Draco-Rivaz by Jerriodas

Format: Commander

Commander: Rivaz of the Claw

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Rakdos Dragon reanimator deck that uses Rivaz of the Claw to cast Dragons from the graveyard for value and to rebuild after removal. You fill the graveyard with Buried Alive, Entomb, and Final Parting, then cheat Dragons into play with Rivaz, Animate Dead, Necromancy, and Reanimate while cost reducers like Ruby Medallion and Urza's Incubator let you hard-cast them. The primary win is combat damage backed by ETB damage from Terror of the Peaks, Scourge of Valkas, and Dragon Tempest, with extra combats from Hellkite Charger and Scourge of the Throne. Two Worldgorger and Bladewing infinite loops with Molten Echoes provide a secondary combo finish when an outlet is on board.
