Mark Rosewater confirmed that Surgeon General Commander references an Ikoria ability in his article today.
What happened next was a mischievous idea. While trying to think of things that were host or augment-like, I realized we had a brand-new mechanic coming up in Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths that fit the bill, something called mutate. Unsanctioned was coming out before Ikoria, but what if I let it care about mutate? That way, when Ikoria came out, there'd be a new series of cards that you could use in the deck. And it would be a fun tease of a future mechanic, something we hadn't done before. So, I figured out who all the people were that I had to ask permission of to do this, and I asked them. All of them said yes. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical that would happen, but was very excited when it did. So, what exactly does mutate do? Patience. Ikoria previews will start soon enough
This lack of MSRP is really annoying. I want to know how much the set is to save up money but can't find a price.
As for the cards, there's definitely some fun stuff that will have to go in my Un-Cube. Don't need the reprints, but several of the new cards are slam dunks. And did I see Giant Teddy Bear tokens for Water Gun Balloon Game? I was planning to make custom ones but might not need to now.
