After a couple of sets that borrowed heavily from our modern day, real world, I'm pleased to say that Magic has now returned to a more fantastical and grounded setting - the plane of Tarkir. As you would expect from a set...uhhhh, set on Tarkir, the freshly launched Dragonstorm is full of all sorts of dragons, a plethora of cards representing each of the five tri-color clans, as well as a surprisingly large chunk of individually powerful cards that will likely remain relevant for a very long time.

With all of that in mind, I'm sure it'll come as a massive shock to hear that Dragonstorm has been a raging success so far! Hopefully this means we'll get more traditional Magic sets in the future rather than ones where popular characters do random cosplay, because after MKM, OTJ and DFT, I must admit I missed some good ol' fashioned fantasy.

But enough of my rambling! You can check out the full list of cards, as well as the accompanying Special Guests bonus sheet that isn't Standard legal, over at the official website. 

The final thing worth mentioning is that the draft environment has been a lot of fun so far. I've had and seen people have success with everything from down-to-the-ground aggro to 5-color soup, so as long as you can wrap your head around the actual drafting portion, there's a lot of different strategies and builds to explore. Whether this remains the case in a couple of weeks, that remains to be seen, but right now I'm definitely itching to dive back in and slap down some dragons onto the board!

Once the MTG Arena team announces anything major, most likely the release date of Alchemy: Dragonstorm, I'll make sure to let you know. Until then, have fun and I'll leave you with the trailer
