Tarkir: Dragonstorm MTG – Join Your Clan. Break the Storm
Magic: The Gathering is heading back to Tarkir with Tarkir: Dragonstorm, releasing on April 11, 2025. This set brings back the world of warrior clans and dragons, merging ideas from the Khans of Tarkir and the Dragons of Tarkir.
What's in Tarkir: Dragonstorm?
Tarkir is a land shaped by war and dragons. The five clans return, each tied to a three colour identity. This set also brings back popular mechanics, favourite cards, and new artwork that captures Tarkir's wild and powerful nature.
The Five Clans and How They Play
Each of Tarkir's clans has a distinct way of battling:
-
Abzan Houses (White, Black, Green) – Focuses on durability. The Endurance ability rewards creatures with high toughness, making them strong defenders that can also strike back.
-
Jeskai Way (Blue, Red, White) – Uses spells to control the game. The Flurry ability powers up when you cast multiple spells in a turn, making every move more effective.
-
Sultai Brood (Black, Green, Blue) – Plays with the graveyard. The Renew ability brings back spells or creatures, making sure your resources never go to waste.
-
Mardu Horde (Red, White, Black) – Loves fast attacks. The Mobilize ability keeps attacking creatures untapped, letting them strike and still be ready to block.
-
Temur Frontier (Green, Blue, Red) – Thrives on flexibility. The Harmonize ability lets you tap creatures to help cast spells from your graveyard, keeping the action going.
New Mechanics in the Set
Tarkir: Dragonstorm introduces fresh mechanics that fit the set's warrior and dragon themes:
-
Behold a Dragon – Triggers special effects when you control or reveal a Dragon, making Dragon-focused decks even stronger.
-
Endurance – Boosts high-toughness creatures, making them harder to take down.
-
Flurry – Makes each spell you cast in a turn more effective, encouraging fast-paced gameplay.
-
Mobilize – Keeps creatures untapped after attacking, allowing them to defend, too.
-
Renew – Brings spells or creatures back from the graveyard under certain conditions, a perfect fit for Sultai decks.
-
Harmonize – Lets you tap creatures to help pay for spells from the graveyard, adding another layer of strategy.
Key Cards in Tarkir: Dragonstorm
Tarkir: Dragonstorm brings in some exciting cards that could change the way people play:
-
Mox Jasper – A zero-cost artifact that taps for any colour of mana if you control a Dragon. Great for multicolour decks. Collector Boosters feature a serialized retro frame version of this card.
-
Betor, Kin to All – A legendary three-colour Dragon that strengthens decks using multiple colours. Perfect for midrange and ramp strategies.
-
Tempest Hawk – A creature you can have as many copies of in your deck as you want, making it ideal for swarm strategies.
-
Ancient Fanglord – A mythic rare Dragon that generates mana and draws cards when attacking, a must-have for Dragon decks.

The Look and Feel of the Set
The new set has incredible artwork. From Dragonscale Foil Lands to full-art alternate designs, the set highlights the fierce dragons and warriors that define the plane. Each piece of art brings out the dramatic battles and stunning landscapes that make Tarkir unforgettable.
Why This Set Stands Out
Tarkir: Dragonstorm is more than just a return to an old setting. The new mechanics and updated strategies offer something for both casual players and competitive players. If you love dragons, unique playstyles, or multicolour decks, this set is worth checking out.
For longtime Magic fans, the set brings back nostalgia with a twist. For new players, it introduces exciting strategies and dynamic gameplay that could shape future decks. With its mix of powerful creatures, new mechanics, and collector-worthy cards, Tarkir: Dragonstorm is shaping up to be one of the year's biggest releases.
