Deck overview

This Temur spells-matter deck is helmed by Eshki Dragonclaw, a 4/4 with vigilance, trample, and ward {1} that draws a card and grows +2/+2 each combat when you've cast both a creature and a noncreature spell that turn. The primary game plan is to trigger Eshki's ability every turn, accruing cards and counters while deploying value creatures like Savage Ventmaw and Spinerock Tyrant to build a combat-damage win. The deck leverages instant/sorcery synergies via cards with Opus (Exhibition Tidecaller), increment (Pensive Professor), and "prepared" mechanics (Sanar, Unfinished Genius) that copy spells or provide card selection. It lacks compact combos and instead aims to out-value opponents through repeated draw, land ramp, and large flying threats. Wins come through commander damage or general combat attrition, typically in the mid-to-late game.
