Tarkir: Dragonstorm returned to the dragon-storm plane on April 11, 2025, with five new Commander precons. One per Tarkir clan, each led by a fresh face from the post-Khans timeline. The set leans hard into the clan identities: Abzan toughness and endurance, Jeskai spell triggers, Sultai graveyard and land recursion, Mardu mobilize tokens, and Temur dragons.
Below you'll find every face commander linked into Playgroup's stats pages with playrate, win rate, ELO, and average game length, plus a one-click Playtest in Playgroup Live button on every precon that drops you into a solo game with the decklist already imported. No copy-paste, no login dance.
Set codes on Scryfall: TDM (main set) and TDC (Commander precons).
The Precons
Jeskai
Spellslinger and prowess. Cast cheap instants and sorceries, double their effects, and ride the storm with a flurry of triggers.
Sultai
Graveyard and land recursion. Mill cards, return lands with Teval, cast creatures from the graveyard with Kotis, and turn cards leaving your graveyard into Zombie Druid tokens.
Mardu
Mobilize tokens and token-leaves payoffs. Flood the board with attacking tokens, cash in cards when they leave, and pressure the table with Mardu aggression.
Temur
Dragon typal and high-power creatures. Ramp into oversized threats, use Ureni to put Dragons straight onto the battlefield, and let Eshki reward big creature spells with counters, cards, and damage.

Frequently Asked
When did Tarkir Dragonstorm release?
Tarkir Dragonstorm released on April 11, 2025. The set codes are TDM for the main Standard set and TDC for the five Commander precon decks.
What are the 5 Tarkir Dragonstorm Commander precons?
Abzan Armor (Abzan) led by Felothar the Steadfast, Jeskai Striker (Jeskai) led by Shiko and Narset Unified, Sultai Arisen (Sultai) led by Teval the Balanced Scale, Mardu Surge (Mardu) led by Zurgo Stormrender, and Temur Roar (Temur) led by Ureni of the Unwritten.
Which Tarkir Dragonstorm precon is best for new Commander players?
Mardu Surge is the most beginner-friendly. The mobilize-and-token plan is intuitive, the deck plays a steady curve, and Zurgo rewards tokens leaving the battlefield. Abzan Armor is also approachable if you prefer a defensive grindy game over fast aggression.
Which precon is the strongest out of the box?
Sultai Arisen has the highest ceiling. Graveyard recursion scales fast in Commander, Teval turns cards leaving your graveyard into Zombie Druid tokens, and Kotis gives the deck another creature-recursion angle. Temur Roar is the close runner-up if you like dragon typal.
Can I playtest the Tarkir Dragonstorm precons before buying?
Yes. Every precon on this page has a one-click Playtest in Playgroup Live button. Click it, sign in if needed, and you land in a fresh solo game with the Archidekt decklist imported into your library.
Are the Tarkir Dragonstorm precons Standard legal?
Cards in the main TDM set are Standard legal. The Commander-only cards in the TDC precon decks are Commander, Legacy, and Vintage legal but not Standard.
