{{Infobox set|IKO}}
[[Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths]] is the 23rd expansion set of ''Magic: The Gathering - Puzzle Quest'', released in May 2020 in version 4.2 of the game. The set abbreviation is IKO, and the set icon ({{SetSymbol|IKO}}) resembles a beast's eye.
In paper Magic the Gathering, the sets immediately before [[Origins]] were closely related to three-color combinations of mana via the [[Mana#Tri color: Clans of Tarkir|Clans of Tarkir]], and had lands to go with them. But in Puzzle Quest Ikoria was the first appearance of three color lands, the [[Mana#Ikoria Triomes|Triomes]].
Ikoria introduced the term {{Ability|Basic Evergreen|Basic Evergreen}} for the collection of abilities first seen way back in [[Origins]]. Both [[Vivien, Monsters' Advocate]] and [[The Colossal Tussle]] made use of the mechanic.
IKO has more Cycling cards than the [[Amonkhet]] set that introduced that mechanic.
