Deck overview

Rivaz of the Claw leads a Rakdos Dragon tribal deck that blends ramp, graveyard recursion, and direct damage triggers. Rivaz accelerates high-cost Dragons onto the battlefield while providing continuous reanimation directly from the command zone. The deck filters through its library using looting spells to fill the graveyard with devastating flying threats. It wins by overwhelming opponents through aerial combat reinforced by repeated burn triggers from Terror of the Peaks, Scourge of Valkas, and Dragon Tempest. Mass reanimation spells like Patriarch's Bidding and Living Death return entire broods at once, dealing lethal burst damage and closing out games rapidly.
