''Dragons of Tarkir'' is designed to be drafted with ''[[Fate Reforged]]'' but not with ''[[Khans of Tarkir]]''.<ref>{{EzTumblr|http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/92957516773/what-do-you-mean-by-small-set-is-drafted-with-both|title=What do you mean by "small set is drafted with both large sets"?|July 26, 2014}}</ref> Also, ''Dragons of Tarkir'' did not [[rotation|rotate]] out of [[Standard]] with ''[[Khans of Tarkir]]'' and ''[[Fate Reforged]]'', but instead rotated out with ''[[Magic Origins]]'' due to [[Standard]]'s regulation changes. To differentiate the drafting experience from ''Khans of Tarkir'' / ''Fate Reforged'', ''Dragons of Tarkir'' was designed around 5 sets of [[allied]] color pairs.<ref>{{DailyRef|making-magic/imagine-dragons-part-1-2015-03-02|Imagine Dragons, Part 1|[[Mark Rosewater]]|March 2, 2015}}</ref> Khans of Tarkir was a slow, three-color [[wedge]] format where enemy colors are the typical starting point, whereas Dragons draft leans slightly to allied colors, but players can find some enemy color payoffs in Fate Reforged. | |||
''Dragons of Tarkir'' | ''Dragons of Tarkir'' contains 264 cards (15 basic lands - 5 less than ''Khans of Tarkir''<ref>{{DailyRef|arcana/dragons-tarkir-basically-2015-03-12|''Dragons of Tarkir'', Basically|[[Blake Rasmussen]]|March 12, 2015}}</ref>, 101 commons, 80 uncommons, 53 rares, 15 mythic rares) and includes randomly inserted [[premium]] versions <ref>{{DailyRef|looking-closer-dragons-tarkir-premium-foil-cards-2015-04-08|Looking Closer at ''Dragons of Tarkir'' Premium Foil Cards|[[Trick Jarrett]]|April 8, 2015}}</ref> of all cards. Like the one from ''[[Scourge]]'' before, the [[expansion symbol]] of ''Dragons of Tarkir'' represents a [[dragon]]'s head. This set is supposed to be the ultimate "dragon set".<ref>{{DailyRef|making-magic/imagine-dragons-part-2-2015-03-09|Imagine Dragons, Part 2|[[Mark Rosewater]]|March 9, 2015}}</ref> There are more than twice as many dragons in it than in any other set and they appear in all colors.

''Dragons of Tarkir'' | Each of the five clans known from the previous sets is now integrated with one of the Dragon broods. Only the icons of the broods, first seen in ''Fate Reforged'', appear as [[watermark]]s in the text boxes of the cards. The clan symbols have disappeared.<ref>{{DailyRef|arcana/dragon-clan-symbols-vs-khans-clan-symbols-2015-03-05|Dragon Clan Symbols vs. Khans Clan Symbols|[[Blake Rasmussen]]|March 5, 2015}}</ref> The icons have no effect on gameplay.<ref name="mechanics">{{DailyRef|feature/mechanics-dragons-tarkir-2015-03-02|Mechanics of ''Dragons of Tarkir''|[[Matt Tabak]]|March 2, 2015}}</ref> There are several "crossover cards" that present alternate versions of characters and situations from the previous timeline. | ||

''Dragons of Tarkir'' is sold in 16-card [[boosters]] (the 16th card being a [[marketing card]]), five [[intro packs]], an [[event deck]] and a [[fat pack]].

