MTG's Tarkir: Dragonstorm - Every Card, Commander Decks, Special Guests Visual Spoilers

It’s been ten long years since we were last on Tarkir in Magic: The Gathering, and the plane’s changed a lot since then. The five dragonlords have been defeated, and the citizens of Tarkir have reconnected with their older clans, and the Abzan, Jeskai, Sultai, Mardu, and Temur have risen again.

Tarkir: Dragonstorm aims to combine the Dragons and stompiness of Dragons of Tarkir, with the clans and three-colour focus of Khans of Tarkir. With a gorgeous, Asian-inspired world, familiar faces, and already a few powerful cards, this is one of the most highly anticipated Magic sets ahead of its release on April 11.

Tarkir: Dragonstorm’s previews run through March 28, and we’ll be updating this article as new cards are revealed.

Latest Reveals – March 18, 2025

Maelstrom of the Spirit Dragon by Carlos Palma Cruchaga

We made it through Aetherdrift and are finally back to the good stuff: Tarkir. Today’s debut gave us all five of the new mechanics tied to each of the clans, a look at the Commander decks, and even all ten of the special guests. If this first day is any indication on the rest of the set, Tarkir: Dragonstorm could well be one to get very excited about.

White

Community drives all of Tarkir, but nobody comes close to the three white-using clans of the Abzan, Jeskai, and Mardu. Everything they do is for their clans, their ancestors, and their ways of life, as you can see from these white cards.

Image	Name And Description
	Anafenza, Unyielding Lineage Two generic legendary creature – Spirit Soldier – 2/2 – Rare Flash First strike Whenever another nontoken creature you control dies, Anafenza endures 2. (Put two +1/+1 counters on it or create a 2/2 white Spirit creature token.)

Blue

Blue’s focus on knowledge drives the Jeskai, Sultai, and Temur clans very differently. In the Jeskai we see it as a flurry of spells cast one after the other, while the Temur like to go big with large, expensive spells. Meanwhile, the Sultai like to pull resources from anywhere, including their dead.

Image	Name And Description
	Marang River Regent//Coil And Catch Four generic, two blue creature – Dragon – 6/7 – Rare Flying When this creature enters, return up to two other target nonland permanents to their owners’ hands.

Black

Felothar, Dawn of the Abzan by Victor Adame Minguez

It’s a common misconception that black in Magic means evil. The Abzan, Mardu, and Sultai aren’t evil, but they’re fiercly protective of their own, and are ready to do anything it takes to look after themselves.

Image	Name And Description
	Qarsi Revenant One generic, two black creature – Vampire – 3/3 – Rare Flying, deathtouch, lifelink Renew – Two generic, one black, Exile this card from your graveyard: Put a flying counter, a deathtouch counter, and a lifelink counter on target creature. Activate only as a sorcery.

Tap, Sacrifice a creature you control with mana value X other than Sidisi: Return target creature with mana value X plus 1 from your graveyard to the battlefield. Activate only as a sorcery.

Red

Narset, Jeskai Waymaster by Randy Vargas

Fiery passion drives the Jeskai, Mardu, and Temur. In the Jeskai it comes out in fast-paced spellcasting and living in the moment with mechanics like prowess, but in the Mardu it is direct, focused damage against their foes. The Temur make use of one of red’s most iconic creature types, with Dragons a large part of their gameplan.

Image	Name And Description
	Dracogenesis Six generic, two red enchantment – Mythic Rare You may cast Dragon spells without paying their mana costs.
	Equilibrium Adept Three generic, one red creature – Dog Monk – 2/4 – Uncommon When this creature enters, exile the top card of your library. Until the end of your next turn, you may play that card. Flurry – Whenever you cast your second spell each turn, this creature gains double strike until end of turn.
	Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant One generic, one red legendary creature – Human Druid – 2/2 – Rare When Sarkhan enters, you may behold a Dragon. If you do, create a Treasure token. (To behold a Dragon, choose a Dragon you control or reveal a Dragon card from your hand.) Whenever a Dragon you control enters, put a +1/+1 counter on Sarkhan. Until end of turn, Sarkhan becomes a Dragon in addition to its other types and gains flying.
	Stormscale Scion Four generic, two red creature – Dragon – 4/4 – Mythic Rare Flying Other Dragons you control get +1/+1. Storm (When you cast this spell, copy it for each spell cast before it this turn. Copies become tokens.)

Green

Green is a reverent colour, respecting the gradual growth of all things and the conservation of what once was. The Abzan and Sultai honour their dead in very different ways, but this respect ofr history is a big part of both clans. Meanwhile, the Temur respect the forces of nature, and call upon the fierceness of the wild for their protection.

Image	Name And Description
	Craterhoof Behemoth Five generic, three green creature – Beast – 5/5 – Mythic Rare Haste When this creature enters, creatures you control gain trample and get +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of creatures you control.

