Must say, I was looking forward to Ikoria spoilers to distract me from how boring is staying at home in isolation, and I'm really sad that they are postponed. New cards give me something cool to talk about with my friends, and I desperately need to stop talking epidemiology all the time

I feel your pain.

I’ll share a little story with you to whet your appetite for Ikoria.

I return from the Throne of Eldraine stream where I first announced the existence of Ikoria (we shot it down in Los Angeles). Dave Humpherys, Ikoria’s lead set designer, comes up to me and says, “So you announced Ikoria?”

“Yeah.”

“You said that the set had a cool mechanic that was a bit out there. It was something that players would enjoy, but be a bit surprised we actually made.”

“Yeah.”

“Which mechanic were you taking about?”

You see, *two* mechanics in the set fit that description.