====Prerelease==== | ====Prerelease==== | ||
< | The ''Dragons of Tarkir'' [[prerelease]] took place on March 21–22, 2015. As a special gimmick, each participating store received a '''Tarkir Dragonfury''' playing board with character pieces that stand upright on them.<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/tarkir-dragonfury-explanation-2015-02-24|Tarkir Dragonfury Explanation|[[Gavin Verhey]]|February 24, 2015}}</ref> The board is a Tarkir landscape, and the pieces can be knocked down by a throw with a special [[spindown life counter]], themed to the breath weapon of one of the five Tarkir dragonlords. Each piece has a point value on it, and the player gets points equal to the total number they knock down. If the [[dice|die]] ends up in the central circle, the score is doubled. Every player gets two rolls (resetting the board between each roll). Depending on the highest score, up to four [[alternate art]] [[promotional card]]s can be won: a land, a common, an uncommon, and a rare. | ||
Players choose a [[clan]]. Each player received a Seeded Prerelease pack that had everything they needed to build their [[sealed deck]]. | |||

[[Bolster]] and [[Dash]] returned from ''[[Fate Reforged]]'', as the mechanics for the green-white Dromoka and black-red Kolaghan clans, respectively.<ref name="mechanics"/><ref>{{DailyRef|latest-developments/time-travel-aint-easy-2015-01-30|Time Travel Ain't Easy|[[Sam Stoddard]]| January 30, 2015}}</ref> | |||
[[Rebound]] was repeated from the ''[[Rise of the Eldrazi]]'' set, and became the mechanic of the white-blue Ojutai clan. | |||
In addition three new mechanics were featured:<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/dragons-tarkir-release-notes-2015-03-18|''Dragons of Tarkir'' Release Notes|March 18, 2015}}</ref> | |||
*[[Exploit]] {{-}} When a creature with exploit enters the battlefield, you may sacrifice a creature you control. Each creature with exploit has another ability that gives you a benefit when it "exploits a creature." Exploit is the signature ability of the blue-black Silumgar clan. | |||
*[[Formidable]] {{-}} Creatures with this [[ability word]] care in some way about controlling creatures with total power 8 or greater. Formidable is the signature mechanic of the red-green Atarka clan. | |||
*[[Megamorph]] {{-}} This is basically [[morph]] with an extra bonus. Turning creatures face up by paying their megamorph cost puts a [[+1/+1 counter]] on the creature. | |||

*<c>Collected Company</c> gives instant-speed gameplay and reasonable selection for creature-heavy decks, specifically ones that look for combos. | |||

Dragons of Tarkir is the 67th Magic expansion, and the third and last in the Khans of Tarkir block. It was released March 27, 2015.[2] Dragons of Tarkir is a large expansion.
Set details
“ | Your Dragon, Their Doom | ” |
Dragons of Tarkir is designed to be drafted with Fate Reforged but not with Khans of Tarkir.[3] Also, Dragons of Tarkir did not rotate out of Standard with Khans of Tarkir and Fate Reforged, but instead rotated out with Magic Origins due to Standard's regulation changes. To differentiate the drafting experience from Khans of Tarkir / Fate Reforged, Dragons of Tarkir was designed around 5 sets of allied color pairs.[4] Khans of Tarkir was a slow, three-color wedge format where enemy colors are the typical starting point, whereas Dragons draft leans slightly to allied colors, but players can find some enemy color payoffs in Fate Reforged.
Dragons of Tarkir contains 264 cards (15 basic lands - 5 less than Khans of Tarkir[5], 101 commons, 80 uncommons, 53 rares, 15 mythic rares) and includes randomly inserted premium versions [6] of all cards. Like the one from Scourge before, the expansion symbol of Dragons of Tarkir represents a dragon's head. This set is supposed to be the ultimate "dragon set".[7] There are more than twice as many dragons in it than in any other set and they appear in all colors. It also contains many cards that reference Dragons and care about Dragons.[8][9][10]
Each of the five clans known from the previous sets is now integrated with one of the Dragon broods. Only the icons of the broods, first seen in Fate Reforged, appear as watermarks in the text boxes of the cards. The clan symbols have disappeared.[11] The icons have no effect on gameplay.[12] There are several "crossover cards" that present alternate versions of characters and situations from the previous timeline.