Image

Craterhoof Behemoth

Five generic, three green creature – Beast – 5/5 – Mythic Rare

Haste

When this creature enters, creatures you control gain trample and get +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of creatures you control.

Multicolour

Teval, Arbiter of Virtue by Alexander Ostrowski

A set on Tarkir without its five clans would almost be as bad as a set on Ravnica where everyone is inexplicably detectives. Fortunately, Tarkir: Dragonstorm is all-in on the clans, giving them slightly new looks while maintaining their unique mechanics and identities.

As Tarkir is so heavily focused on its three-colour cards, we’ve split this section into each clan.

Image	Name And Description
	Barrensteppe Siege Two generic, one white, one black enchantment – Rare As this enchantment enters, choose Abzan or Mardu. – Abzan – At the beginning of your end step, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control. – Mardu – At the beginning of your end step, if a creature died under your control this turn, each opponent sacrifices a creature of their choice.

Then if creatures you control have total toughness 20 or greater, untap each creature you control. Then if creatures you control have total toughness 40 or greater, each opponent loses half their life, rounded up.
	Skirmish Rhino One white, one black, one green creature – Rhino – 3/4 – Uncommon Trample When this creature enters, each opponent loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.
Jeskai

Whenever Kotis deals combat damage to a player, exile the top X cards of their library, where X is the amount of damage dealt. You may cast any number of spells with mana value X or less from among them without paying their mana costs.
	Rakshasa’s Bargain Two generic/one black hybrid, two generic/one green hybrid, two generic/one blue hybrid instant – Uncommon Look at the top four cards of your library. Put two of them into your hand and the rest into your graveyard.

Temur
	Ureni, the Song Unending Five generic, one green, one blue, one red legendary creature – Spirit Dragon – 10/10 – Mythic Rare Flying, protection from white and from black. When Ureni enters, it deals X damage divided as you choose among any number of target creatures and/or planeswalkers your opponents control, where X is the number of lands you control.

Colourless

Ugin, Eye of the Storm by Joshua Raphael

Though Tarkir is known for its three-colour clans, it’s also largely known for being the home of the spirit dragon planeswalker Ugin. He’s back in this set after a few years babysitting Nicol Bolas in the Meditation Realm, and his card is a must-have for colourless decks.

We’ve also got a new Mox. This one is severely nerfed compared to the power nine, though, as it does require you to have a Dragon in play. Still, a zero-mana artifact is nothing to sneeze at, even if you can’t use it to produce mana.

Image	Name And Description
	Mox Jasper Zero generic legendary artifact – Mythic Rare Tap: Add one mana of any color. Activate only if you control a Dragon.
	Ugin, Eye of the Storms Seven generic legendary planeswalker – Ugin – 7 Starting Loyalty – Mythic Rare When you cast this spell, exile up to one target permanent that’s one or more colors. Whenever you cast a colorless spell, exile up to one target permanent that’s one or more colors. +2: You gain 3 life and draw a card. 0: Add three colorless mana. -11: Search your library for any number of colorless nonland cards, exile them, then shuffle. Until end of turn, you may cast those cards without paying their mana costs.
Lands
	Maelstrom of the Spirit Dragon Land – Rare Tap: Add one colorless mana. Tap: Add one mana of any color. Spend this mana only to cast a Dragon spell or an Omen spell. Four generic, Tap, Sacrifice this land: Search your library for a Dragon card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.

Special Guests

This set’s special guests include two all-timer cycles of cards for three-colour decks. First are the enemy fetchlands, which can also be found in Collector boosters in an exclusive dragonscale foiling treatment. These are a great way to smooth your mana, which is vital when running decks with three colours.

Second are a cycle of cards we first saw in Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths. These are the ultimatums, expensive three-colour game finishers in each of the five clan’s colours. While some are certainly better than others, art by Dominik Mayer never, ever misses.

Image	Name And Description
	Marsh Flats Land – Mythic Rare Tap, Pay 1 life, Sacrifice this land: Search your library for a Plains or Swamp card, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle.
	Scalding Tarn Land – Mythic Rare Tap, Pay 1 life, Sacrifice this land: Search your library for an Island or Mountain card, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle.

An opponent chooses one of those cards. Shuffle that card into your library. You may cast the other cards without paying their mana costs. Exile Emergent Ultimatum.
	Ruinous Ultimatum Two red, threee white, two black sorcery – Mythic Rare Destroy all nonland permanents your opponents control.
	Genesis Ultimatum Two green, three blue, two red sorcery – Mythic Rare Look at the top five cards of your library. Put any number of permanent cards from among them onto the battlefield and the rest into your hand. Exile Genesis Ultimatum.

Commander Decks

Tarkir: Dragonstorm’s commander precons work a little differently to previous sets. For starters, we’re returning to the bumper crop of five decks of old, with, as you’d expect, one deck focused on each of the clans.

