Magic: The Gathering’s Tarkir: Dragonstorm set out now

Find your clan and break the storm

Magic: The Gathering’s Tarkir: Dragonstorm set, featuring five Commander Decks, is officially out now for tabletop.

The set was released for mobile, PC, and Mac earlier in the week. For those who want tangible cards, they can now claim a trove of relics with the Tarkir: Dragonstorm set.

The set includes five preconstructed decks, each representing one of the Tarkir clans: Jeskai, Abzan, Sultai, Mardu, and Temur. Each deck includes new cards, as well as iconic reprints.

Each clan also has a unique three-color gameplay and new abilities for fresh strategies when wielding the deck for survival.

Moreover, the set features Dragonscale Foil fetch lands, Ghostfire cards, and Draconic frames that bring Tarkir to life.

Interested players can even seize a piece of Magic history and open one of 500 serialized Mox Jasper cards. This is available exclusively on Collector Boosters, featuring an exclusive Dan Frazier artwork and Retro frame.

New mechanics

Players can utilize two brand-new dragon-themed abilities using the decks. The first is Dragonstorms, which are enchantments with powerful abilities that can be returned to one’s hand for recasting when a Dragon is played.

The second is Omen, a new card subtype that lets players choose whether to cast a small spell that then shuffles the library, or a big Dragon.

Each of the five clans also has a keyword that players may use in battle. For Abzan, Endure lets players add N+1/+1 counters or create N/N Spirit tokens.

For Jeskai, the Flurry keyboard allows for mini combo turns with multiple spells. Cards with Flurry trigger an additional effect when casting a second spell each turn.

For Sultai, Renew allows players to exile cards from their graveyard as a sorcery for fun and profit. To Renew, they must spend some mana first and exile the card for a powerful result.

Onto Mardu, Mobilize can boost a go-wide strategy for the turn. Creatures with Mobilize trigger when attacking and create more attackers with menace that are sacrificed at the beginning of the next end step.

Lastly, for Temur, Harmonize lets players cast a card from the graveyard for its Harmonize cost, and lets them even tap an untapped creature they control to pay its power in generic mana.
