Earlier this week, Wizards of the Coast finally obliged eager fans with a deep dive into Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Tarkir: Dragonstorm. With its Asian-inspired setting, dueling factions, and focus on everyone’s favorite lethal-yet-awe-inspiring creatures, dragons, it’s hardly surprising that the set has garnered a lot of attention despite several high-profile Magic collaborations–including both Final Fantasy and Avatar: The Last Airbender–being scheduled to release later this year. Though exploring “Universes Beyond” is always a fun time, Tarkir acknowledges a powerful, universal truth: Dragons are cool as hell.
During March 18’s Tarkir: Dragonstorm livestream, the team showcased a good amount of the majestic monstrosities, as well as the set’s upcoming Commanders, spells, land cards, gameplay mechanics, and more. GameSpot then got the opportunity to take a look at two unannounced cards, Disruptive Stormbrood and Whirlwing Stormbrood, and chat with lead art director Forrest Schehl and set design lead Adam Prosak about Tarkir and how these cards will shake up Limited formats and make drafting even more fun. Below is a first look at two of the five unaffiliated Stormbroods, followed by an exclusive interview with Schehl and Prosak.
Disruptive Stormbrood is a 3/3 Creature – Dragon spell.Whirlwing Stormbrood is a 4/3 Creature – Dragon spell.
GameSpot: Tarkir is very focused on its five clans, so I’m curious, how do these Stormbroods fit into those?
