Frontier Siege

Frontier Siege was originally released in the 2015 set Fate Reforged, designed as part of a cycle of enchantments that represent the strategic decision-making required during the conflict between the Mardu Horde and their enemies. The card allows players to choose between two modes—Khans or Dragons—reflecting the tactical versatility of the era's warring clans and the dual nature of the set’s central narrative, which involves time travel and the shifting destiny of the plane of Tarkir.

The card’s illustration was created by artist Daarken, who focused on capturing the grand, imposing architecture of the dragon-worshiping fortresses while emphasizing the card’s red mana alignment through fiery, atmospheric lighting. As a flexible utility enchantment, it was well-received by players for its impact in Commander formats, where its ability to generate creatures or provide targeted removal makes it a reliable staple for red decks.
