Tarkir: Dragonstorm Show

So the new card for Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant really pisses me off because a Druid is a mage who practices plant based magic, and a shaman is a mage who practices animal based (as well as ancestral) magic. Means they typed him incorrectly.

Also he failed in his mission to become a Dragon God so that's what I'll be making.

I have a sneaky suspension he will assist Bolas in his escape from The Meditation Realm but you'll have to read the story for that one ;)

But TLDR Sarkhan wanted to become a Dragon God and wanted to convert the multiverse into one realm for the Dragons. I could see him aligning with Bolas to make that happen.

Sarkhan, Draconic Bloodline {4}{B}{R}

Legendary Creature - Human Shaman Warrior

Haste

Whenever Sarkhan attacks, you may put a non-legendary dragon from your hand onto the battlefield tapped and attacking the same player or permanent. Sacrifice it at the end of combat.

Sacrifice a legendary Dragon, {T}: Transform Sarkhan.

4/4

Sarkhan, Dragon God

Legendary Creature - Dragon God

Sarkhan, Dragon God is all colors

Flying, vigilance, haste

Sarkhan has each keyword ability among Dragons you control. If an ability has a cost associated with it such as ward, use the highest value among similar ward costs, and combine different ward costs.

Whenever Sarkhan attacks, reveal a Dragon card you own from any zone and put it onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. If it's not legendary, make a token copy of it as it enters. Shuffle your library if you searched it.

8/7

This means if you have Atarka, World Render he has trample. Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon gives him infect. Archive Dragon gives him ward {2}. Dromoka, the Eternal gives him bolster 2.

As for Ward, let's say you have a Ward {2} from Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm, Ward {4} from Iymrith, Desert Doom and let's assume there's an Aura that says something like "Ward - Pay 4 life"

He would have the higher {4} as well as pay 4 life in order to target.

Bleh I feel better and have 1 minute before I clock back in for lunch so..

Wild!!

Or, actually you know what?

If you have a card that annoys you that you wish was "better" or "different" or "lore accurate", make it.

Only caveat is you can't just make it cost less mana. That's cheating.
