Unveiling 5 New Cards from Tarkir: Dragonstorm Set in Magic: The Gathering

While Magic: The Gathering has been making waves with high-profile crossovers like Final Fantasy and Spider-Man, the upcoming set, Tarkir: Dragonstorm, is set to bring fans back to the beloved plane of Tarkir. We're excited to offer an exclusive sneak peek at five cards that are poised to dominate the draft scene next month. You can already secure your copy by preordering on Amazon.

Explore the gallery below to view all five cards, and continue reading for insights from Wizards of the Coast on their design and the overarching theme of the set.

Magic: The Gathering - 5 New Cards from Tarkir: Dragonstorm

6 ImagesThese five cards form a "cycle," each belonging to one of Magic's colors and sharing common design elements. They are all affordable, common-rarity creatures, each featuring an ability linked to one of Tarkir's three-color clans, along with another ability that converts mana into a color associated with that clan.

Wizards of the Coast Senior Game Designer Adam Prosak explains, "Three-color limited environments require substantial mana fixing across all rarities. We designed these creatures to not only help players fix their mana but also to contribute to the board state, offering a dual-purpose solution that other designs like tapped lands can't match."

"These cards highlight the unique aspects of the clans since their last appearance, from the action-oriented Jeskai monks to the protective Naga of the Sultai, showcasing the diversity and evolution of Tarkir's cultures."

Recent Magic sets have faced criticism for relying too heavily on thematic gimmicks, but *Tarkir: Dragonstorm* offers a refreshing return to the plane's roots. Senior Worldbuilding Art Director Forrest Schehl acknowledges this feedback, stating, "The core concept for Tarkir was set long before *Murders at Karlov Manor* and subsequent releases. We aimed to blend Dragons and Clans in a novel way, ensuring authenticity and substance in our return to Tarkir."

Tarkir: Dragonstorm is available for preorder now, with an official release date set for April 11 in both physical and digital formats, and in-store prerelease events starting on April 4.
