Overview:
A Dragon tribal deck led by Atarka, World Render that aims to win through commander damage and overwhelming dragon presence. The strategy revolves around ramping into powerful dragons and using Atarka's double strike ability to deal massive combat damage.
Primer:
The deck wants to establish early ramp through mana rocks and land-based ramp spells to cast dragons as quickly as possible. Focus on getting Atarka, World Render out with protection, then follow up with other dragons to build a threatening board presence. Key support pieces like Dragon Tempest and Crucible of Fire enhance the dragon army. Cost reduction effects from Dragonspeaker Shaman and Dragonlord's Servant help accelerate the gameplan. The deck can generate card advantage through dragon-specific card draw effects like Dragon's Hoard and Elemental Bond.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to board wipes and targeted removal, particularly against the commander. High mana costs make it susceptible to early aggression and stax effects. The deck can struggle if it doesn't establish proper ramp early, as many key pieces are expensive to cast.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 4/10
- Resilience: 5/10
- Consistency: 4/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a casual level, with a clear gameplan but relatively slow execution due to high mana costs and reliance on combat damage. While it includes some powerful dragons and synergies, it lacks the fast mana and consistent protection needed for higher power levels. The interaction suite is modest but serviceable for casual tables. The deck would struggle against focused decks (6.0+) but could hold its own against other casual strategies.
Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
