Magic: Party Love the dragon. It loves them as the main player in its knowledge, it loves them in the luxurious art of card, occasionally in dungeons, when it was with its Coast Wizards. But as the noble trading card game moves into the next original expansion, it is the next controversial step forward on the cliff to cross the border, which hopes not only to bring you back to areas familiar to Takil, but also to the basics. In this case, this involves searching hell Start with some dragons.
Tarkir: Dragonstorm Mark the conclusion magicLatest Story – The middle chapter of the narrative trilogy involving the game's original card, since August 2024 Bloombrountil the end of next year to the unreleased set. The plane back to Tuckier, first visited the block in 2014 Khan of Takirit was in the chaos on the plane as it was destroyed by the rebellion of the five dragon lords ruled by Tarkir, creating a dangerous new wild dragon in the process. Dragonstorm The hiker Elspeth and Narset team will be seen investigating the threat of dragons that have appeared in the last few extended narratives, fighting Sarkhan as he tries to consolidate Dragonkind's grip on Tarkir and aircraft outside of it.
It can be said that the dragon is Dragonstormnot only the composition of narrative and the cards that can be found in the collection, but also artistically and mechanically. In addition to Dragonstormthese creatures are scattered in variant cards in the set, from special Draconic frameworks to a series of concentrated Tibetan forms of land that focus on longans to another set of lands with classic land types magicThe mana values of various colors are dominated by the dark existence flying over the head of a dragon.

But in actual mechanical systems Dragonstormwhich means there is a a lot of Dragon card and many Big Dragon creatures can play on the deck. This merges into two main new mechanisms Dragonstorm. First, “look”, add a new mechanical language to magicGrowing dictionary.
“It's not a mechanic, but it's something we want to do a lot of times throughout the scene. We kind of want to give the card a better language to make it more readable,” Adam Prosak is a senior game designer magic The team told the news at a recent event that revealed the Dragonstorm. “I call the mechanic of the point of view ‘the dragon’, or “assure us you have a bunch of dragons on the deck.”
There are on many cards in the collection (naturally considering the ubiquitous presence of dragons on Tarkir), to see dragons allow players to point to the dragon cards in their hands or the dragon cards played on the battlefield and use them to activate their abilities on another card. “We chose the word very specifically,” Prosak joked, hoping that players would majesticly point to countless dragons when they announced the game. However, not only can dragons be used as leverage to activate other cards’ abilities, but multiple of the larger dragon cards in the set will also bring another kind of mechanic to help players soften the blow that dumps many high-cost creatures onto the theme-appropriate deck: emen.
“This omen ability just allows you to put a bunch of dragons on the deck without messing up the gameplay of having a bunch of very expensive large creatures on the deck,” Prosak explained. “What are you going to do with the rest of the game?”
Omen will be abilities on some dragon cards that essentially make them useful and then save them back to your deck so that after upgrading later, once Mana: Instant abilities, you can draw a large number of cards, then discard cards that use Omen and put them back in the library. “These are basically two cards, except when you cast instantly, you want to draw the dragon later,” Prosak continued. “If you catch a dragon, then you, Cast a huge dragon. So it's very exciting. ”
Tarkir: Dragonstorm Commander's Deck Preview
but Dragonstorm This will be a set about the dragon form, which is also the tarkir suit, which means another element in the entire scene is the main clan that was originally introduced Khan of Takir. “When we returned to Tuckier, we wanted to make sure that this set covers everything players expect and love from the original Tuckier neighborhood,” product designer Athena Froehlich Dragon Stormexplain. “So you can expect the best of both worlds, namely the clan and the dragon.”
Five clans of Abzan, Mardu, Jeskai, Sultai and Temur will return DragonstormNot only does each clan have an ally dragon, linking them all to the rebellion of the Dragon Lord, and a new character that reflects how each player has developed since the last visit to the plane, they also have a unique mechanic for each person to define their prototype. Abzan introduces “endurance”, granting creatures the reward ability and resilience, or creating new spiritual tokens, while Jeskai introduces “Flurry”, which will introduce bonuses if the player turns the second spell.
Mardu has a “mobilization” that allows the card to create other temporary 1/1 Warriors and plays a role in other cards that rely on having extra creatures, while Sultai adds a “renewal” that uses from the cemetery, completely exiles the creatures into a reward counter (including keyword counters like Lifelink or deathtouch) to play the reward counter in your card. Finally, Temur has “Coordination,” a variation of flashbacks that allows players to cast witchcraft from the cemetery and instantly for a higher cost – which can be reduced by striking creatures in the game, exploiting Temur’s connection with spells and high-functional creatures.
All of these will play a role in not the traditional four, but five Commander's deck will be on Dragonstormeach built around a specific Takir clan and synergizes with two potential commanders: one of the leaders or one of their matching dragons, synergizes the broader themes that define Takir's main factions… and the giant beasts that may eventually be doomed to make them.
