In-fact, pretty much ''nobody'' on Tarkir (pre fate reforged) calls him "Sarkhan Vol". Ugin calls him "Sarkhan" though. Post Fate reforged, Zurgo still doesn't call Sarkhan his chosen name, and thinks Sarkhan Vol is a crazy person with a death wish. Probably because saying "Khan" is punishable by death. WotC has clearly taken Sarkhan's side on the right to choose his name. After all, his planeswalker subtype is "Sarkhan", not "Vol".

	Plagued by vision of the spirit dragon and his own broken mind, Sarkhan decided to return home. He eventually discovered Ugin's Nexus, the corpse of the great dragon whose spirit plagued him. Sarkhan managed to travel 1280 years back in time, freeing him of the whispers. He decided to help Ugin defeat Bolas. He wasn't successful. Bolas left Ugin for dead. Even so Sarkhan managed to find the grievously wounded Ugin after the battle was over, and made a healing chamber around him. This saved Ugin and prevented the extinction of Tarkir's dragons.

This saved Ugin and prevented the extinction of Tarkir's dragons... who proceeded to basically fuck things over for the humanoid races, enslaving them and hollowing out their cultures (represented by their switching from a 3-color base to a 2-color base), generally making things way worse for Tarkir's humanoids than the old timeline was.

			Of course, Sarkhan Vol thinks this new timeline is just the absolute best, because he's a moron like that.

	His first incarnation, Sarkhan Vol, represents him at the height of his power as a servant of Nicol Bolas. His +1 is a very handy ability that gives all creatures you control +1/+1 and haste until the end of turn. His -2 gives you control of a target creature until end of turn. It also untaps it and gives it haste. And yes, you can use it on your own creatures. His ultimate, a -6, puts his full flight of 5 4/4 flying dragons into play. His cost of 4 and starting Loyalty of 4, combined with his very useful abilities, make him quite good in a creature-centric deck. He is red/green.

	Sarkhan's second incarnation, Sarkhan the Mad, represents the time after his previous incarnation, where his sanity was eroding. This card holds the distinction as the first Planeswalker who cannot gain loyalty (using his ~~only~~ card that is, every planeswalker can have their amount of loyalty counters increased through proliferate). His 0 puts the top card of your library into your hand, and deals him damage equal to its converted mana cost. His -2 causes a target creature to be sacrificed, spawning a 5/5 flying dragon for that creature's controller (which, once again, can be your creature). His ultimate, a -4, has each dragon you control deal damage equal to its power to target player. Overall, he is difficult to use and extremely luck-based, but a dragon deck may have some fun with him. He is 5 for 7 this time around, having the highest starting loyalty of any Planeswalker, and is red/black.

	Sarkhan's third incarnation, Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker, represents his time spent after returning to his home plane of Tarkir, where he is searching for a Dragon Lord to serve. He is now exclusively mono-red, and extremely potent in almost all decks that utilize Red mana. He costs 3RR, and has a starting loyalty of 4. His +1 turns him into a 4/4 flying red Dragon creature with flying, indestructible, and haste. His -3 deals 4 damage to any target creature, and his -6 gives you an emblem with "At the beginning of your draw step, draw two additional cards." and "At the beginning of your end step, discard your hand."

	Sarkhan's fourth incarnation, Sarkhan, Unbroken, is his most current form. This card represents Sarkhan after the events of Fate Reforged, in which he effectively re-wrote the timeline of the plane of Tarkir, and saved Ugin from being killed by Nicol Bolas. In this new timeline, the clans of Tarkir no longer exist, and now different clans (with similar colors) are lead by the Elder Dragonlords (Atarka, Dromoka, Ojutai, Silumgar, and Kologhan). Sarkhan, however, has somewhat been effected by his experiences in the previous timeline, and now sports the colors of the Temur (GUR). As usual, Sarkhan is an extremely powerful planeswalker, but now will be limited to decks that utilize the Temur colors, as opposed to his previous version, which was more flexible. He now costs 2GUR, and has a starting loyalty of 4. His +1 allows you to draw a card, and add 1 mana of any color to your mana pool. His -2 puts a 4/4 red flying Dragon token onto the battlefield, and his -8 allows you to search your library for any number of Dragon cards and put them into play.
