Draconic Destruction by HyperionHawkwood

Format: Commander

Commander: Ganax, Astral Hunter and Acolyte of Bahamut

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Gruul Dragon tribal deck uses Ganax, Astral Hunter paired with Acolyte of Bahamut to accelerate heavy flying threats ahead of curve. Acolyte reduces the cost of your first Dragon spell each turn by two mana, while Ganax creates Treasure tokens whenever Dragons enter the battlefield. This generates explosive turns where large Dragons chain into one another. You win by overwhelming the table through rapid aerial combat damage, amplified by lethal enablers such as Atarka, World Render, Thrakkus the Butcher, and Scourge of Valkas, or through direct burn from Dragon Tempest and Drakuseth, Maw of Flames.
