Deck overview

This deck is a five-color Dragon Tribal Stompy strategy commanded by The Ur-Dragon. The game plan leverages Eminence to discount expensive dragons by one mana throughout the entire game, allowing the deck to jump the mana curve rapidly alongside green land searchers and mana dorks. By Turns 3 and 4, the deck establishes haste enablers (Temur Ascendancy, Dragon Tempest, Rhythm of the Wild) and card draw engines (Garruk's Uprising, Elemental Bond, Rhystic Study). On Turn 5, it transitions to critical onset by resolving powerhouse dragons like Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm, Terror of the Peaks, Utvara Hellkite, or Hellkite Courser to cheat The Ur-Dragon into combat. It also possesses a compact infinite combat loop via Aggravated Assault and Savage Ventmaw. The deck overwhelms opponents with massive flying damage and direct burn, reliably closing games by Turn 6.
