Deck overview

This deck is a Rakdos Dragon Reanimator strategy commanded by Bladewing the Risen. The primary game plan accelerates mana on early turns, stocks the graveyard with massive Dragon threats using Entomb, Buried Alive, or looting spells, and reanimates them well ahead of curve using cheap recursion like Reanimate and Animate Dead. The deck threatens an immediate infinite finish via Worldgorger Dragon looped with an aura reanimation enchantment and an enter-the-battlefield damage source like Terror of the Peaks or Dragon Tempest. If the combo is interrupted, the deck pivots smoothly into Dragon stompy, deploying overwhelming flying threats like Utvara Hellkite and Ancient Copper Dragon to close the game through combat damage and direct burn triggers.
