Big creatures, reprinted
Iconic Masters is a reprint set built around famous creatures rather than one format. Its headline reprints were the five New Phyrexia Praetors, the five Kamigawa Dragons, Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, plus Mana Drain and Necropotence.
It drafted with a big-creatures theme, with ramp and defensive cards to get there.
Where You Can Play It
Iconic Masters is a reprint set, so legality is a per-card question.
Every card is a reprint, and a reprint doesn't change legality: each card is legal exactly where it already was. Appearing here does not make a card Standard- or Pioneer-legal.
Never Standard- or Pioneer-legal as a set. Several reprints are restricted or banned: Channel and Primeval Titan are banned in Commander, Necropotence is banned in Legacy and restricted in Vintage, and Mana Drain is banned in Legacy. Commons from any set are Pauper-legal; that isn't listed per set here.
