Scheduled for release on April 11, with prerelease events starting on April 4, Tarkir: Dragonstorm promises a thrilling return to the world of Tarkir. Here's an exclusive look at five cards expected to make waves at the draft tables next month. (Preorders are now available on Amazon).

Magic: The Gathering - 5 New Cards from Tarkir: Dragonstorm

6 ImagesThese five cards form a "cycle," each representing one of Magic's colors and sharing design elements. They are common-rarity creatures that not only provide immediate board presence but also assist in mana fixing, crucial for Tarkir's three-color clan dynamics.

Senior Game Designer Adam Prosak from Wizards of the Coast explains, “Three-color limited environments need ample mana fixing across all rarities. We designed these creatures to allow players to develop their board while also solving mana issues, unlike other designs that may only focus on mana and leave you behind in the game.”
