The official previews for the latest Magic: The Gathering set, Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths, continue today with the reveal of the fourth ultimatum spell from the set: "Splendid Ultimatum". This Jeskai-colored (red/white/blue) Sorcery will you draw 5 cards, gain 5 life, and it deals 5 damage to any target. Check it out:
Splendid Ultimatum
It looks like Jeskai Control will return to the Standard meta with this powerful card.
There's also a bunch of multi-colored set revealed recently, including some weird cat breeds, wedge-colored enchantments, and burn spells.
Here are the other Ikoria cards revealed recently:
Regal Leosaur
Whirlwind of Thought
24
Necropanther (regular and showcase versions)
Skycat Sovereign
Fire Prophecy
Flame Spill
Offspring's Revenge
Almighty Brushwagg
Of One Mind
"Slitherwisp"
2
Snare Tactician
The recent previews continue to reveal that Ikoria is going to be a mechanic-heavy set, and I think it's good timing for Wizards to release this set before a more beginner-friendly Core Set 2020, which is scheduled to release this July.
