Magic: The Gathering fans can test their decks at Prerelease events for Tarkir: Dragonstorm, the game’s newest expansion. On 11 April, the full set lands in hobby stores worldwide, plunging players back into the embattled plane of Tarkir where titanic dragonstorms reshape the land and five rival clans vie for dominance.
Tarkir has always been a crucible of conflict, but never before have dragonstorms raged so fiercely. These massive, magical tempests summon wild Spirit Dragons that shatter the old order and force heroes like Narset and Elspeth to seek a way to quell the chaos.
Meanwhile, the shape‑shifting planeswalker Sarkhan Vol embraces the storm’s power, and Jace ventures into the Meditation Realm in pursuit of secrets that could ripple across the multiverse.
At the heart of Dragonstorm are two thrilling new mechanics. Dragonstorm’s enchantments unleash devastating effects when they enter play, then return to your hand each time you cast a Dragon, ready to strike again.
The Omen subtype offers a dramatic choice: cast a modest spell that shuffles back into your library or summon a mighty Dragon to dominate the battlefield.
The return of Tarkir’s five clans brings fresh gameplay for every style. The Abzan’s Endure keyword adds +1/+1 counters or spawns Spirit tokens, while the Jeskai’s Flurry rewards you for chaining spells.
Sultai decks can Renew cards from the graveyard as potent sorceries, and Mardu’s Mobilize spawns additional attackers when you launch an assault. Temur players harness Harmonize to recast powerful creatures from the graveyard by tapping their allies.
For multiplayer enthusiasts, five new Commander decks arrive ready to play, each led by a legendary clan leader paired with a Spirit Dragon. Whether you champion Abzan endurance or Temur ferocity, these decks deliver a complete, thematic experience right out of the box.
Collectors will find plenty to covet in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters alike. The standout is Mox Jasper, a coveted artifact that any dragon‑focused deck will prize. Collector Boosters also hide Draconic treatments, a serialized Retro frame limited to 500 copies with exclusive Dan Frazier art, and a host of showcase cards including Dragonic‑framed rares, Borderless Clans legends and Ghostfire cards imbued with Ugin’s spectral might.
Six new reversible Borderless cards reveal both adorable and fearsome dragon art, and fetch lands return with a Tarkir twist—complete with textured Dragonscale Foil exclusive to Collector Boosters.
Finally, full‑art Basic Lands showcase the immense scale of Tarkir’s dragons in two distinct treatments, offering a breathtaking canvas for any deck.
Magic: The Gathering’s Tarkir: Dragonstorm includes Play Boosters, Collector Boosters, Commander Decks, Prerelease Packs and Bundles.
