Rivaz of the Claw [High-Power Dragonstorm Combo] by Bant

Format: Commander

Commander: Rivaz of the Claw

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Rivaz of the Claw is a black-red Dragon reanimator/storm-combo deck. The primary plan is to put Worldgorger Dragon into the graveyard and reanimate it with Animate Dead or Necromancy while a Dragon-trigger damage outlet (Scourge of Valkas, Terror of the Peaks, or Dragon Tempest) is on the battlefield, repeating the loop to burn all opponents. Backup routes cheat and re-use big Dragons with Sneak Attack, Bladewing the Risen, and Lathliss, or assemble artifact/treasure wins via Hellkite Tyrant. Rivaz himself supplies mana and once-per-turn graveyard recursion, giving the deck a strong rebuild engine; Final Fortune and Dragonstorm can close games. It is tuned with fast mana, ten tutors, and flexible reanimation.
