About this deal
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Despite its clunky nature, Draconic Rage can still function and achieve its goals and win conditions. Let’s not forget the fact that Vrondiss makes some impressively sized token creatures—whopping 5/4 Dragon Spirits! The Boardwipe that hits artifacts and enchantments is nice and I'd probably put the chaos dragon in my tribal dragon deck so we have an actual low-drop. Below, you'll find each deck, added day by day, with a link to where it was previewed sharing details about the new cards, contents, and playstyle for the deck!
The long and short of it is that Neverwinter Hydra is incredibly swingy, but your expected value is always going to end up being less than a doubled-up Voracious Hydra, which has removal as a secondary mode instead of the ward. Better yet, you also get to untap your Creatures at the beginning of that combat step, and your Creatures all get +1/+0 for each time they’ve attacked that turn. Despite being one of the largest and most fearsome red dragons in Faerûn, Klauth is sometimes moved by strange whims to perform acts of kindness for creatures he doesn’t think can harm him. The deck seems to be fairly well balanced overall, however, I do think that it lacks the impetus needed to make either the enrage mechanic or the dice rolling enrage enabler mechanic work efficiently. Draconic Rage is a clunky but powerful deck that can really pick up steam in the midgame and quickly overwhelm the other players at the table.
Wizards, since 2018, you have printed fourteen commanders that double triggers, double spells, or double counters when they're on the field. Godzilla, King of the Monsters” encourages “power matters” strategies, and my main Tahngarth is a great goad commander since it likes to join the attack party whenever it can.
These decklists are not card-for-card product displays but rather interactive lists of the cards included in each deck. Auch die Dungeon Mechanic die in allen Decks vorhanden ist, fühlt sich belohnend an und nicht als wenn sie ohne Gedanken einfach dazu addiert wurde.I also thought since some of the enrage enablers in the deck may kill my commander or some other big nasty I didn’t want dead, I had to build in ways to recur them, so I added Serpent Skin, Jolrael’s Favor (both of which can be played at instant speed) and Fortitude to help keep whichever creature I needed most at the time on the board. If your commander has first strike, you can even kill your opponent before their blockers crack back! Nobody wants to be the person who takes one for the team, especially considering it's not as infuriating to fight against as Ruric Thar, the Unbowed. Welcome to the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Commander Draconic Rage Review, brought to you by Commander's Herald. Indomitable Might grants a substantial power boost and nullifies enemy blockers without an expensive Rogue's Passage activation.
I already didn't like Fractal Harness, and Sword of Hours has the exact same problem in that Hydra's Growth exists. Well, for six mana, Moraug, Fury of Akoum, is a 6/6 that lets you have an additional combat phase whenever you play a land. If you’re interested in keeping Draconic Rage mostly intact and are just looking for ways to upgrade it, be sure to check out the Upgrades!Not only do you become the monarch when this card ETBs, but if you can stay that way you get to make a 5/5 dragon at the beginning of your upkeep for as long as you wear the crown.
I also thought a little more ramp and card draw would be useful so I included Seer’s Sundial, Tireless Provisioner, and Yavimaya Elder. Sword of Hours also plays nicely with dice-rolling strategies, but it’s also awesome with the countless +1/+1 counter strategies out there. There are only 10 cards that enable dice rolling in the deck and although they do provide for some great random shenanigans like Chaos Dragon and Maddening Hex, I don’t feel that there are enough cards to make this a viable strategy to engage the wrath of Vrondiss to make dragon spirits.It will almost never have to dig to find one, and will have plenty of replacements if an important attacker is removed.
