Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Zurgo and Ojutai is a Jeskai Dragon-tribal deck built to use the commander's combat-damage trigger as a card-advantage engine. The primary plan is to curve into a hasty commander, chain Dragon enters triggers with Dragon Tempest and Scourge of Valkas, and finish with either unblockable commander damage through Rogue's Passage or a swarm of 5/5 Dragon tokens from Lathliss and Dragonmaster Outcast. Secondary paths use treasure/artifact synergies (Goldspan Dragon, Academy Manufactor, Reckless Fireweaver) to ramp and ping, and the combat-draw enchantments Coastal Piracy and Bident of Thassa replace lost cards. There is no hidden commander and no infinite combo; the deck wins through repeated evasive attacks and ETB burn.