Storyline
After Sarkhan Vol has done his duty in the past, the story now returns to the present of Tarkir. But it seems that changing the past has produced some unexpected results.[13] Mighty Dragons now rule the skies and the five clans that comprise most of Tarkir's populace.[14][15] Known characters have an altered fate; Zurgo is just a puny orc and Narset has not died at all, but became a planeswalker instead.
The clans
Clan name | Parallel | Colors | Dragon Aspect | Mechanic | Symbol | Dragonlord |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Dromoka | The Abzan Houses | Endurance | Bolster | Scale of the dragon | Dragonlord Dromoka | |
Ojutai | The Jeskai Way | Cunning | Rebound | Eye of the dragon | Dragonlord Ojutai | |
Silumgar | The Sultai Brood | Ruthlessness | Exploit | Fang of the dragon | Dragonlord Silumgar | |
Kolaghan | The Mardu Horde | Speed | Dash | Wing of the dragon | Dragonlord Kolaghan | |
Atarka | The Temur Frontier | Savagery | Formidable | Claw of the dragon | Dragonlord Atarka |
Marketing
Dragons of Tarkir is sold in 16-card boosters (the 16th card being a marketing card), five intro packs, an event deck and a fat pack. The boosters feature art from Dragonlord Atarka, Dragonlord Kolaghan, Icefall Regent, Sarkhan, Unbroken and Narset Transcendent.[16]
Prerelease
The Dragons of Tarkir prerelease took place on March 21–22, 2015. As a special gimmick, each participating store received a Tarkir Dragonfury playing board with character pieces that stand upright on them.[17] The board is a Tarkir landscape, and the pieces can be knocked down by a throw with a special spindown life counter, themed to the breath weapon of one of the five Tarkir dragonlords. Each piece has a point value on it, and the player gets points equal to the total number they knock down. If the die ends up in the central circle, the score is doubled. Every player gets two rolls (resetting the board between each roll). Depending on the highest score, up to four alternate art promotional cards can be won: a land, a common, an uncommon, and a rare.
Players choose a clan. Each player received a Seeded Prerelease pack that had everything they needed to build their sealed deck.
Promotional cards
- Tarkir Dragonfury: Evolving Wilds, Dragon Fodder, Dragonlord's Servant and Foe-Razer Regent[18]
- Launch promo: Deathbringer Regent
- Game Day Participation Prize: Scaleguard Sentinels
- Game Day Top 8 Prize: Thunderbreak Regent
- Buy-a-Box: Ojutai's Command
- Prerelease, one of forty according to the chosen clan:
Tokens, emblems and overlay cards
The sixteenth card in the boosters can be a token, emblem, or overlay card, with an advertisement on the backside.[19] The overlay card can be used on face-down Megamorph cards to remind players of their power and toughness and that it can be turned face-up for its Megamorph cost.[12]
- 1/1 Warrior for Secure the Wastes
- 2/2 Djinn with flying for Ojutai's Summons and Skywise Teachings
- 2/2 Zombie for Necromaster Dragon and Rakshasa Gravecaller
- */* Zombie Horror for Corpseweft
- 4/4 Dragon with flying for Descent of the Dragons, Dragon Whisperer and Sarkhan Unbroken
- 1/1 Goblin for Dragon Fodder
- Morph overlay card
- Emblem for Narset Transcendent
Themes and mechanics
Obviously, Dragons mattered in this set.[20]
Bolster and Dash returned from Fate Reforged, as the mechanics for the green-white Dromoka and black-red Kolaghan clans, respectively.[12][21]
Rebound was repeated from the Rise of the Eldrazi set, and became the mechanic of the white-blue Ojutai clan.
In addition three new mechanics were featured:[22]
- Exploit — When a creature with exploit enters the battlefield, you may sacrifice a creature you control. Each creature with exploit has another ability that gives you a benefit when it "exploits a creature." Exploit is the signature ability of the blue-black Silumgar clan.
- Formidable — Creatures with this ability word care in some way about controlling creatures with total power 8 or greater. Formidable is the signature mechanic of the red-green Atarka clan.
- Megamorph — This is basically morph with an extra bonus. Turning creatures face up by paying their megamorph cost puts a +1/+1 counter on the creature.
Card types
The set sees the return of the elder type, which is used for the Dragonlords.
