Format: Commander

Commander: Rivaz of the Claw

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Rivaz of the Claw is a dragon-midrange value engine: it produces two dragon-only mana and reanimates one Dragon each turn, letting the deck cheat on curve. The primary plan is to stock the graveyard with Entomb/Buried Alive, then cast/reanimate flying dragons and win through combat. Secondary paths are treasure acceleration (Ancient Copper/Goldspan/Ganax/Smaug) and a small reanimation-combo package (Bladewing + Saw in Half) that can trigger double enters abilities. There is no hidden commander; the deck is built around Rivaz as an accelerant and recursion source, but it can operate without it because of separate reanimation and treasure engines. The commander's menace is incidental; the real value is mana and recursion.
