Each clan in Tarkir: Dragonstorm brings its unique flavour and a signature mechanic reflecting its identity:

• Abzan Houses (White-Black-Green): The Abzan focus on endurance, family, and resilience. Their signature mechanic, Endure, lets you choose when a creature endures: either put a number of +1/+1 counters on it or create that many 1/1 white Spirit creature tokens. This flexibility represents the Abzan’s adaptability and strength in unity. 

• Jeskai Way (Blue-Red-White): The Jeskai value discipline, cunning strategy, and coordinated action. Their Flurry ability word triggers whenever you cast your second spell each turn, granting various bonuses such as drawing cards or dealing damage. This rewards careful sequencing and spellcasting skill. 

• Sultai Brood (Black-Green-Blue): The Sultai embody ruthlessness, opportunism, and mastery over the graveyard. Their Renew ability can only be activated from the graveyard (and only as a sorcery), exiling the card as part of the cost. Renew abilities often put +1/+1 counters on creatures or grant other powerful effects, reflecting the Sultai’s resourcefulness beyond death.

• Mardu Horde (Red-White-Black): The Mardu champion speed, overwhelming aggression, and the glory of battle. Their new keyword is Mobilize, which typically triggers when a creature attacks, creating temporary creature tokens (often 1/1 Warriors with Menace) that are sacrificed at the end of the turn. This fuels relentless, wide attacks. 

• Temur Frontier (Green-Blue-Red): The Temur represent savagery, shamanistic connection to the wild, and immense power. Their new keyword is Harmonize, which allows you to cast specific spells from your graveyard by tapping untapped creatures you control to help pay the mana cost. This reflects drawing power from the land and your creatures.
