===Trivia=== * The ''Godzilla Series Monster card'' {{card|Void Beckoner||IKO|#=373|title=Spacegodzilla, Death Corona}} had an unfortunate name in view of the [[wikipedia:2019β20 coronavirus pandemic|2019β20 coronavirus pandemic]] that developed after its creation.<ref>{{DailyRef|news/statement-spacegodzilla-2020-04-02|Statement on Spacegodzilla|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|April 2, 2020}}</ref> All reprint editions of the set will remove this card. On [[MTG Arena]], it was renamed to {{card|Void Beckoner||IKO|#=373A|title=Spacegodzilla, Void Invader}}. And in [[Magic Online]], the card won't be distributed in [[Treasure Chest]]s. Note that this is a special version of the card {{card|Void Beckoner||IKO|#=104}}, which will not be affected by any changes. * <c>Kogla, the Titan Ape</c> is a reference to [[Wikipedia:King Kong|King Kong]]. Its rules text is similar to the [[M11]] "[[titan]] trigger". While well known in relation to Godzilla as a western Kaiju-esque creation, it has no special treatment likely due to the rights largely being owned by Universal Studios. <c>Yidaro, Wandering Monster</c> is a similar case, a reference to the Daiei-owned (and Toho Co. rival) Japanese Kaiju [[Wikipedia:Gamera|Gamera]]. * <c>Shark Typhoon</c> is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Sharknado|Sharknado]] franchise. * <c>Adaptive Shimmerer</c>, <c>Cryptic Trilobite</c>, <c>Farfinder</c> and <c>Mysterious Egg</c> join the short list as the fourth to seventh colorless non-artifact non-Eldrazi creatures. * The art of <c>Forbidden Friendship</c>, {{card|Capture Sphere||IKO}} and {{card|Cathartic Reunion||IKO}} tells a story about a [[bonder]] and his [[monster]]. A similar story is also told by <c>Proud Wildbonder</c> and <c>Fully Grown</c>. * <c>Flame Spill</c> is a near-functional reprint and [[black border]]ed version, of <c>Super-Duper Death Ray</c> from ''[[Unstable]]''.<ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/614872815235153920/heres-my-ikoria-social-media-preview-yes|title=Yes, Super-Duper Death Ray comes to black border (well, almost, it doesnβt technically have trample).|April 8, 2020}}</ref> <c>Ram Through</c> similarly uses the mechanic. * <c>Fiend Artisan</c> is the first [[mythic rare]] [[hybrid mana]] card to be printed in a booster pack since the rarity was introduced in ''[[Shards of Alara]]'', almost 12 years earlier. * The design of <c>The Ozolith</c> was inspired by the [[silver-bordered]] <c>Giant Fan</c>.<ref name="Beholder 2"/> * The song featured in Ikoria's cinematic is ''[[Wikipedia:Bad Reputation (Joan Jett song)|Bad Reputation]]'' by [[Wikipedia:Joan Jett|Joan Jett]]. * The set was nicknamed "Monster Island" by [[R&D]].<ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/712283265366736896|title=I'd like to invoke a (belated) birthday trivia of the set that pulled me into Magic: Ikoria!|March 20, 2023}}</ref>
