竞技场之星是塔基尔（Tarkir）的一部强大的新型多工具：Dragonstorm

将魔术放在一起时：聚会甲板时，您通常想用可以扮演多个角色的卡片填充老虎机。

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.

将魔术放在一起时：聚会甲板时，您通常想用可以扮演多个角色的卡片填充老虎机。在指挥官中尤其如此，但它也适用于常规的60张卡格式。在不同情况下，让您的卡在不同情况下实现不同的功能是随着游戏的进展，保持适应性和竞争力的关键。如今，揭示了Tarkir：Dragonstorm的一部强大的新型多工具。该卡是竞技场的明星，它很快就会来到您附近的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.

虽然看起来只是另一个侵略性的单滴妖精，但竞技场的明星实际上有很多事情要做。具有代币的生产能力和去除效应，有无数策略可以从包含中受益。很少见到一件零下的实用程序，尤其是在红色上，即使在Tarkir：Dragonstorm的其他高功率产品中，这也使这颗明星成为令人兴奋的新卡。

Star Of The Arena

竞技场之星

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.

竞技场之星由日本MTG YouTube频道Big Magic Live揭示。尽管官方翻译尚未发布，但以上应该是准确的能力。但是，英文卡名称可能有所不同。

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，竞技场的明星是一个新的红色一滴，可以在第二回合中挥舞两个伤害。这将其与雇用的爪子一起放在同一营地中，这是标准和先驱者中的单红色Aggro列表中的主食。 Star缺乏Claw的可伸缩性，但它具有自己的激活能力来弥补它。

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.

现在，为了清楚起见，明星并不是为了激活能力而算上自己。但是，它将计算动员令牌，这是一个很好的内部协同作用。在整个Angro甲板上，这就像一个更便宜，更一致的Stalactite Stalker，这是一张偶尔看到现代游戏的卡片。

A Starring Role In Standard

在标准中角色

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.

那时，竞技场的明星是一张强大的卡片，我认为它在看到标准游戏时确实有一个真正的镜头。 Gruul Aggro和Mono-Red Prowess仍然是最高的元竞争者，并且在这一张卡中都有一个很好的案例。值得注意的是，下周怪异的愤怒看起来将捕获禁令，这可能会将这些甲板更加朝着整个游戏风格的风格推向，而Star（适当地）将在这里发光。拆卸能力也应该有效，可以帮助alpha罢工期间删除阻滞剂。

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.

除了大两个，标准中还有许多其他潜在的房屋。召集甲板仍然是元的一部分，尽管很小。 Boros和Jeskai版本都存在，依靠EOS计划的经典骑士赢得比赛。虽然Star In对Convoke计划的贡献很小，但它可以利用甲板以其去除能力创造的宽板。

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.

该卡也有可能提高直截了当的妖精典型列表。我们看到这样的甲板刚滴落后的甲板表现不错，而Star则是一个很好的补充。它完全取代了我的钱，这使甲板在关键的单滴插槽中需要额外的咬合。将妖精推入顶级等级可能还不够，但这肯定会帮助甲板的情况。

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.

最后，该卡具有Tarkir：Dragonstorm显然在推动的那种马尔杜（Mardu Aggro）甲板的潜力。凭借令人震惊的神枪手和烧伤和顽固的战术师的统一雷，可以真正可行的策略。现在制作马尔杜法术力将很棘手，但是在这种情况下，《边缘土地》应大有帮助。

Fighting Through The Formats

通过格式进行战斗

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.

在标准之外，竞技场的恒星具有多种其他格式的潜力。尤其是先锋，这张卡有一些可能的人。格鲁尔（Gruul）和单红色Aggro目前的表现与标准状态一样。我对Star在上面的列表中包含的论点也适用于先驱。它可能不如Soul-Scar Mage这样的可靠性，但是能够清除大型阻滞剂在这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，我认为这张卡在Jund牺牲清单中有一个真正的镜头。它创建的动员令牌为您提供了巫婆烤箱和致命争议的绝佳饲料。此外，星星牺牲自己的能力与Ygra和Mayhem Devil相当出色的事实。目前尚不清楚甲板会削减恒星，但是Bloodtithe Harvester扮演了类似的角色，因此可以扎实地交换。请注意，收割机是先驱者的最爱，所以我希望Star最多可以成为餐具柜。

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

我对诸如现代之类的格式的明星能力并不充满信心
