<p>Welcome to a article new series, <em>Commander Makeover</em>, where we'll look at a commander from among the <a href="https://edhrec.com/commanders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">top 200 on EDHREC</a> that's over two years old, and pick the best cards from the last two years that should be added to their decks.</p>
<p>Our first commander of the series sits at #1, and rightfully so. It's <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Ur-Dragon" href="#" target="_blank">The Ur-Dragon</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<h2>The Ultimate Dragon</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="The Ur-Dragon"></div></div>
<p>What <a href="https://mtg.wiki/page/Player_type#Timmy/Tammy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Timmy/Tammy</a> doesn't like to smack people with overgrown lizards? Our Commander costs a hefty nine mana, but we don't need to cast it to get value from it. This is thanks to its <em>eminence</em> ability, reducing the cost of every Dragon spell we cast by one.</p>
<p>If/when we do cast our commander, and get to swing, we draw cards and put any permanent into play. That's one heck of an ability.</p>
<p>That said, our commander was first printed nearly a decade ago in <a href="https://edhrec.com/precon#commander2017" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Commander 2017</em></a>, and a lot has changed since then. What cards should we be looking at then (Spoilers: One set dominates this list, and the word Dragon is part of the name)?</p>
<h2>New Cards for <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Ur-Dragon" href="#" target="_blank">The Ur-Dragon</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> Commander Decks</h2>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Dracogenesis" href="#" target="_blank">Dracogenesis</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dracogenesis"></div></div>
<p>Our first card for this article comes from <a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/tdm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Tarkir: Dragonstorm</em></a>, of which a fair few cards will make it here. There's a lot of Dragon support in the set, and Dracogenesis is no exception.</p>
<p>The ability to cast Dragons for free is a big deal, but it also non-bos with The Ur-Dragon itself. However, Dracogenesis costs eight mana, so you're not likely to cast it so quickly. Worse still, you might not even have Dragons to put down once this resolves.</p>
<p>However, it does leave mana open to interact and protect your board.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ureni of the Unwritten" href="#" target="_blank">Ureni of the Unwritten</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Ureni of the Unwritten"></div></div>
<p>Wow, that's a doozy. While Dracogenesis leans more on a 50/50 side of things, Ureni is an absolute slam dunk into an Ur-Dragon deck. Sure, seven mana is a lot to pay, but we're bound to be running a heavy load of ramp anyway.</p>
<p>Also, when running enough Dragons (and we will!), we're very easily going to hit a creature that'll make the heavy initial investment worth it.</p>
<p>Ureni's also one of those cards that, if unchecked, will snowball and run away with the game, so it's very much a "kill-on-sight" card. But you'll almost always get at least one Dragon out of the ability.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Twinflame Tyrant" href="#" target="_blank">Twinflame Tyrant</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Twinflame Tyrant"></div></div>
<p>I love me a damage doubler, and Twinflame Dragon doesn't disappoint. It's one of the cheaper options, essentially costing four mana to cast with our Dragon discount. It also puts our opponents on a clock to deal with it before the damage gets out of hand.</p>
<p>Note that this doubles the damage from <em>any</em> source we control. But let's face it, it's going to be our lizards doing the talking. Dealing double damage to permanents also gives a sort of reach that Dragons could use to take out threats, but that isn't saying much since they're huge anyway.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Betor, Kin to All" href="#" target="_blank">Betor, Kin to All</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Betor, Kin to All"></div></div>
<p>This inclusion might have some of you scratching your heads. Why on earth would I be including a card so famously found in toughness matters decks here? Because Dragons naturally have big stats, including toughness, so this version of Betor is bound to do some silly things here.</p>
<p>At worse, they'll draw us a card, perhaps untap our Dragons so they can block. If we get to the last mode, we'll likely be in a position to win anyway. That'll just soften up our opponents for the finishing blow.</p>
<p>It can feel win-more, but Betor's worth it for the other two abilities alone.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Scavenger Regent" href="#" target="_blank">Scavenger Regent</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Scavenger Regent"></div></div>
<p>Four-drops are rare in Dragon decks, and it's always bothered me. Thankfully, this is a good one to add. The creature half isn't much, but it's the Omen half where this card shines.</p>
<p>Like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Crux of Fate" href="#" target="_blank">Crux of Fate</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> before it, this will spare our Dragons while killing off everything else. As a bonus, it gets around indestructible. That said, you may have to pay a considerable amount of mana into it for it to be effective. On the other hand, casting Exude Toxin will cause the card to get shuffled back into the deck, allowing us to cast it more than once. That is, assuming we draw into it again.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Broodcaller Scourge" href="#" target="_blank">Broodcaller Scourge</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Broodcaller Scourge"></div></div>
