Will of the Temur

Description

Will of the Temur is a rare Sorcery card found in the 2025 Tarkir: Dragonstorm Commander subset, designated as card number 24 in the TDC set code. Designed by Irina Nordsol, this card requires five generic mana and one blue mana to cast, resulting in a mana value of six. As a single-colored blue spell, it fits neatly into strategies focused on blue mana acceleration and control. The card's versatility lies in its dual-mode effect. Players must choose one of two outcomes when casting the spell. The first option allows the caster to create a token copy of any target permanent. This token is specifically modified to be a 4/4 Dragon creature with flying, adding immediate board presence and aerial capability to the battlefield. The second option targets an opponent, forcing them to draw a number of cards equal to the highest mana value among all permanents currently controlled by the caster. This creates a dynamic interaction where the value of the spell scales with the resources already deployed. A key feature of Will of the Temur is its synergy with the Commander format. If the player controlling the spell has a commander in play, they have the unique ability to choose both effects rather than just one. This makes the card particularly valuable for Commander enthusiasts building decks around the Tarkir: Dragonstorm theme. The card represents a significant addition to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game landscape, offering strategic depth for collectors and players alike. Its design and mechanics reflect the innovative spirit of the 2025 release, providing a compelling piece for any serious collection.
