Deck overview

This deck leverages Rohgahh, Kher Keep Overlord to bridge zero-mana Kobolds with large flying Dragons. Early turns focus on establishing mana rocks and passive utility engines like Black Market Connections and Dragon Tempest. Once Rohgahh enters the battlefield on Turn 4, every cheap Kobold spell triggers the creation of 4/4 flying Dragons, while Dragon spells generate 0/1 Kobold tokens that receive a +2/+2 anthem. The deck rapidly converts these tokens into overwhelming damage using global amplifiers such as Purphoros, God of the Forge, Terror of the Peaks, Shared Animosity, and Coat of Arms. Card advantage engines like Skullclamp and Species Specialist capitalize on expendable Kobolds to sustain hand size. High-efficiency interaction like Deflecting Swat, Deadly Rollick, and Fire Covenant protects key threats while clearing opposing blockers, allowing the deck to close games through lethal aerial combat and direct enter-the-battlefield burn.
