Deck overview

This deck is a high-power 5-color Dragon Tribal strategy commanded by The Ur-Dragon. It uses passive Eminence cost reduction alongside top-tier mana rocks and dorks to deploy high-cost, game-ending dragons ahead of curve. The deck transitions rapidly from ramp into overwhelming board presence, utilizing enablers like Sneak Attack, Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm, Hellkite Courser, and Dragon Tempest to attack immediately with evasive threats. Card flow is sustained through enchantments like Garruk's Uprising and Guardian Project, while tutors like Demonic Tutor and Tiamat assemble decisive packages. In addition to overwhelming combat damage, the list contains a compact two-card infinite combo between Astral Dragon and Cursed Mirror, which creates infinite hasty dragon tokens for an instant win. The deck is shielded by free interaction including Fierce Guardianship and Deflecting Swat, with Living Death providing immediate resilience against mass removal.