<p>This might cost a bit of mana, but that comes with the creature type. That said, getting permanents out for (somewhat) free is huge, as the Ur-Dragon already demonstrated. As a bonus, we get a permanent out for each opponent we hit. The more damage dealt, the bigger the card we can put in.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Smuggler&#039;s Surprise" href="#" target="_blank">Smuggler&#039;s Surprise</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Smuggler&#039;s Surprise"></div></div>
<p>I'm quite sure you're thinking what I'm thinking: It's about time we got a card that's not from <em>Tarkir Dragonstorm</em>! This card is actually very flexible in what it can do. The worst option is to pay for just the first mode. While this isn't bad, it's not ideal for our expensive Dragons.</p>
<p>The other two options are where this card shines; from there, the worst we could do is a pseudo-<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Heroic Intervention|cmm|295" href="#" target="_blank">Heroic Intervention</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Otherwise, we can dump some Dragons out, or perhaps the two we get back, should we decide to pay for the first mode (Just don't pay for that alone. That's for Graveyard decks).</p>
<p>Being instant-speed makes Smuggler's Surprise even better, not just because we can protect our board more reliably, but also get around that accursed summoning sickness our lizards will have when they enter.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Call the Spirit Dragons" href="#" target="_blank">Call the Spirit Dragons</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Call the Spirit Dragons"></div></div>
<p>Let's face it: we have to be the luckiest devils in the world to pull off that win condition. Our opponents will see this coming from a trillion miles away, and will do anything they can to remove the enchantment or disrupt our board to keep us off that win condition.</p>
<p>Worst case scenario, this grants our Dragons indestructible, which does help ease our minds a bit. That said, when we're going against three other people, someone will likely have a way to remove the enchantment.</p>
<p>The key to get there faster is <a href="https://mtg.wiki/page/Changeling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">changelings</a>. They're cheap, and they come down reliably. An Ur-Dragon deck filled with pretend-Dragons is where this card will truly make its home.</p>
<h3>The Dragonstorm Cycle from <em>Tarkir: Dragonstorm</em></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Encroaching Dragonstorm"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Roiling Dragonstorm"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Breaching Dragonstorm"></div></div>
<p>Each of these have an effect when they enter, then can be bounced when a Dragon comes in so we can cast it again. That said, only the ones pictured above (<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Encroaching Dragonstorm" href="#" target="_blank">Encroaching Dragonstorm</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Roiling Dragonstorm" href="#" target="_blank">Roiling Dragonstorm</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Breaching Dragonstorm" href="#" target="_blank">Breaching Dragonstorm</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>) are worth running. Considering it's Dragons, it's not surprising that red got the best card in the cycle, but the green one comes quite close.</p>
<p>The card quality then drops off to Roiling Dragonstorm (we've likely got better choices for card advantage). The other two are not worth it.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Frostcliff Siege" href="#" target="_blank">Frostcliff Siege</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Frostcliff Siege"></div></div>
<p>The ideal mode for Frostcliff Siege is Temur. We're likely going to have better ways to draw boatloads of cards, so we can prioritize giving haste to our creatures. Giving trample is icing on the cake, and would go a long way to soften up our opponents, making them tasty morsels.</p>
<p>To pick the Jeskai mode means you're desperate for card draw, which, if you build the deck right, should be a non-issue.</p>
<h2>Only the Beginning</h2>
<p>The way things came out, this may as well have been an article for <em>Tarkir: Dragonstorm</em> that's almost one year overdue. Frankly, here's hoping this is just an anomaly and not the trend. That being said, none of it comes as a surprise, considering our commander.</p>
<p>The week after next will be the next installment, where we learn why Vampires suck so bad (That was a joke).</p>


Newer Cards to Give The Ur-Dragon Decks a Makeover

<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Dragon Tempest|c17|134" href="#" target="_blank">Dragon Tempest</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> | Art by Willian Murai</em></p>
<p><em>Magic</em> is a complicated game; Commander, as a format, is especially so. When it comes to building decks, one of the easier on-ramps is to appeal to the familiar: start with cards that are designed to work with each other, that reference each other by name, and get a feel for how they play together. That’s the premise of this column; each week we build a deck around a creature type, which delivers on the “feel” of the type. Today, we’re talking about one of the more notorious creature types in all of <em>Magic</em>: Dragons.</p>
<p>According to the EDHREC stats, <a href="https://edhrec.com/tags/kindred" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dragons are the most popular creature type</a>, with almost 73,000 decks built. They've been part of <em>Magic</em> since the beginning, with <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Shivan Dragon" href="#" target="_blank">Shivan Dragon</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> as one of the more iconic early game finishers. More recently, there have been a few preconstructed decks providing specific support, as well as two <em>Dungeons and Dragons</em> sets, and a new Dragon-focused Tarkir set. It seems like Dragons are all over the multiverse, with each set adding to their ranks. While more than twice as many Dragons are in red as any other color, each color has solid representation, and our deck will highlight the full range of the type.</p>
