Blue Rush by DirtyMick

Format: Commander

Commander: Talrand, Sky Summoner

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a mono-blue drake-token deck built around Talrand, Sky Summoner. The primary plan is to chain instants and sorceries into a flying army, then finish with Banner of Kinship or Candlekeep Inspiration. Sakashima of a Thousand Faces, Sakashima the Impostor, and Spark Double can copy Talrand, making every cantrip produce multiple Drakes. Alandra, Sky Dreamer is the hidden commander: once heavy drawing starts, she adds Drakes and a hand-size pump. The deck also packs an unusually deep stack-control package, including Force of Will, Mana Drain, Fierce Guardianship, and Pact of Negation, protecting the setup until the drake tide overwhelms all opponents.
