The Tempest block is noteworthy for featuring a great amount of its story on cards. Below is a list of card relevant to each section of the anthology in the order they appear (note that many tales are told out of chronological order), as well as cards whose flavor text is quoted, and additionally cards that are contradicted by the book.
Sections to which no cards are relevant are omitted, and only cards printed in the four sets included in the anthology are listed. The card Volrath's Stronghold is also omitted due to being ubiquitous throughout the story.
