Looking for the MTG Tarkir Dragonstorm release date? In the second major set of 2025 we’re going back to Tarkir, a dragon-filled world with multiple diverse factions, each inspired by different Asian cultures. This is our one and only revisit to an existing beloved plane next year, so it’s going to be a high point for more established Magic fans.
Below you’ll find the Tarkir Dragonstorm release dates and all information revealed so far about this upcoming MTG set. If you want to see how it fits in with the rest of next year’s slate, check out our MTG release schedule guide.
MTG Tarkir Dragonstorm release date
MTG Tarkir Dragonstorm releases on April 11, 2025. That’s its global release date on paper, but you should expect the cards to arrive in your Local Game Store a little before this, with prerelease events likely to begin from April 4.
These days, Magic: The Gathering sets are usually shown off just under a month before they come out, so expect to see cards from this set in mid-March.
MTG Tarkir Dragonstorm set details
Tarkir is quite an unusual MTG plane in that it received an in-universe retcon, with time-wimey shenanigans replacing the three-color clan factions from Khans of Tarkir with two-color forces led by dragons. That was a pretty unpopular decision, so in Tarkir Dragonstorm, Wizards of the Coast is trying to bridge the gap between the two versions of this world.
That means Tarkir Dragonstorm will have plenty of dragons both old and new, but also see a return of the three color ‘wedge’ factions. Storywise, that’s justified by the humans rebelling against the dragons and rediscovering the lost clans.
We don’t know much more about this set’s plot or what kinds of cards or mechanics it’ll feature. What we do know, however, is that Ugin is back with another colorless MTG planeswalker card that’s sure to be powerful. And number one dragon fan Sarkhan is also here, as a mono-red legendary creature.
