Set Prospective
Tarkir: Dragonstorm Commander
This article is part of our community-sourced Set Prospective series. We survey Cube designers before the set’s official release to document their first impressions of new cards.
A whopping 71 cube designers responded to our survey for Dragonstorm’s companion set — a huge number compared to most past Commander releases! Floral Evoker, the most popular TDC card, gives a new spin on Landfall and graveyard synergies, while the highest-rated popular card, Afterlife from the Loam, offers a cost-reducing Reanimation threat.
As always, Commander precons come with many reprints, which provide access and affordability to many beloved cards. In this case, we’ve got new art for Gravecrawler and Life from the Loam, Hedron Crab’s cheapest printing yet, and even the first Magic-themed printing of Shadow Summoning.
