The Lore Behind Dragonstorm
The storm is here. Tarkir: Dragonstorm picks up in the wake of Dragons of Tarkir, where the plane was ruled by five ruthless Dragonlords. For years, rebels fought to break free from draconic tyranny, but their efforts weren’t enough—until now.
With Ugin gone, off battling the Eldrazi in a different conflict, and the devastating losses dragons suffered during the Phyrexian invasion, the tides finally began to shift. Desperate for victory, the rebellion leaders gathered at the Spirit Dragon’s Nexus and performed a daring ritual. Their call was answered—five spirit dragons emerged, powerful enough to challenge the Dragonlords. But their summoning came with an unforeseen cost: the Dragonstorm, an uncontrollable force birthing wild, untamed dragons into the world.
The chaos didn’t stop at Tarkir. The Dragonstorm’s impact ripped through the Omen Paths, unleashing dragons onto planes unprepared for their fury. From the massive Dragonhawk terrorizing Bloomburrow to the devastating attack at the Aetherdrift Grand Prix, nowhere is safe.
Sensing the growing threat, Elspeth steps in. She tracks the Dragonstorms back to Tarkir, determined to end them before they spiral out of control. There, she finds Narset, now the leader of the Jeskai, fighting to protect her home from the storm’s relentless destruction.
But not everyone wants to see the dragons fall. Sarkhan, forever devoted to draconic rule, stands in their way. He sees the Dragonstorms as Tarkir’s destiny, believing dragons are the plane’s rightful rulers. With an army of newly spawned dragons at his back, he won’t let Elspeth and Narset undo what’s already begun.
The battle lines are drawn. Sarkhan’s dragon horde vs. the Planeswalkers. The fate of Tarkir—and the multiverse—hangs in the balance.

And yes, Fetch Lands return as special guest cards—but if you’re lucky enough, you might pull one in the stunning new Dragonscale Foil treatment.
The Return of Ugin & Legendary Reprints
Ugin’s presence looms large in Dragonstorm, and with it comes a brand-new Planeswalker card: Ugin, Eye of Storms – A force of nature encapsulated in one powerful card.

New Mechanics – Power of the Clans
The clans of Tarkir return, each bringing a brand-new mechanic to the battlefield:
Endures (Abzan) – When your creatures fall, your warriors only grow stronger. (+1/+1 counters or summoning spirit tokens)
Flurry (Jeskai) – Magic is about momentum. Cast multiple spells in a turn and gain game-changing bonuses.
Mobilize (Mardu) – Charge into battle! Attack and instantly summon an army of warrior tokens.
Renew (Sultai) – Turn the dead into something even deadlier, buffing creatures from beyond the grave.
Harmonize (Temur) – Keep your spells in motion. Recast them from the graveyard by tapping into your creatures’ power.
And of course, what would a dragon-themed set be without a way to actually play your dragons?
Omen – Every dragon has an additional ability you can use before you even have the mana to summon them. (Draw cards, set up plays, and cycle your way to victory.)
Behold – Show off a dragon in your hand or battlefield and reap instant rewards. (Like free treasure tokens!)
Also introducing:
Hybrid Mana Costs – More flexibility in deck building. Spend two colorless in place of that Mana that is eluding you.
Sieges – Choose your allegiance when you play these enchantments, unlocking different abilities depending on the clan you side with.
