The (Dragon)Storm Approaches by Imposhibible

DeckCheck Threat Index: 80

Deck overview

This deck is a high-velocity Jund combo-storm engine commanded by Yurlok of Scorch Thrash. Rather than relying on symmetrical mana burn or slow attrition, the deck utilizes Yurlok primarily for color identity and early mana generation, focusing its entire shell on storming off into Dragonstorm. The deck leverages a dense array of low-cost mana dorks, fast artifacts, and rituals (Dark Ritual, Cabal Ritual, Seething Song, Jeska's Will, Treasonous Ogre) to amass 9+ mana and a storm count of 4 or higher by Turn 3-4. Upon resolving Dragonstorm, it pulls a curated package of dragons directly into play: Terror of the Peaks, Scourge of Valkas, Twinflame Tyrant, and Dragonlord Kolaghan. Together, their doubled ETB burn triggers and hasted combat damage eliminate all three opponents in a single explosive turn. Robust 0-1 mana protection spells and graveyard recursion via Past in Flames ensure high resilience.
