The full spoiler for Ikoria is up and while there's not much that stands out to me, I thought I would discuss a few cards that I find interesting.
Shredded Sails - a slightly more limited Abrade but I still think it's playable. I don't know if it would replace Shattering Pulse but I think it's a possible alternative. The buyback on Shattering Pulse has always felt win-more to me and having more options for the same cost at least makes Shredded Sails a consideration.
Fire Prophecy - this seems like interesting design space even though the card itself is somewhat limited. Hopefully we'll see more along these lines in the future.
Honorable Mentions: the new art for the gain lands, Evolving Wilds, and Anticipate are good. I enjoyed the overall look and feel of the world of Ikoria even if it didn't result in a lot of playables for Paper EDH.

Survivors' Bond - a potential 2-for-1 in the right deck.
