Over the previous few months I’ve gotten means, WAY into Commander. Whereas the bank card payments haven’t confirmed up within the mailbox but, constructing decks for Magic: The Gathering’s hottest format has turn out to be an enormous a part of my downtime after work. I’ve even begun to frequent the native store for recreation nights. I’m studying tons concerning the trendy state of the sport, whereas additionally simply having fun with the corporate of different human beings. There’s additionally the smooth-brain card sorting to maintain me away from the information cycle, which is a pleasant bonus. That’s how I just lately found a tremendous new deck from the Tarkir: Dragonstorm set. I feel it may be one of many 12 months’s most enjoyable Magic releases.
Magic: the Gathering Tarkir: Dragonstorm Commander Deck – Temur Roar is a 100-card deck centered on considered one of Magic’s perennially fashionable gameplay methods, which is launching large ass dragons at your opponents. In apply it’s a reasonably easy one-two punch: Construct up extra mana than you would possibly in any other case be capable to flip after flip, a technique known as “ramp” within the vernacular, after which use it to summon your scaly mates en masse.
Main the deck is Ureni of the Unwritten, a seven-mana spirit dragon. Usually you wouldn’t be capable to deliver Ureni out till the seventh spherical of play, however numerous playing cards within the deck can assist ramp up sufficient mana to get the job carried out early. As soon as on the desk, Ureni proceeds to disclose further dragon playing cards and convey them straight onto the battlefield at no cost. In movement, meaning two or three high-value monsters with flying and/or trample on or earlier than flip 5 — simply the factor to start loudly offing your opponents.
And that’s simply the inventory deck! As the oldsters at The Command Zone will inform you, the deck leaps up in energy with just some additions. All-in you’re taking a look at lower than a $100 outlay for a potent deck, together with upgrades. Add in that the deck is predicated on the beloved Tarkir setting, a plane we’ve not revisited in a decade, and you’ve got the most effective thematic Commander decks in a technology.
In fact, Commander decks will be ephemeral issues. The five for Tarkir: Dragonstorm launched simply final week, and the native anecdotal proof that I’ve acquired says they’re promoting rapidly. If you happen to like taking part in dragons or have aspirations to take action sooner or later, now’s the time to choose one up. Better of all it’s an excellent worth. As Tolarian Community College factors out, on the secondary market as of final week the playing cards inside this $44.99 field would set you again round $175. So even in case you’re not seeking to construct out this specific deck proper now, you continue to would possibly wish to seize it for later.
