Deck overview

Eshki Dragonclaw leads a Temur midrange deck that converts the Adventure mechanic into rapid card advantage and overwhelming board presence. By casting an Adventure instant or sorcery and then casting a creature spell in the same turn, Eshki draws cards and grows into an imposing trampling threat. Cost reducers like Doc Aurlock, Grizzled Genius and Beluna Grandsquall discount spells cast from exile, enabling seamless double-spell turns. The deck achieves victory through combat, scaling large creatures alongside anthems and trample enablers such as Surrak and Goreclaw, Surrak Dragonclaw, and Roar of Endless Song to overwhelm the table with massive physical damage.