<h2>Notable Dragons</h2>
<p>As mentioned, there have been a few Dragon-themed Commander decks, one of which supplied the second most-popular commander of all time: <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Ur-Dragon" href="#" target="_blank">The Ur-Dragon</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. <em>Eminence</em> is one of the strongest abilities in the game, operating from the command zone as long as our commander is there. Thankfully the ability is limited to typal decks, but our commander might just be the strongest of the lot, providing access to all five colors from its color identity and a universal cost reduction from its <em>eminence</em> ability. Even if we never cast it, that is a <em>ton</em> of value.</p>
<p><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="The Ur-Dragon"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Scavenger Regent"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Atarka, World Render"></div></div><br />
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Silumgar, the Drifting Death"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dromoka, the Eternal"></div></div></p>
<p>The first trip to Tarkir provided a cycle of legendary Dragons that all trigger when a Dragon attacks. These abilities can trigger multiple times and they can stack, causing our flying horde to become deadlier and deadlier the more Dragons we have. This is where <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Ur-Dragon" href="#" target="_blank">The Ur-Dragon</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> outshines other Dragon commanders: the discount lets us cast multiple spells in a turn, dominating the mid- to late-game.</p>
<p><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Ojutai, Soul of Winter"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Teneb, the Harvester"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Bladewing the Risen"></div></div><br />
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Thrakkus the Butcher"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Steel Hellkite"></div></div></p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kolaghan, the Storm&#039;s Fury" href="#" target="_blank">Kolaghan, the Storm&#039;s Fury</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Scourge of Valkas" href="#" target="_blank">Scourge of Valkas</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> help the deck hit the ground running. Kolaghan provides haste while Scourge deals damage when Dragons enter, so the Dragons can do more than sit there menacingly - although they do that quite well.</p>
<p><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Kolaghan, the Storm&#039;s Fury"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Ganax, Astral Hunter"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Scourge of Valkas"></div></div><br />
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Korlessa, Scale Singer"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Lathliss, Dragon Queen"></div></div></p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bloomvine Regent" href="#" target="_blank">Bloomvine Regent</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> represents a new type of Dragon introduced in the latest foray into Tarkir: the Omens. With its secondary sorcery side, the Regent is able to be an early-game <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Cultivate" href="#" target="_blank">Cultivate</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and a late-game Dragon, all in one card. Since we want both effects, it’s a natural fit!</p>
<p><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Sunscorch Regent"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Rith, Liberated Primeval"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Utvara Hellkite"></div></div><br />
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Earthquake Dragon"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Bloomvine Regent"></div></div></p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Amareth, the Lustrous" href="#" target="_blank">Amareth, the Lustrous</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is an unassuming but powerful Dragon. Since the deck is mostly permanents, including the Omen Dragons, there’s a strong likelihood of flipping more giant scaly beasties with the ETB effect.</p>
<p><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Sagu Wildling"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dragonlord Ojutai"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Thunderbreak Regent"></div></div><br />
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Amareth, the Lustrous"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Broodmate Dragon"></div></div></p>
<p>One of the stronger <em>Dungeons and Dragons</em> additions was <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lozhan, Dragons&#039; Legacy" href="#" target="_blank">Lozhan, Dragons&#039; Legacy</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, which is one of several other potent Dragon commanders, albeit without the speed or options that The Ur-Dragon provides. As a role-player, however, Lozhan slings damage and domes opponents for huge chunks.</p>
<p><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Scalelord Reckoner"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Jeskai Shrinekeeper"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dragonlord Dromoka"></div></div><br />
