Elvish Visionary | Illustration by D. Alexander GregoryDrawing cards is one of the best ways to win a game of Magic. Pushing yourself ahead of your opponents on the card advantage metric closes out games surprisingly easily. Drawing cards increases the odds of hitting your land drops and playing relevant spells on each of your turns—that’s why blue spells like Brainstorm and Ponder are so highly regarded.

Commander, MTG Decks, Strategy Ms. Bumbleflower | Illustration by Marta NaelGroup hug decks have a reputation for sneakiness. They pretend to be your friend, providing cards, maybe some land drops, and everybody has a great time! Until the foot drops and they reveal themselves as the true enemy, having amassed more resources than anyone else through one means or another.

Wall of Fortune | Illustration by Tom BabbeyAt some point hobbies transcend mere pastimes and expand to the point where they’re a lifestyle, something you invest time and energy (and money) into because it’s part of who you are, rather than just something you do. Once you’re at that stage of investment, your wallet tends to loosen up to some of the pricier accessories on the market. Take tabletop dice, for example.

Commander, MTG Decks, Strategy Eshki, Temur's Roar | Illustration by Billy ChristianEshki, Temur's Roar looks like one of the most promising commanders to come from the Tarkir: Dragonstorm precons.

Eshki Dragonclaw | Illustration by Tran NguyenTemur cards () have lots of potential; they get to dip into Simic (), an often broken , with additional value coming in from red giving haste and a variety of other effects (like damage!). The slate from Tarkir: Dragonstorm adds lots of spice and power to this wedge, with cards that have potential in a variety of power levels and formats—I’m especially excited to mess around with some of these in Cube and Commander.

Felothar, Dawn of the Abzan | Illustration by Victor Adame MinguezI’ve always been a fan of multicolor cards. I just think they’re neat, and I love constructing decks with dubious mana bases that draw on three, four, or even all five colors for some value and a range of powerful effects. This corresponds closely to a love of multicolored sets, and I can’t wait to see what I can do with all the 3-color cards in Tarkir: Dragonstorm.

Taigam, Master Opportunist | Illustration by Joshua RaphaelTarkir: Dragonstorm looks like one of the coolest Magic sets printed in some time, if only because it has a genuine high fantasy feel rather than attempting to draw on a gimmick like cowboy hats or races. This extends to the commanders, with a slate of legendary creatures that look promising in the command zone for most strategies. But which of them are the best, and how do they stack up with commanders we already have? Let’s find out.

Teval's Judgment | Illustration by Alix BranwynTarkir: Dragonstorm looks like peak Magic: The Gathering. It’s got the awesome worldbuilding that people loved about Khans of Tarkir, and it even manages to borrow the dragons from Dragons of Tarkir without feeling like a rehash of the lesser, 2-color set. To commemorate our return to the clans of the original setting, this round’s got a full five Commander precons, one for each of the clans.
