Overview:

This Temur Dragon tribal deck leverages Ureni of the Unwritten to cheat out high-impact Dragons while using ETB/attack synergies and combat damage as its primary win conditions. The strategy focuses on ramping into Ureni, generating value from Dragon triggers, and overwhelming opponents with flying threats supported by damage amplifiers like Dragon Tempest and Terror of the Peaks. While lacking infinite combos, it employs redundancy in cost reduction and Dragon-tribal payoffs to create explosive turns.

Primer:

Core Strategy:

1. Early Ramp: Deploy mana dorks (Birds of Paradise, Bloom Tender) and land tutors (Three Visits, Farseek) to cast Ureni by turn 4-5.
2. Commander Synergy: Use Ureni’s attack/ETB trigger to cheat Dragons like Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm or Old Gnawbone from the top 8 cards, creating immediate board presence.
3. Dragon Payoffs: Amplify damage with Scourge of Valkas, Terror of the Peaks, and Dragon Tempest. Generate value via Temur Ascendancy (haste + draw) and The Great Henge.
4. Redundancy: Backup cheat effects like Hellkite Courser and Selvala's Stampede mitigate commander dependence.

Mulligan Priorities:

• 3+ lands with green/blue/red sources.
• 1-2 ramp pieces (e.g., Sol Ring, Urza's Incubator).
• Avoid hands without early acceleration or color fixing.

Key Tips:

• Time Ureni’s cast to maximize Dragon density in the top 8.
• Protect critical Dragons with Heroic Intervention or Deflecting Swat.
• Use Roaming Throne (naming Dragon) to double ETB/attack triggers.

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Commander Reliance: Ureni’s high mana cost (6) and lack of haste make the deck vulnerable to repeated removal.
• Board Wipe Fragility: Limited recursion for Dragons beyond Haven of the Spirit Dragon.

Moderate

• Slow Recovery: Minimal card advantage engines outside combat phases.
• Anti-Flying Counters: Struggles against decks with flying blockers or Aetherize effects.

Minor

• Mana Base Speed: 9+ tapped lands delay early plays.

Most Important Cards:

• Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm
• Dragon Tempest
• Urza's Incubator
• Terror of the Peaks
• The Great Henge
• Scourge of Valkas
• Temur Ascendancy
• Old Gnawbone
• Goldspan Dragon
• Roaming Throne

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 6/10
Capable of threatening lethal via Dragon swarm by turns 7-8, but lacks fast mana or combo finishes.

Resilience: 5/10
Moderate protection (3 counterspells, 2 hexproof effects) but struggles to rebuild after wipes.

Consistency: 6/10
12+ cost reducers/ramp and Ureni’s card selection offset limited tutors.

Interaction: 5/10
5 targeted removal/counters and 2 board wipes; reactive tools are situational.

Rating Justification:

This deck operates as a midrange Dragon tribal build with explosive potential but no cEDH-level speed or resilience. Its turn 7-8 combat wins and moderate interaction align with the 4.5-5.5 range (Focused Casual to Optimized Casual).

Power level: 4.5 - 5.5