However, a more interesting part of these releases is that, instead of having one face commander and one backup, both commanders are given equal billing. Both are designed to work with the deck just as well as the other, so it’s entirely up to you who you run.

Abzan Armor

The Abzan Armor deck is all about the big butts, with a toughness-matters theme that wants you to play defenders and use their meaty toughness to deal big damage. Alternatively, Betor, Ancestor’s Voice, turns the deck into more of a recursion-focused one, with a way to reliably bring creatures back from the graveyard.

Felothar the Steadfast

One generic, one white, one black, one green legendary creature – Human Warrior – 0/5 – Mythic Rare

Each creature you control assigns combat damage equal to its toughness rather than its power.

Creatures you control can attack as though they didn’t have defender.

Three generic, Tap, Sacrifice another creature: Draw cards equal to the sacrificed creature’s toughness, then discard cards equal to its power.
Betor, Ancestor’s Voice

Two generic, one white, one black, one green legendary creature – Spirit Dragon – 3/5 – Mythic Rare

Flying, lifelink

At the beginning of your end step, put a number of +1/+1 counters on up to one other target creature you control equal to the amount of life you gained this turn. Return up to one target creature card with mana value less than or equal to the amount of life you lost this turn from your graveyard to the battlefield.

Jeskai Striker

Flurry is the new Jeskai mechanic of Tarkir: Dragonstorm, and this deck leans into that theme hard by having you cast multiple spells each turn. Elsha pays off using the more traditional prowess, producing a ton of Monk tokens when they connect eith an opponent. Meanwhile, Shiko and Narset has a flurry trigger that lets you copy the second spell you cast each turn.

Elsha, Threefold Master

One blue, one red, one white legendary creature – Djinn Monk – 1/1 – Mythic Rare

Sultai Arisen

The Sultai probably received the most radical overhaul in this new visit to Tarkir, but this deck is as classic Sultai as it gets. You’re filling the graveyard and flooding the board with Zombie tokens. Kotis lets you effectively escape creatures each turn, whule buffing Kotis up in the process. Teval leans into that too, by having you mill cards and pulling lands back, all while making those Zombies the Sultai love so much.

Kotis, Sibsig Champion

One black, one green, one blue legendary creature – Zombie Warrior – 3/3 – Mythic Rare

Once during each of your turns, you may cast a creature spell from your graveyard by exiling three other cards in your graveyard in addition to paying its other costs.

Whenever one or more creatures you control enter, if one or more of them entered from a graveyard or was cast from a graveyard, put two +1/+1 counters on Kotis.
Teval, the Balanced Scale

One generic, one black, one green, one blue legendary creature – Spirit Dragon – 4/4 – Mythic Rare

Flying

Whenever Teval attacks, mill three cards. Then you may return a land card from your graveyard ot the battlefield tapped.

Whenever one or more cards leave your graveyard, create a 2/2 black Zombie Druid creature token.

Mardu Surge

The Mardu are all about coordinated attacks, and Mardue Surge plays into that with a go-wide token deck that not only wants you to swing, but also sacrifice those tokens for extra profit. Zurgo can easily produce and kill off tokens with his mobilize keyword, while Neriv wants you to spread things out and make as many tokens as you can for big hand advantage.

Zurgo Stormrender

One red, one white, one black legendary creature – Orc Warrior – 3/3 – Mythic Rare

Mobilize 1 (Whenever this creature attacks, create a tapped and attacking 1/1 red Warrior creature token. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.)

Whenever a creature token you control leaves the battlefield, draw a card if it was attacking. Otherwise, each opponent loses 1 life.
Neriv, Crackling Vanguard

Two generic, one red, one white, one black legendary creature – Spirit Dragon – 4/4 – Mythic Rare

Flying, deathtouch

When Neriv enters, create two 1/1 red Goblin creature tokens.

When Neriv attacks, exile any number of cards from the top of your library equal to the number of differently named tokens you control. During any turn you attacked with a commander, you may play those cards.

Temur Roar

Temur love two things: big mana and bigger spells. But this take on Temur doesn’t just want you to ramp and play big stompers, it has a subtheme focused entirely on Dragon kindred. Ureni filters through your deck for a Dragon and puts it into play for free, while Ehsiki prefers you play them more fairly, rewarding you with direct damage, card draw, and +1/+1 counters for the Temur khan.

Eshiki, Temur’s Roar

One green, one blue, one red legendary creature – Human Warrior – 2/2 – Mythic Rare

Whenever you cast a creature spell, put a +1/+1 counter on Eshki. If that spell’s power is 4 or greater, draw a card. If that spell’s power is 6 or greater, Eshki deals damage equal to Eshki’s power to each opponent.
Ureni of the Unwritten

Four generic, one green, one blue, one red legendary creature – Spirit Dragon – 7/7 – Mythic Rare

Flying, trample

Whenever Ureni enters or attacks, look at the top eight cards of your library. You may put a Dragon creature from among them onto the battlefield. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
