Overview:

This Temur Dragon tribal deck leverages Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm to double Dragon ETB effects and generate overwhelming board states. The strategy focuses on ramping into high-impact Dragons, cloning them via Miirym and support cards like Bramble Sovereign/Reflections of Littjara, and winning through combat with power multipliers like Thrakkus the Butcher or Temur Ascendancy. Secondary value engines like Dragon's Hoard and Garruk's Uprising sustain momentum, while combo potential exists with Displacer Kitten + ETB Dragons. Miirym is critical to the strategy but vulnerable to removal given its 6 CMC and lack of inherent protection beyond ward {2}.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

1. Early Setup (Turns 1-4): Prioritize ramping with Sol Ring, Dragonlord's Servant, Sarkhan, Soul Aflame, and land-fixing (e.g., Haven of the Spirit Dragon). Cast cost reducers like Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma to accelerate threats.
2. Deploy Miirym (Turns 4-6): Use ramp to cast Miirym, immediately doubling all subsequent Dragon ETBs. Protect it with Deflecting Swat or Fierce Guardianship.
3. Flood the Board (Turns 5-8): Drop Dragons with potent ETBs: Astral Dragon (copying noncreature permanents), Balefire Dragon (board control), Keiga, Tide Star (steal on death). Clone key Dragons via Extravagant Replication or Irenicus's Vile Duplication.
4. Win Conditions:
   • Combat: Amplify with Thrakkus the Butcher (doubling power), Lathliss, Dragon Queen (token generation), and Dragonstorm Globe (+1/+1 counters).
   • Combo: Displacer Kitten + noncreature spells (e.g., Ghostly Flicker) to repeatedly flicker Dragons like Astral Dragon for exponential token generation.
   • Value Overload: Omniscience enables free casting of Dragons from hand to trigger Miirym repeatedly.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 3+ lands (prioritize green sources) and at least 1 ramp piece (e.g., Sol Ring, Dragonlord's Servant).
• Prioritize early cost reducers (Sarkhan, Soul Aflame, Nogi, Draco-Zealot) or protection (Fierce Guardianship) if available.
• Avoid hands lacking ramp or with only high-CMC Dragons.

Key Tips:

• Use Ghostly Flicker on Miirym + another Dragon to dodge removal and create an extra token.
• Displacer Kitten synergizes with artifact/enchantment casts (e.g., Dragon's Hoard) to reset ETBs like Thunderbreak Regent or Parapet Thrasher.
• Eldritch Evolution sacrifices a Dragon token to tutor for Thrakkus or Lathliss.

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Commander Dependency: Miirym’s removal resets the deck’s momentum, and recasting it for 8+ mana is prohibitive.
• Board Wipes: Lacks mass recursion; Blasphemous Act is the only wipe and non-synergistic with the go-wide strategy.
• Anti-Token Tech: Cursed Totem/Torpor Orb nullifies Miirym’s cloning and key ETBs.

Moderate

• Mana Constraints: High dragon density and 3-color requirements strain fixing; tapped lands (e.g., Frontier Bivouac) slow early turns.
• Combo Fragility: Displacer Kitten lines require multiple pieces and are vulnerable to instant-speed interaction.

Minor

• Limited Stack Interaction: Only 4 counterspells/protection spells (e.g., Fierce Guardianship, Beast Within).
• Artifact Reliance: Key ramp (Sol Ring, Dragon's Hoard) is vulnerable to artifact removal.

Most Important Cards:

• Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm (Core enabler for token doubling)
• Thrakkus the Butcher (Combat multiplier for lethal swings)
• Displacer Kitten (Combo potential with ETB Dragons)
• Lathliss, Dragon Queen (Token generator for wide boards)
• Bramble Sovereign (Redundant cloning for Dragons)
• Temur Ascendancy (Haste enabler + card draw)
• Astral Dragon (Copies key noncreature permanents)
• Omniscience (Late-game free casts to flood the board)
• Garruk's Uprising (Trample + card draw)
• Fierce Guardianship (Protects Miirym and combos)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 6/10

• Can threaten wins via combat or Displacer Kitten combos by turns 7-8, but lacks fast mana (e.g., Mana Crypt) for explosive starts.

Resilience: 5/10

• Limited protection for Miirym and few ways to recover from board wipes beyond Blasphemous Act. Some recursion via Haven of the Spirit Dragon.

Consistency: 7/10

• High Dragon density (30+) and cost reducers ensure threats, but tutors are sparse beyond Eldritch Evolution.

Interaction: 4/10

• Minimal counterspells/removal (Beast Within, Spit Flame), relying on combat tricks and Dragon ETBs for control.

Rating Justification:

The deck’s speed aligns with T7-8 wins through combat or fragile combos, but its reliance on Miirym and vulnerability to common disruption caps its resilience. This positions it as a focused build with optimized elements but lacking the redundancy and protection of higher tiers.

Power level: 6.0 - 6.5
