The Ikoria card previews have already started and I have posted the previous night some of the first wave of cards from various reveal sources. As for today’s blog post, we start with a card preview by Ali Eldrazi stream in Twitch and what I think is a dynamic design in functionality. Check out Shark Typhoon.

This card’s flavor is hilarious but on point. This is Sharnado identified in a Magic card. The casting cost is a bit high but reasonable since you can Cycle it if you have drawn the card in the early turns. One of the best late-game plan in the likes of Metallurgic Summonings and while I saw that enchantment back in Kaladesh Standard, I am hopeful that the six mana cost won’t be much of an issue. What is good here is that the Shark tokens have flying which is ideal in cases of cluttered creature board scenario.

The possible decks to include this card are Blue-Red Spells, Blue-Black and Blue-White control. I mentioned Blue-Red first as this archetype is usually the ideal list of purely spells and lands. Previous build cater card draw and cantrip spells which can sustain a continuous Shark token generation.

I will wrap up this card feature for now and will follow up on this post with a Standard decklist soon as the full Ikoria card spoiler is out.

Until the next blog post.
