Maro’s Tarkir: Dragonstorm Teaser
Before previews for Tarkir: Dragonstorm officially begin, I thought it would be fun to do another of my Duelist-style teasers where I give tiny hints of things to come. Note that I’m only giving you partial information.
First up, here are some things you can expect:
• A cycle of Dragonstorm enchantments
• Two planeswalkers
• Some counters in the set: decayed, lifelink, and time
• A card that can tutor for one of two other cards
• A legendary enchantment
• A Hydra that uses a clan keyword
• A common archetype theme gets an ability word
• An instant the generates five effects
• Dragons get a new typal enchantment based on a popular Zombie one
• A new instant and sorcery subtype
Next, here are some rules text that will be showing up on cards:
• “Whenever you cast a Turtle spell, untap this creature.”
• “As long as there are three or more different kinds of counters among creatures you control,”
• “You may cast it without paying its mana cost if that spell’s mana value is 8 or less.”
• “If you put +1/+1 counters on five Dragons this way, you win the game.”
• “Whenever a creature you control enters, if you cast it, destroy that creature”
• “At the beginning of combat on your turn, if you’ve case both a creature spell and a noncreature spell this turn,”
• “Then if creatures you control have total toughness 20 or greater,”
• “During your end step, Warrior tokens you control have ‘This token can’t be sacrificed.’”
• “Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may search your library for a card named <CARDNAME>, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.”
• “Spells you cast have delve.”
Here are some creature type lines from the set:
• Creature – Dog Monk
• Creature – Elephant Druid
• Creature – Yeti
• Creature – Djinn Cleric
• Creature – Zombie Advisor
• Creature – Kirin
• Creature – Snake Shapeshifter
• Artifact Creature – Chimera
• Artifact Creature – Ape Snake
• Legendary Creature – Zombie Snake Warlock
Finally, here are some names in the set:
• All-Out Assault
• Cruel Truths
• Desperate Measures
• Dragonologist
• Hundred-Battle Veteran
• Lightfoot Technique
• Rescue Leopard
• Seize Opportunity
• Stillness in Motion
• War Effort
Tune into the Tarkir: Dragonstorm Debut stream on March 18th! Watch it on twitch.tv/magic at 10am PDT (Don’t forget, this weekend is Daylight saving time! So the US will shift their clocks forward 1 hour and the start time may be different than you expect as a result.)
Can’t see any potential issues there! Particularly in the older formats. Hopefully that card costs a ton and does not itself have Delve.
