# Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths Overview Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths released in April 2020 during the early COVID-19 pandemic, making it the first major Magic set distributed primarily through digital channels and delayed physical availability. The 390-card set introduced mutate, a mechanic allowing creatures to stack abilities vertically, fundamentally altering creature interaction patterns. The set's monster-focused design emphasized large creatures and combat-centric gameplay, departing from the previous year's narrative focus. Mechanically, Ikoria proved significant for competitive Magic. Companions, a new card type allowing deck-building flexibility, generated immediate controversy and required emergency banning of multiple cards within months. Lurrus of the Dream-Den, Yorion, Sky Nomad, and Kaheela Shy dominated multiple formats, forcing format adjustments. Notable cards included Snapdax, Apex Predator and Void Mirror, which saw constructed play. The set's limited environment emphasized creature synergies and color-intensive mana bases. Ikoria's compressed release schedule and digital-first distribution model influenced Magic's future release strategies, making it historically significant beyond its mechanical contributions.
A great Magic catalog page needs to explain finish splits, print treatments, and why the set still matters across formats.
