Notes

Sandstorm Titan's ability also affects friendly Flying units.

Even though Flying units must attack and block as though they don't have Flying, it is not removed. Effects such as Windshaper's buff still affects them.

Units will be able to fly again when Sandstorm Titan leaves play or is silenced.

A popular nickname for this card is "Darude" after the popular song "Darude Sandstorm". The VFX used to feature a scarf but this was removed with the release of Jekk's Bounty. A common joke was to ask when it would get its scarf back. DWD referenced this meme in the flavor of the card Sandstorm Scarf.
