Drake by SpagNoodle

Format: Commander

Commander: Talrand, Sky Summoner

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Talrand turns every instant and sorcery into a flying drake. This deck maximizes that by filling the 99 with cheap cantrips, counterspells, and card draw to generate an overwhelming air force. Secondary token generators like Alandra and Murmuring Mystic provide backup. Pump effects like Favorable Winds and Heraldic Banner accelerate the clock. Cost reducers like Baral and Sapphire Medallion allow chaining multiple spells per turn. A single copy of Time Stretch can grant extra combat phases. The deck wins through combat damage from drakes, with Rogue's Passage to bypass blockers. It packs heavy interaction to protect its board and disrupt opponents.
