One of the five Clans of Tarkir, the Sultai Brood admires the ancient dragons' aspect of ruthlessness. The fang of the dragon is its symbol, [1] Their color wedge is black (focus color), green and blue. [2] [3]
Description
The Sultai Brood is a decadent and merciless clan which lurks in ancient palaces in the steaming jungles of Tarkir. After striking a deal with the demonic Rakshasa, they employ necromancy to fuel their schemes of dominating the other clans. [4] The clan rules from Kheru Temple, deep in the jungles. [5]
1,280 years in the past, the clan was still ruled by humans but due to the actions of their khan at the time it fell from grace and was quickly taken over by the Naga and Rakshasa. In the new timeline created by Sarkhan Vol saving Ugin, Tasigur was manipulated by the Rakshasa and Naga into a series of events that eventually lead him to offend them, causing their deference. Without means to control the clan's zombies and defenseless from attacks by the Abzan and Jeskai, Tasigur was forced to make a deal with Silumgar's brood, leading them to attack the khan meeting that took place several years later. Following this, Tasigur survived and the Nagas returned, but the Sultai were utterly enslaved by the dragons, ending their identity as anything besides Silumgar's undead servants. [6]
Mechanics
Sultai cards will feature a mechanic that allows them to manipulate resources.[4] This was later revealed to be the re-introduction of delve (originally featured in Future Sight), an ability enabling players to exile cards from the graveyard to reduce the cost of spells.
Khans
Both timelines
- Tasigur, a human khan of the past. After betraying the other khans to the dragons, Tasigur was rewarded for this by becoming Silumgar's personal slave, his trophy of war. [6] His preserved corpse is later seen as part of Silumgar's necklace.
Old timeline
- The naga Sidisi considered herself the queen of the Sultai and aimed to gather all the clans under her banner. In the new timeline, however, she is reduced to one of Silumgar's undead slaves.
Other members
- Taigam, human known as Sidisi's Hand, the personal enforcer of the Sultai khan. He is the former student of Narset, khan of the Jeskai
- Khudai, a rakshasa ally of Tasigur.
- Feyomsi, a rakshasa sorcerer and necromancer that personally teached Sidisi. He governed the necropolis of Ukud.
- Ebirri, a rakshasa with whom Taigam made a pact. [7]

Trivia
The culture of the Sultai Brood is loosely based on the Cambodian steamy jungle pleasure palaces. [9]
