Magic: The Gathering’s Crossovers
The last few years have proved that Magic: The Gathering thrives on creativity and diversity. From Fallout to Middle-Earth, the game has embraced various themes that intrigue players. Sets like Bloomburrow, featuring adorable critters, and the exciting Grand Prix race in Aetherdrift have captivated many. However, the online community often shows mixed feelings, demanding a return to traditional fantasy lore.
The Return to Tarkir
Enter Tarkir: Dragonstorm, a set that reintroduces the time-honored, epic lore players crave. Just imagine a realm shaped by five khanates, each inspired by East and Central Asian cultures, locked in a fierce battle alongside formidable dragon lords. If that’s not epic enough, a magic storm births dragons continuously—talk about a fantasy playground!
A Storm of Dragons on the Horizon
In the lead-up to this return, foreshadowing has appeared across recent sets, hinting at Tarkir’s inevitable return. Players know that all it takes is a glimmer of a dragonhawk or a sudden tempest to set the stage. Recent lore suggests the khanates united for a ritual to dethrone the dragon lords, proving once more that the old adage holds true: on Tarkir, when faced with a challenge, the answer is dragons. Expect familiar heroes, like Elspeth, to venture into the chaos and uncover what this dragon-filled storm means for the multiverse!
Tarkir: Dragonstorm will launch digitally on April 8 and hit stores on April 11, with pre-release events running from April 4–10. With a mix of nostalgia and innovation, will this set seize the hearts of players, or will they continue to favor the recent crossovers? We can’t wait to find out!
