New Mechanics

Mobilize

Mobilize is a numbered evergreen. At the beginning of the combat on your turn, create a red Mardu Warrior token and reinforce it equal to the Mobilize value. These tokens have haste, power, and toughness 1/1, and at the end of your turn, they are destroyed.

Behold

Behold is a keyword that can be applied to any card. Behold checks if the card owner has a specific subtype card on the battlefield or in their hand; if they do, the card can perform additional effects.

Omen

Omen is a double-sided card in which each side contains a unique card; one side is a creature, and the other is a spell. You can choose which side of this card to play.

The spell side is an Omen card and, when it’s cast, the card is shuffled back to the library. Both sides have an Omen evergreen.

When you play with cards with Omen, if you buy the same Omen card later in the battle, you can choose which side you want to use.

Restore

Restore is a numbered evergreen similar to Aftermath. When the card with Restore is put into the graveyard, and at the beginning of your turn, if it is in your graveyard, it will create activated gems equal to the Restore value.

If you control a creature, destroying one of the activated gems allows you to perform additional effects, and the Restore card is exiled.

Endure

Endure checks if there is a slot available for new creatures to enter on your side of the battlefield:

  • If the battlefield is full, the player's first creature will gain +X/+X, where X is the Endure value.
  • If the battlefield isn’t, the player will create the number one Abzan Spirit token, then reinforce it a number of times equal to the Endure value.

Harmonize

Harmonize is a numbered evergreen that can be applied only in spell cards Harmonize represents a cost that allows the card to be cast from the graveyard.

If a card with Harmonize is in your graveyard, its Harmonize value decreases for each nontoken creature you control that enters the battlefield during your turn.

When the Harmonize cost is reduced to zero, that card is cast from the player’s graveyard as if it had full mana, and then it’s exiled.

Fight the dragons and help cleanse Tarkir of the dragonstorms.

—Sarkhan

While Tarkir is ravaged by dragonstorms, a savage battle rages within the Meditation Realm. On one hand, Elspeth and Narset try to put an end to the phenomenon, bringing peace to Tarkir.
