Deck overview

This is an Izzet Dragon-tribal deck helmed by Firkraag, Cunning Instigator, built around a goad-and-draw engine. Firkraag's haste lets him attack the turn he lands, goading an opponent's creature and then drawing a card and growing whenever a goaded creature deals combat damage. The deck floods the board with evasive, high-power Dragons, uses goad effects to force opponents into attacking each other, and closes games through combat damage backed by a burn package (Terror of the Peaks, Scourge of Valkas, Repercussion plus damage wipes). Secondary lines include Great Train Heist for extra combats, Dragonstorm for a storm-fueled dragon dump, and Underworld Breach for graveyard recursion. It is a fair, midrange strategy that wins through incremental flying beats and table-wide burn rather than fast combos.
