Some of my favorite memories from college were dorm drafts where one of us would walk to our local game store, buy a box of the latest set, and wed all gather that night to draft
I know Im guilty of it, but the concept of tempo in any game is roughly the same
40 life formats see most folks just taking 2 each of their upkeeps, but that can drop people more quickly than you realize
It doesnt require any particular synergy to be good, so it slots easily into any white deck, especially ones that want to ramp on turn two (which are most of them)
Your deck is much more likely to be clunky if the commander is not built to be a central or supportive aspect of the deck
By now, hundreds of Dragons can be found all throughout the game, and the strongest of them have incredible stats, devastating abilities, and a home in competitive decks in a variety of formats, most of all the Commander format
