競技場之星是塔基爾（Tarkir）的一部強大的新型多工具：Dragonstorm

將魔術放在一起時：聚會甲板時，您通常希望用可以扮演多個角色的卡片填充老虎機。

When putting together a Magic: The Gathering deck, you generally want to fill the slots with cards that can serve multiple roles. This is especially true in Commander, but it also applies to regular 60-card formats. Having your cards fulfill different functions in different situations is the key to staying adaptable and competitive as games progress. Today, a powerful new multi-tool from Tarkir: Dragonstorm was revealed. That card is Star of the Arena, and it’ll likely be coming to MTG decks near you soon.

將魔術放在一起時：聚會甲板時，您通常希望用可以扮演多個角色的卡片填充老虎機。在指揮官中尤其如此，但它也適用於常規的60張卡格式。在不同情況下，讓您的卡在不同情況下實現不同的功能是隨著遊戲的進展，保持適應性和競爭力的關鍵。如今，揭示了Tarkir：Dragonstorm的一部強大的新型多工具。該卡是競技場的明星，它很快就會來到您附近的MTG甲板。

While it looks like just another aggressive one-drop Goblin, Star of the Arena actually has a lot going on. With its token production ability and removal effect, there are countless strategies that can benefit from its inclusion. It’s rare to see so much utility on a one-drop, especially in red, and it makes the Star an exciting new card even among Tarkir: Dragonstorm’s other high-power offerings.

雖然看起來只是另一個侵略性的單滴妖精，但競技場的明星實際上有很多事情要做。具有代幣的生產能力和去除效應，有無數策略可以從包含中受益。很少見到一件零下的實用程序，尤其是在紅色上，即使在Tarkir：Dragonstorm的其他高功率產品中，這也使這顆明星成為令人興奮的新卡。

Star Of The Arena

競技場之星

Star of the Arena was revealed by Japanese MTG YouTube channel BIG MAGIC LIVE. While an official translation is yet to be released, the above should be accurate ability-wise. The English card name, however, may differ a bit.

競技場之星由日本MTG YouTube頻道Big Magic Live揭示。儘管官方翻譯尚未發布，但以上應該是準確的能力。但是，英文卡名稱可能有所不同。

First things first, Star of the Arena is a new red one drop that can swing for two damage on turn two. This puts it in the same camp as Hired Claw, which is a staple in Mono-Red Aggro lists in both Standard and Pioneer. Star lacks Claw’s scalability, but it makes up for it with its own activated ability.

首先，競技場的明星是一個新的紅色一滴，可以在第二回合中揮舞兩個傷害。這將其與僱用的爪子一起放在同一營地中，這是標準和先驅者中的單紅色Aggro列表中的主食。 Star缺乏Claw的可伸縮性，但它具有自己的激活能力來彌補它。

Now, for the sake of clarity, Star doesn’t count itself for the purpose of its activated ability. It will, however, count the Mobilize token, which is a nice bit of internal synergy. In a go-wide Aggro deck, this is like a cheaper, more consistent version of Stalactite Stalker, which is a card that sees occasional Modern play.

現在，為了清楚起見，明星並不是為了激活能力的目的。但是，它將計算動員令牌，這是一個很好的內部協同作用。在整個Angro甲板上，這就像一個更便宜，更一致的Stalactite Stalker，這是一張偶爾看到現代遊戲的卡片。

A Starring Role In Standard

在標準中角色

Star of the Arena is a powerful card, then, and I think it has a real shot at seeing Standard play. Both Gruul Aggro and Mono-Red Prowess are still top meta contenders, and there’s a good case to be made for this card in either one. It’s worth noting that Monstrous Rage looks set to catch a ban next week, which may push these decks more towards a go-wide playstyle where Star will (appropriately enough) shine. The removal ability should do work too, helping remove blockers during an alpha strike.

