Khans of Tarkir is the 65th Magic expansion, and the first in the Khans of Tarkir block. It was released on September 26, 2014. Khans of Tarkir is a large expansion.[2]

Set details

“  Raise your Banner  ”

Khans of Tarkir is part of the Khans of Tarkir block, which is Large-Small-Large with a unique draft structure (the small set is drafted with both large sets, but the large sets are never drafted together) [3] and a time-traveling element. The draft structure is the first thing from which Khans of Tarkir set was built.[4]

Khans of Tarkir contains 269 cards (20 basic lands,[5] 101 commons, 80 uncommons, 53 rares, 15 mythic rares), and includes randomly inserted premium versions of all cards. It is also the first set since Dragon's Maze to not have any Dragon creature cards. The expansion symbol depicts crossed swords on a shield, similar to the symbol of Legions.

Because of post-release changes in the block structure in 2015, Khans of Tarkir was only played in Standard for 18 months.[6]

Flavor and storyline

Main article: Tarkir

Tarkir is an embattled world of ambitious warlords and powerful clans that wage eternal war for supremacy over their plane in a conflict that spans a thousand years. Tarkir is also the home plane of Sarkhan Vol. The plane was previously inhabited by dragons, all of whom were killed long before Sarkhan's time.[7] The clans each worship one aspect of the extinct dragons.[8]

The clans

The clans are represented through the enemy wedge colors and aspects as follows:[9][10]

Name Colors Dragon Aspect Mechanic Symbol Khan
The Abzan Houses White manaBlack manaGreen mana Endurance Outlast Scale of the dragon Anafenza, the Foremost
The Jeskai Way Blue manaRed manaWhite mana Cunning Prowess Eye of the dragon Narset, Enlightened Master
The Sultai Brood Black manaGreen manaBlue mana Ruthlessness Delve Fang of the dragon Sidisi, Brood Tyrant
The Mardu Horde Red manaWhite manaBlack mana Speed Raid Wing of the dragon Zurgo Helmsmasher
The Temur Frontier Green manaBlue manaRed mana Savagery Ferocious Claw of the dragon Surrak Dragonclaw

Notice that while the shards of Alara were centered around the color that had both allies, the wedges of Tarkir are not built around the color that has the two enemies. When the design team built the clans to match the flavor of the dragon attributes and the creative take on the clans, they found that they centered not on the enemy color but on one of the ally colors. It was said that everything worked so naturally, that they felt it was best to leave it be and not force it another way.[11] By shifting the mana costs such that the enemy pairs were sitting next to each other in mana costs, it became a little easier to recognize that each wedge was made up of two enemy-color combinations.[12] Small hints were placed through this set and the next towards the clans having a primary color and that the enemy color was least relevant and due to be removed. When the third set of the block was released, it became clear that the parallel of the alternate timeline clans were ally-colored. This was achieved by dropping the enemy color and appeared to be the real reason that the wedges of Khans were centered on an allied color.[13][14]

The clans are recognized by the use of watermarks on the cards.

Marketing

A preview of the set's artwork was aired during Pro Tour Journey into Nyx, following the quarterfinal rounds.[15] In it Mark Rosewater (Magic head designer) announced the return of something "that people have been asking [ Wizards ] to do for quite a while [...] after a long absence from magic" as well as the introduction of something that has been requested for a long time but had never been done before. These elements turned out to be morph and wedges, respectively, when the set was previewed at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, July 26, 2014. Mark Rosewater moderated a panel featuring Mark Purvis (Magic director of global brand marketing), Doug Beyer (Magic senior creative designer), and Gavin Verhey (Magic designer).[16][17][18]

Khans of Tarkir is sold in 16-card boosters (one card being a marketing card), five intro packs, one event deck and a fat pack. The boosters feature artwork from Sidisi, Brood Tyrant, Narset, Enlightened Master, Unyielding Krumar, War-Name Aspirant and Dragon Grip.[19] As of Khans of Tarkir, the face cards in Intro Packs will not just be premium rare cards, but alternate art premium rare cards that won't be found in booster packs.[20]

Prerelease

The Khans of Tarkir prerelease encouraged the player to affiliate with their clan.[21] You choose your clan for the prerelease. Each clan prerelease pack comes with a clan button and a clan sticker. The prerelease pack further contains 5 regular booster packs, 1 seeded booster pack, 1 premium promo card, 1 clan information card, 1 activity insert and 1 Spindown life counter. Khans of Tarkir will feature 40 prerelease cards — one dated and stamped prerelease card random from a pool of eight for each Clan pack. One of which will be the Khan. "Raise your banner": when a game is won, players can put their sticker on the clan banner in the store, to show off how many battles each clan has won.[22]

The sixteenth card in the boosters can be a token, emblem, or overlay card, with an advertisement on the backside. The overlay card can be used on face-down Morph cards to remind players of their power and toughness and that it can be turned face-up for its Morph cost.[24][25]

Themes and mechanics

The set centers around wedge colors. Each clan features its own mechanic. In addition all clans feature morph.[12][26]

  • The Abzan keyword is Outlast ((cost), The tap symbol.: Put a +1/+1 counter on this creature. Outlast only as a sorcery.). Cards may gain additional abilities when they get a +1/+1 counter.
  • The Jeskai keyword is Prowess: (whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn).
  • The Sultai keyword is the alternative payment method Delve, first seen in Future Sight (changed, like convoke, from previous rules as a cost reduction): (Each card you exile from your graveyard while casting this spell pays for 1 generic mana).[27]
  • The Mardu ability word Raid and related cards are all based around a very fast, aggressive strategy for winning. Raid gives an advantageous effect if you have attacked with a creature the same turn.
  • The Temur ability word is Ferocious, which gives the player an advantageous effect if they control a creature with power 4 or greater while attacking with a creature with Ferocious or casting a spell with it.

