Hello, Magic fans! The full spoiler season for Tarkir: Dragonstorm (set code: TDM) has finally arrived, and with just two weeks until the release on April 11, 2025, the mythic rares are already sparking hype across the community. Loaded with Dragons, planeswalkers, and game-changing enchantments, this set has something for everyone. Let’s dive into the 20 mythics Scryfall has revealed and check out what these powerhouses can do—prepare for an epic breakdown!
All-Out Assault – Enchantment
Kicking things off with a Mardu banger, All-Out Assault turns your creatures into deathtouch-wielding nightmares with a +1/+1 boost. Oh, and if you drop it during your main phase? Extra combat phase, extra main phase, and untapped attackers. This is Commander chaos waiting to happen—pair it with a token swarm and watch your opponents weep.
Betor, Kin to All – Legendary Creature
A 5/7 flying Spirit Dragon for five mana? Yes, please! Betor scales with your board's toughness, drawing cards at 10, untapping everything at 20, and halving opponents' life totals at 40. Abzan players, this is your new win-con—stack those counters and flex your beefy creatures.
Call the Spirit Dragons – Enchantment
Five-color goodness! Your Dragons get indestructible, and each upkeep, they grow with +1/+1 counters per color. Pump five Dragons this way, and you just win. Simple, elegant, and utterly terrifying in a Dragon tribal deck. Time to dust off those five-color lands!
Craterhoof Behemoth – Creature
Wait, Craterhoof is back?! Haste, trample, and a massive +X/+X boost based on your creature count—this mythic is a reprint that'll have green stompy decks stomping harder than ever. Eight mana's steep, but the payoff is legendary.
Death Begets Life – Sorcery
Sultai board wipe with upside! Nuke all creatures and enchantments, then draw a card for each permanent destroyed. Control players, this is your reset button—and your card advantage engine.
Dracogenesis – Enchantment
Free Dragons, anyone? Dracogenesis lets you cast Dragon spells for zero mana. Pair it with high-cost flyers and laugh as you flood the board. Red decks just got a lot spicier.
Dragonback Assault – Enchantment
Temur aggression at its finest. Deals 3 damage to all creatures and planeswalkers on entry, then spits out 4/4 flying Dragon tokens every time a land drops. Landfall decks, rejoice—this is your new toy.
Elspeth, Storm Slayer – Legendary Planeswalker
Elspeth's back, and she's doubling your tokens! +1 for a Soldier, 0 to pump and grant flying, -3 to snipe a big threat—this planeswalker is a token player's dream. Five loyalty for five mana feels just right.
Jeskai Revelation – Instant
Jeskai does it all: bounce a spell or permanent, deal 4 damage, make two prowess Monks, draw two, gain 4 life. This instant is a Swiss Army knife for control decks looking to swing tempo.
Mox Jasper – Legendary Artifact
A zero-mana Mox that taps for any color if you control a Dragon? Mox Jasper is a Commander staple in the making. Dragon tribal just got a mana boost—watch out for the banlist chatter!
Neriv, Heart of the Storm – Legendary Creature
This Mardu Spirit Dragon doubles damage from creatures that entered this turn. Flash in some hasty beaters, and Neriv turns your combat into a slaughterfest. Aggro players, take note.
Perennation – Sorcery
Abzan recursion with style. Bring back a permanent with hexproof and indestructible counters—think bombs like Vorinclex or Elesh Norn. This is graveyard shenanigans done right.
Rot-Curse Rakshasa – Creature
A 5/5 trampler for two mana with decayed (can't block, sacs after attacking)? Plus a Renew ability to spread decayed counters from the grave? This is black aggro's new best friend.
Shiko, Paragon of the Way – Legendary Creature
Jeskai's Shiko exiles and copies a cheap spell from your graveyard for free. Flying, vigilance, and value—this Spirit Dragon is a midrange powerhouse.
Smile at Death – Enchantment
Reanimate two small creatures every upkeep with +1/+1 counters. Token decks and aristocrats, this is your engine for endless value.
Stormscale Scion – Creature
A 4/4 flyer that buffs other Dragons and has Storm (copies for each spell cast before it)? This is red's ticket to explosive turns—tokens galore!
Taigam, Master Opportunist – Legendary Creature
Taigam copies your second spell each turn and gives it suspend. Blue tempo decks just found their new commander—control the pace and overwhelm.
Teval, Arbiter of Virtue – Legendary Creature
Sultai's Teval brings flying, lifelink, and delve to your spells, at the cost of life per cast. High-risk, high-reward—this Spirit Dragon screams combo potential.
Ugin, Eye of the Storms – Legendary Planeswalker
Ugin exiles colored permanents on cast and whenever you cast colorless spells. +2 for life and cards, 0 for mana, -11 for a game-ending colorless spree. Eldrazi decks, your god has arrived.
Ureni, the Song Unending – Legendary Creature
A 10/10 flyer with protection from white and black, Ureni deals land-count-based damage on entry. Temur stompy just found its finisher.