那時，競技場的明星是一張強大的卡片，我認為它在看到標準遊戲時確實有一個真正的鏡頭。 Gruul Aggro和Mono-Red Prowess仍然是最高的元競爭者，並且在這一張卡中都有一個很好的案例。值得注意的是，下週怪異的憤怒看起來將捕獲禁令，這可能會將這些甲板更加朝著整個遊戲風格的風格推向，而Star（適當地）將在這裡發光。拆卸能力也應該有效，可以幫助alpha罷工期間刪除阻滯劑。

The big two aside, there are many other potential homes for this gung-ho Goblin in Standard. Convoke decks are still part of the meta, albeit a very small one. Both Boros and Jeskai versions exist, relying on the classic Knight-Errant of Eos plan to win their games. While Star doesn's contribution to the Convoke plan is minimal, it can leverage the wide boards the deck creates with its removal ability.

除了大兩個，標準中還有許多其他潛在的房屋。召集甲板仍然是元的一部分，儘管很小。 Boros和Jeskai版本都存在，依靠EOS計劃的經典騎士贏得比賽。雖然Star In對Convoke計劃的貢獻很小，但它可以利用甲板以其去除能力創造的寬板。

There’s also the potential for the card to boost a straight-up Goblin Typal list. We saw such a deck do well just after Aetherdrift dropped, and Star makes an excellent addition. It completely replaces Cacophony Scamp for my money, giving the deck the extra bite it needs in the crucial one-drop slot. It may not be enough to push Goblins into the top tiers, but it’ll certainly help the deck’s case.

該卡也有可能提高直截了當的妖精典型列表。我們看到這樣的甲板剛滴落後的甲板表現不錯，而Star則是一個很好的補充。它完全取代了我的錢，這使甲板在關鍵的單滴插槽中需要額外的咬合。將妖精推入頂級等級可能還不夠，但這肯定會幫助甲板的情況。

Finally, the card has potential in the kind of Mardu Aggro deck that Tarkir: Dragonstorm is clearly pushing for. With both Shocking Sharpshooter and Thunder of Unity for burn and Hardened Tactician for card draw, a token strategy could be genuinely viable. Making Mardu mana will be tricky for now, but the Verge lands should go a long way towards helping in that instance.

最後，該卡具有Tarkir：Dragonstorm顯然在推動的那種馬爾杜（Mardu Aggro）甲板的潛力。憑藉令人震驚的神槍手和燒傷和頑固的戰術師的統一雷，可以真正可行的策略。現在製作馬爾杜法術力將很棘手，但是在這種情況下，《邊緣土地》應大有幫助。

Fighting Through The Formats

通過格式進行戰鬥

Outside of Standard, Star of the Arena has potential in multiple other formats. Pioneer, in particular, has a few maybe-homes for this card. Gruul and Mono-Red Aggro are doing just as well there currently as they are in Standard. The same arguments I gave for Star’s inclusion in those lists above apply to Pioneer. It may be less reliable than something like Soul-Scar Mage, but being able to clear a big blocker is a huge deal in these decks.

在標準之外，競技場的恆星具有多種其他格式的潛力。尤其是先鋒，這張卡有一些可能的人。格魯爾（Gruul）和單紅色Aggro目前的表現與標準狀態一樣。我對Star在上面的列表中包含的論點也適用於先驅。它可能不如Soul-Scar Mage這樣的可靠性，但是能夠清除大型阻滯劑在這些甲板上是一件大事。

Aggro aside, I think the card has a real shot in Jund Sacrifice lists. The Mobilize token it creates gives you great fodder for Witch’s Oven and Deadly Dispute. Additionally, the fact that Star sacrifices itself for its ability plays great with Ygra and Mayhem Devil. It’s unclear what the deck would cut for Star, but Bloodtithe Harvester fills a similar role, so that could be a solid swap. Harvester is a Pioneer favorite, mind you, so I expect Star to be a sideboard addition at best to start with.

除了Aggro，我認為這張卡在Jund犧牲清單中有一個真正的鏡頭。它創建的動員令牌為您提供了巫婆烤箱和致命爭議的絕佳飼料。此外，星星犧牲自己的能力與Ygra和Mayhem Devil相當出色的事實。目前尚不清楚甲板會削減恆星，但是Bloodtithe Harvester扮演了類似的角色，因此可以紮實地交換。請注意，收割機是先驅者的最愛，所以我希望Star最多可以成為餐具櫃。

I’m not as confident of Star’s abilities in formats like Modern

我對諸如現代之類的格式的明星能力並不充滿信心
