tribal,[29] hybrid mana and cycling.[26]
Color-wise, the set is enemy color themed, leaning into wedges for the apex predator legends and associated triomes. Unlike Khans of Tarkir, this implementation of wedges focuses on the common enemy color (ex. for the wedge, Indatha is primarily black, while Abzan is primarily white.) Additionally, there are no three-colour cards below Rare rarity, and fixing is less prevalent, sculpting a format where enemy pairs are prevalent, but the allied pairs are more probable than wedge decks.
Card types
The set introduces the Otter creature type and reintroduces the Shark type.[27] It also features the first standard-legal Brushwagg since Mirage (Almighty Brushwagg), and the first black-bordered Squirrel since Odyssey (Helica Glider).
The set also introduces the Lukka planeswalker type.

Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths has twenty cycles, including two double cycles. There is also one mirrored pair.

^ While the color pair cares about flash, flash isn't something that makes sense for a keyword counter, so the black mentor instead cares about lifelink. The other allied pairs care about flying (), menace (), trample () and vigilance ().[30]
Double cycles
Mirrored pairs
- Cycling bears: Two common Humans. Each is a bear with cycling and has a triggered ability whenever you cycle another card — Drannith Stinger () and Drannith Healer ().
- Keyword checker: Two common sorceries that cost less to cast if you control a creature with a certain evergreen keyword — Gust of Wind (flying, ) and Tentative Connection (menace, ).

Preconstructed decks
Planeswalker decks are discontinued for expansions.[31] For this set, they are replaced by five Commander decks (Ikoria Commander). This is essentially Commander 2020 aligning with Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths.[32] The 71 new cards in the decks are set on the world of Ikoria, but the reprints can be from anywhere. There are a handful of cards from the main Ikoria set in these decks in the reprint slots, but the number is fairly small. The cards are only legal in Eternal formats like Legacy, Vintage, and Pauper. They have their own expansion symbol and set code (C20) to set them apart.

Notable cards
- The Godzilla Series Monster card Spacegodzilla, Death Corona had an unfortunate name in view of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic that developed after its creation.[20] All reprint editions of the set will remove this card. On MTG Arena, it was renamed to Spacegodzilla, Void Invader. And in Magic Online, the card won't be distributed in Treasure Chests. Note that this is a special version of the card Void Beckoner, which will not be affected by any changes.
- Kogla, the Titan Ape is a reference to King Kong. Its rules text is similar to the M11 "titan trigger". While well-known in relation to Godzilla as a western Kaiju-esque creation, it has no special treatment likely due rights owned by another company.
- Lutri, the Spellchaser was banned in Commander the day it was spoiled.[33][34]
- Shark Typhoon is a reference to the Sharknado franchise.
- Adaptive Shimmerer, Farfinder and Mysterious Egg join the short list as the fourth, fifth, and sixth colorless non-artifact non-Eldrazi creatures. They also are the first commons.
- The art of Forbidden Friendship, Capture Sphere and Cathartic Reunion tells a story about a bonder and his monster.
- Flame Spill is a near-functional reprint and black bordered version, of Super-Duper Death Ray from Unstable.[35]
