How to Train my Dragons by amilani95

Format: Commander

Commander: The Ur-Dragon

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Five-color Dragon-tribal beatdown deck built to exploit The Ur-Dragon's Eminence discount and attack trigger. The primary plan is to accelerate with mana dorks, cost reducers, and treasure, cast large Dragons ahead of curve, then turn attacks into card draw and free permanents. Secondary paths are a Miirym/Molten Echoes copy burst with Terror of the Peaks damage, and a long-game upkeep win via Call the Spirit Dragons. The Ur-Dragon is the engine; if it attacks, the commander's draw-into-cheat trigger ends games. Nicol Bolas's front/back pair supplies discard and card draw, but it is a utility card rather than a hidden commander. The deck closes through combat and Dragon ETB damage, not an infinite loop.