The set also features a minor White manaBlack mana warrior tribal theme.[28]

Phooey and "Borph"

During design, an alternate version of Khans of Tarkir (nicknamed "Phooey" ) was considered. It featured a new mechanic that was very similar to morph, but instead of three mana to cast the 2/2 face-down creature it cost two mana. R&D nicknamed that mechanic "borph" as in "bear morph" because Bears are slang for a vanilla 2/2 with a converted mana cost of 2.[29] With some modifications, "borph" eventually became the effect megamorph for Dragons of Tarkir.

Khans of Tarkir has thirteen cycles.

Card comparisons

Main article: Khans of Tarkir/Card comparisons

Notable cards

  • The cycle of three-color lands (e.g. Nomad Outpost) was useful for a three-color Standard format and in color-intensive decks like Niv-Mizzet Reborn focused decks in Pioneer until the triome lands were printed.
  • Hardened Scales is an innocuous but powerful card that became the focus of the eponymous deck in Modern mainly due to the interaction with Arcbound Ravager, giving the pilot the ability to put twice as much power as their total artifacts on any given artifact creature. It developed as an evolution of earlier Affinity decks when Mox Opal was banned.
  • Utter End was a staple removal spell in Standard control decks due to its versatility and ability to answer any permanent.
  • Clever Impersonator has been played in numerous combo decks in Pioneer where it combines well with cards such as Quintorius Kand, Fires of Invention, and Gyruda, Doom of Depths.
  • Deflecting Palm is a staple sideboard card in burn decks in Modern against the mirror and green creature decks.
  • Stubborn Denial sees significant play in Modern as a disruptive piece with Death Shadow, a creature that can have four power while only costing one mana.
  • Disdainful Stroke is a simple yet useful sideboard counterspell that has been played in Standard since it was printed and has often returned in various Standard sets since then.
  • Crackling Doom was a strong value removal card in Standard at the time and saw some play in Modern Mardu Pyromancer decks.
  • Jeskai Ascendancy is the face of an eponymous Pioneer combo deck that uses it to untap their mana creatures repeatedly until they are large enough to win the game.
  • Abzan Charm, Duneblast, Anafenza, the Foremost, Wingmate Roc and particularly Siege Rhino made up the core of an Abzan deck that dominated Standard.
  • Rattleclaw Mystic provided explosive ramp for Temur-colored aggro and ramp decks in Standard. It was intended to be one mana a la Noble Hierarch, but proved to be usable more as an Elvish Mystic rather than a Temur card, so it needed to be tamped down.[34]
  • Narset, Enlightened Master and Sidisi, Brood Tyrant are among the most popular commanders in their respective color identities in the casual Commander format.
  • Mantis Rider was heavily played in Jeskai aggro decks in Standard as a strong creature with lots of keywords and translated well into Modern Humans decks thanks to its creature type.
  • Savage Knuckleblade was notoriously hyped before the release of the set but went on to little competitive success, largely due to failing to face off against Siege Rhino in most contexts.

Delve spells

A "returning" mechanic from Future Sight, the colorless mana scaling proved difficult to grasp and balance when it became a main set mechanic, leading to half the cards printed in this set ranging from power players to format breakers.

  • Become Immense is a perfect card for various aggro decks by being a huge amount of burst damage for cheap, being used with Temur Battle Rage in Standard. It is occasionally also used in Modern decks that can cast it easily, particularly Infect decks that can kill in a single swing with the buff.
  • Murderous Cut is a deceptively strong removal spell that has seen play in Standard, Modern, and Legacy.
  • Hooting Mandrills has seen play in formats like Pioneer and Legacy where it can be played for only a few mana and then combined with spells like Neoform to fetch out a powerful seven mana creature.
  • Empty the Pits required significant reworking to prevent it from becoming a fast combo deck in a slow format.[35]
  • Dig Through Time and Treasure Cruise are two very powerful spells banned from almost every format they could be legal. Because in Modern and Legacy the graveyard can be filled very early thanks to fetch lands and low-cost spells and because of their delve ability, both the spells could regularly be cast at their cheapest. Dig Through Time helps combo and control decks to get the cards they need. Treasure Cruise most of the time was an Ancestral Recall and, in Modern and Pauper, all the metagame was shifted towards blue to play it for as long as it was legal.

Other banned and restricted cards

  • Monastery Swiftspear became an immediate staple of burn and red aggro decks in every format, as it can deal significantly more damage than most one-drop creatures. It was eventually banned in Pauper in 2023 to reduce the speed of red-based decks.
  • The reprinted Onslaught fetch lands were printed to balance out the mana in Modern. It caused problems in Standard with the Battle lands, forcing tournaments to add more time to the round-the-clock. The stress their power had on formats and future designs led to them being banned for the next nonrotating format Pioneer.

MTG Arena

The new 2/2 Zombie token.

On December 12, 2023, the set was imported into MTG Arena as the complete card file, in contrast to the Remastered blocks of Amonkhet, Kaladesh or Shadows over Innistrad. This is part of the "road to Pioneer".[38]

Creature type update

The Rakshasa received errata to no longer being Cats.[39] They were original because the non-Hindu perception was largely based on the Dungeons & Dragons' portrayal of them. However, authentic Rakshasa were shapeshifters that could take any form, so labeling them Cat Demons was not particularly accurate.

A change from Naga to Snake, which was announced at the same time[39], was implemented with the release of Modern Horizons 3.

The arena release also included new art for 2/2 Zombie token for Sidisi, Brood Tyrant and Empty the Pits. This is not listed on Scryfall.

Trivia

  • The original planned name for the set was Warlords of Khanar.[40][41] It was rejected on legal grounds.
