Collecting Tarkir: Dragonstorm: The Four Most Important Things to Know

Tarkir: Dragonstorm approaches! This grandiose set of draconic proportions brings us back to Tarkir, a fan-favorite plane with clans and dragons that players have grown to love. Discover what lies at the heart of this tempest when the set releases April 11, 2025.

We just wrapped up Tarkir: Dragonstorm's story—available on MTGStory.com and The Magic Story Podcast—and can't wait to share all the exciting cards from this set. We've got the top four most exciting pieces of the set right here, along with the complete guide to collecting the set. Rally your clan and steel yourselves; we've got dragons to fight!

1. Serialized Retro Frame Mox Jasper: A Prize Fit for a Dragon

Harness all the power of a dragon with this beautiful serialized retro frame copy of Mox Jasper. Available only in Tarkir: Dragonstorm Collector Boosters, this card sports artwork by the one and only Dan Frazier. 

This version of the card appears only in Tarkir: Dragonstorm Collector Boosters. Serialized versions of Mox Jasper can appear in Collector Boosters of any language, but the card will always be in English. They are mechanically identical to their non-serialized counterparts. 

2. Harness Ghostfire Across 10 Different Cards

Ugin—the legendary spirit dragon at the heart of Tarkir's history—wields a special form of magic known as ghostfire. You'll feel like Ugin when you cast one of the 10 ghostfire cards from the set. These appear only in Collector Boosters in traditional foil and halo foil.

3. Fetch Lands Return with Dragonscale Foil Special Guests Cards

These lands are so fetch. All five enemy-color fetch lands appear as Special Guests cards, with non-foil versions showing up in Play Boosters and traditional foil versions showing up in Collector Boosters.

Additionally, you can open special dragonscale foil versions of these fetch lands in Collector Boosters, each with different artwork than their non-foil and traditional foil counterparts.

4. Keep an Eye Out for Dragon's Eye Lands

Gaze upon the majesty of Tarkir's dragons! Dragon's eye lands bring some additional scaled style to your decks. If you want to build a new Dragon-themed Commander deck (and after this set, you will want to), these are the basic lands to pick up.

Non-foil and traditional foil dragon's eye lands are available only in Tarkir: Dragonstorm Collector Boosters.

The Booster Fun of Tarkir: Dragonstorm

With clan-themed artwork and dragons across lands and legends, there's something for every fan of Tarkir. 

Serialized Retro Frame Mox Jasper

Wield the power of Tarkir's most fearsome creatures with Mox Jasper, seen here on Tarkir: Dragonstorm's headliner card! We've teamed up with the man behind the Moxen, Dan Frazier, to craft this serialized retro frame version of Mox Jasper. This gleaming artifact of Tarkiri history is the perfect centerpiece of any dragon lover's collection.

This version of the card appears only in Tarkir: Dragonstorm Collector Boosters. Serialized versions of Mox Jasper can appear in Collector Boosters of any language, but the card will always be in English. Serialized cards are mechanically identical to their non-serialized counterparts. 

Full-Art Dragon's Presence and Dragon's Eye Basic Lands

Do you think that dragon can see us? We can certainly see its shadow on these dragon's presence basic lands. These full-art lands, illustrated by Sergey Glushakov, feature scenic Tarkir landscapes with the shadows of dragons cast over them. Dragon's presence lands are available in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.

If that dragon didn't see us before, it can certainly see us now! Dragon's eye basic lands give an up-close-and-personal perspective on Tarkir's dragons. Each land is illustrated by Ron Spencer and combines mana with might on one card. Dragon's eye lands are available only in Tarkir: Dragonstorm Collector Boosters.

Additionally, you'll be able to earn a special dragon's eye Wastes promo card at your local game store through special Tarkir: Dragonstorm-themed events. We'll have more to share about these at a later date, so stay tuned!

Showcase Ghostfire and Halo Foil Ghostfire Cards 

Harness the power of ghostfire in the palm of your hand! Showcase ghostfire cards bring Ugin's enigmatic powers to the Magic card frame. There are 10 mythic rare cards from across the set with the showcase ghostfire treatment. All ghostfire cards appear at the same rate regardless of the default version's rarity.

There's even more to the might and majesty of showcase ghostfire cards. We've brought back the halo foil treatment on ghostfire cards, giving these already stunning cards an extra flourish. Traditional foil and halo foil ghostfire cards are available only in Tarkir: Dragonstorm Collector Boosters.

Special Guests Cards and Dragonscale Foil Fetch Lands 

Tarkir: Dragonstorm's Special Guests cards feature the return of two beloved cycles: the enemy fetch lands and Ikoria: Lair of Behemoth's Ultimatums! Each fetch land features brand-new artwork that encapsulates the style of Tarkir, and each Ultimatum has brand-new artwork from Dominik Mayer of the spell's corresponding spirit dragon.

For those of you who want lands fitting of a dragonlord, dragonscale foil cards are for you! Each of the 5 fetch lands has a special dragonscale foil version, with new artwork and a brand-new foil treatment! These have to be seen to be believed, so take a look!

Non-foil Special Guests cards are available in Play Boosters. Traditional foil Special Guests cards and dragonscale foil fetch lands are available in Collector Boosters.

Borderless Reversible Dragons

Take a look at these borderless reversible dragons! They grow up so fast, don't they? Each of these cards features cute-themed borderless art on one side and more fearsome borderless art on the other. These cards are mechanically identical to their counterparts in the default Magic frame. There are 5 rare Dragon creatures and 1 mythic rare planeswalker (Ugin, Eye of the Storms) that have this part-adorable, part-ferocious treatment.

Borderless reversible dragons are available in non-foil and traditional foil in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.

Borderless Clan Cards

It's not all dragons on Tarkir. The clans represent the resilience of the plane's humanoids, seen here on the set's borderless clan cards! Each of these features a special backdrop themed to one of the five clans. There are 14 mythic rare and 36 rare borderless clan cards.

Borderless clan cards are available in non-foil and traditional foil in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.

Showcase Draconic Frame Cards

Face the dragonstorms alongside scaled forces of your own with showcase draconic frame cards! Select cards from the set have a special dragon-themed frame with matching artwork, combining Tarkir's aesthetics with the ferocity of dragons. There are 9 mythic rares, 5 rares, 15 uncommons, and 6 commons with the showcase draconic frame.

Draconic frame cards are available in non-foil and traditional foil in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.

Borderless Sagas, Sieges, and More
