Deck overview

This deck is a high-power 5-color Dragon Tribal stompy build commanded by The Ur-Dragon. The game plan leverages the commander's Eminence ability to reduce the mana cost of all Dragon spells by one throughout the game, allowing the deck to cast game-warping threats ahead of curve. The early turns focus on establishing green land ramp, artifact acceleration, and haste enablers like Dragon Tempest and Temur Ascendancy. By turns 4 and 5, the deck deploys high-impact Dragons such as Hellkite Courser, Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm, and Terror of the Peaks, generating immediate card advantage and burst damage. The deck finishes the table around turn 6 through massive aerial combat damage and direct damage triggers, amplified by damage doublers and token generators like Utvara Hellkite. Robust protection spells and recursion options provide resilience against board wipes.
