Tarkir: Dragonstorm, perhaps the most metal name for a Magic: The Gathering expansion since Aether Revolt, arrives on April 11. As the name suggests, the new set returns to Tarkir, a dimensional plane where dragons live alongside five rival houses, each with their own ideologies and relationships to the chaotic and occasionally benevolent reptiles.
The new expansion is currently available to pre-order online in the usual formats. However, the availability of certain products may fluctuate based on demand.
Tarkir: Dragonstorm won’t launch with a Starter Kit like some previous expansions, which makes Commander Decks the logical jumping-off point for anyone new to Magic: The Gathering. These pre-built, 100-card decks include 98 non-foil cards in addition to a pair of exclusive, traditional foil Commander cards, and two randomly selected cards pulled from Collector Booster Packs. Each Commander Deck is focused on a different house or land from the plane of Tarkir like the Jeskai or Abzan.
Single Commander Decks are currently available to pre-order from Amazon for $44.99 each, but you can also reserve a bundle of all five for $224.99.
The $53.99 bundle for Tarkir: Dragonstorm includes nine, 14-card Play Booster packs in addition to a single, foil alternate-art card, 40 Basic Land cards, and a Spindown life-counter die. The Dragonstorm Bundle is a great way to quickly expand your collection with a variety of cards from the new set, and is currently available to pre-order at Amazon.
The most common way to expand any Magic: The Gathering collection is through Play Boosters. Play Boosters for the new Tarkir: Dragonstorm set are available to pre-order in 30-pack boxes for $164.99 from Amazon. Each 14-card pack contains a spread of one rare or Mythic rare, three uncommon, and seven common cards in addition to a single Land card, a traditional foil card, and a card of a random rarity. Of the 14 cards included in each pack, one is also guaranteed to be a traditional foil card.
Collector Booster packs are the only way to get some of the coolest alternate-art cards from the new expansion, and are available to pre-order in boxes of 12 packs for $299.99 from Amazon. Each Collector Booster pack contains 15 Magic: The Gathering cards along with a single foil double-sided token. Every pack contains a spread of two foil and two non-foil rare or Mythic rare, eight foil common or uncommon cards, and a Tarkir: Dragonstorm Commander card, along with a single Land card.
