Revision as of 00:27, 27 January 2016
The Khans of Tarkir block consists of the large expansion Khans of Tarkir (Template:Set symbol), the small expansion Fate Reforged (Template:Set symbol) and a final large set Dragons of Tarkir (Template:Set symbol). It is the 21st block in Magic: The Gathering history. The block was released over 2014–2015. [1] Khans of Tarkir block is the last of the three-set blocks. [2]
Description
Warning!
Each of the clans in the block is loosely based on a different Asian culture (architecture, clothing and so on). [3] The Mardu are based on the Mongol hordes, the Jeskai are based on the Chinese Shaolin Monks, the Abzan are based on the Ottoman Turks, the Sultai are based on the Cambodian steamy jungle pleasure palaces and the Temur are based on shamanistic Siberian culture.
The Khans of Tarkir block has a unique draft structure: the second (small) set is drafted with both large sets, but the large sets are never drafted together. [4] [5] The draft structure is the first thing from which the first set was built. [6] All three sets feature Morph or Morph-like mechanic.
There will be a change in rotation structure in view of Standard too, once Theros block and Magic 2015 are being rotated out in September 2015. The Khans of Tarkir and Fate Reforged will be treated as an independent block in the new 3-block rotation, while the second large set in this block and Magic Origins will be treated as another. As a result of that, the prior two sets will be rotated out in Spring 2016, while the latter two will be rotated out in Autumn 2016.
Although Khans of Tarkir is a wedge set, it was explicitly denied that the whole block would be wedge oriented. Instead, the block was to be all about change, and contained a time traveling element. [7] </ref> As Sarkhan Vol traveled from the present Khans of Tarkir to the past (Fate Reforged) he changed the time stream by rescuing Ugin. He returned in an alternate present (Dragons of Trakir). [8] The second does not contain three-color gold cards. The color identity of the cards is instead marked by the use of hybrid ability activation cost. The last set focused on Two-Color Dragon Broods.
It was said that there are elements in the storyline that may play out over a long time in other blocks. [3]
