Ikoria Mechanical Essay

I really liked this essay on how the mechanics of Ikoria were developed. It's a cool window into using familiar tools like cycling, bending old ideas like wedge-colored themes into new shapes, and trying something new to spotlight the themes of your world, as mutate does.

Magic doing a kaiju world is a nice take and one I'm genuinely surprised hasn't come up before. But I'm also really digging on what they've done with this world so far, and with the things I've seen in Commander 2020.

It's unfortunate that all of this is getting delayed, but it's still a pretty exciting set to me and I am looking forward to messing around with it.
