Commander: Rivaz of the Claw

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Rivaz of the Claw is the mana/recursion engine in a Rakdos dragon-reanimator built around a hidden Worldgorger Dragon combo. The primary plan is to fill the graveyard-with Entomb, Buried Alive, Faithless Looting, or tutors-then attach a reanimation aura to Worldgorger Dragon and loop it for infinite mana and ETB triggers. Terror of the Peaks, Scourge of Valkas, or Dragon Tempest converts the loop into lethal damage. Secondary paths reanimate or hard-cast Drakuseth, Bogardan Hellkite, and Balefire Dragon, while Rivaz's once-per-turn graveyard cast and dragon mana sustain pressure. The commander improves the package but the reanimation shell can operate without him, making the deck only moderately dependent on Rivaz.