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Lozhan, Dragons&#039; Legacy"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Wasitora, Nekoru Queen"></div></div></p>
<h2>Dragon Support Cards</h2>
<p>As a popular creature type, there are many cards that specifically reference Dragons. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Crucible of Fire" href="#" target="_blank">Crucible of Fire</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is arguably the most on-the-nose. Making giant scaly monsters slightly giant-er may seem like it’s not doing much, but it’s actually quite solid in a deck that wants permanents and seeks to blot out the skies with flyers before opponents can stabilize.</p>
<p><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Encroaching Dragonstorm"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Breaching Dragonstorm"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Crucible of Fire"></div></div><br />
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dragon Tempest"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Draconic Muralists"></div></div></p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sarkhan&#039;s Triumph" href="#" target="_blank">Sarkhan&#039;s Triumph</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is a Dragon tutor, which helps multifaceted decks like this find the piece they need when they need it. While some decks use tutors to find specific answers, we actually use it to find specific threats: haste enablers, direct damage, flying power…all of these are things we can find.</p>
<p><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Wrathful Red Dragon"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Firespitter Whelp"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dragonologist"></div></div><br />
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Temur Ascendancy"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Sarkhan&#039;s Triumph"></div></div></p>
<h2>Ramp Spells for Dragons</h2>
<p>Our primary role players are ramp spells. Dragons cost a lot of mana and we need fixing to cast them on time. In particular, the Orbs of Dragonkind provide additional effects when used to cast Dragons, which plan to do kind of a lot.</p>
<p><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dragonstorm Globe"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dragon&#039;s Hoard"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Carnelian Orb of Dragonkind"></div></div><br />
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Jade Orb of Dragonkind"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Lapis Orb of Dragonkind"></div></div></p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Chromatic Lantern" href="#" target="_blank">Chromatic Lantern</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is a bit of a controversial inclusion nowadays, as there are far stronger turn-three plays. Here, however, it’s much more than a three-mana rock; it fixes our mana and lets us use lands of any kind to make mana of any color.</p>
<p><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Chromatic Lantern"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Arcane Signet"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Fellwar Stone"></div></div><br />
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dragonbroods&#039; Relic"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Pillar of Origins"></div></div></p>
<h2>Removal Spells</h2>
<p>The other type of role player we need is removal spells: ways to break parity and navigate clogged boards. One of our biggest obstacles is high-toughness, vigilant creatures, such as those created by Voltron decks. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Crux of Fate" href="#" target="_blank">Crux of Fate</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is a one-sided board wipe (choosing non-Dragons to kill, of course), which is a particularly nasty way of leveraging our large flyers for a dominating board.</p>
<p><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Crux of Fate"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Disruptive Stormbrood"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Twinmaw Stormbrood"></div></div><br />
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Spit Flame"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dragon&#039;s Fire"></div></div></p>
<p>The other major obstacle for us is troublesome noncreature permanents. Our attack with large creatures plan can be stuffed by a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Propaganda" href="#" target="_blank">Propaganda</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> or two, and our burn ‘em out plan can be squelched by a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Leyline of Sanctity" href="#" target="_blank">Leyline of Sanctity</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> effect. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Beast Within" href="#" target="_blank">Beast Within</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Generous Gift" href="#" target="_blank">Generous Gift</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> are solid catch-alls, which have the downside of giving the opponent a body. However, that downside is mitigated by the fact that the bodies we give don’t have flying!</p>
<p><div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Osseous Exhale"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Beast Within"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Generous Gift"></div></div><br />
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Piercing Exhale"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dragonback Assault"></div></div></p>
<h2>The Ur-Dragon Deck List</h2>
<p>The game plan for our deck is fairly straightforward: make big Dragons; turn them sideways; win the game. We have ways, including our commander, to get them out faster, and ways to push them through using removal, until our opponents are buried in the shade of our scaly wings.</p>
