Khans of Tarkir, forment un cycle de créatures légendaires tricolores, chacune représentant le khan de son clan.
Source 1 (Prose and Khans) -
Source 2 (Defined clans - "Once we had five clans, we had to have a more balanced structure to match the color pie. Shards of Alara focused on three-color shards (a color and its two allies), but we'd never done a wedge-focused set (a color and its two enemies).") -
Source 3 (Use of Multicolor - Legendary Wedge Creatures (Mythic Rare) - "[...] The set needs mythic rare warlords, and the clans are each three colors. This cycle of mythic rare legendary creatures was a no-brainer. [...] These were the leaders of each clan.")
Source 1 a écrit :
The design worked as such: each clan was centered in a color and had one ally color and one enemy color, resulting in a tri-color wedge combination. Each clan was also tied to an attribute of the dragon, which the clan tried to emulate. Here's the breakdown:
