🐉 Core Identity & Strategy

Commander Ability: The Ur-Dragon reduces the mana cost of your dragon spells, and whenever any dragons you control attack, you draw cards and may put a permanent from your hand onto the battlefield.
-
Tribal synergy is paramount: dragon lords, cost reducers, tempo buffs, and support cards all built around maximizing your dragon horde.
-
Heavy ramp and acceleration because you need to cast big dragons or cheat in threats early.
