Set Mechanics
As evolution runs haywire across Ikoria, some creatures are finding themselves not simply adapting to the new dangers around them, but merging with them to become bigger, better, and more dangerous than ever before. This is expressed in the game with the new keyword mutate and the new game mechanic of merged permanents.
View all 0 Mutate cardsSometimes creatures gain abilities until end of turn, but on Ikoria, these modifications are often permanent. These changes are marked using the new game mechanic of keyword counters.

Each card in the Mythos cycle can be cast with a single color of mana, but the tale is much more epic if you also spend a certain two other colors of mana.
