[[Sarkhan the Mad]] is a black and red human Planeswalker, introduced in June 2016 along with the [[Oath of the Gatewatch]] card set.

He has higher than average health and high deck limits with a focus on Creatures. He has a very balanced spread of mana bonuses: all of them are +1 except for his colors of Black and Red at +2. Like his fellow OGW [[Planeswalkers]] he has a combined mana bonus below normal; dual color PWs usually have eight total, but he has seven. Like other [[OGW]] and [[Battle for Zendikar]] Planeswalkers, he has only [[Origins]] cards in his [[#Starting Deck|Starting Deck]].

His abilities have a dragon theme, including replacing one of his creatures with a dragon creature {{Ability|Token}}, and creating a support {{Ability|Token}} which deal damage when his dragons attack.  He also has a cheap card draw ability.

Sarkhan the Mad, sometimes called S1, is the first of three playable [[Planeswalkers]] in MtGPQ which embody Sarkhan Vol at different points in his life.
