Dragons and Treasure. A pair that have gone hand in hand since forever. This ones for you Smaug. So the goal of Gadrak is to get as many treasures as possible and use them in different ways to overpower your opponents. Whether its by spamming them out and dealing damage to your opponents with Reckless Fireweaver and Ghirapur AEther Grid or an X cost spell, Tapping them to untap other artifacts with clock of omens for card draw or mana, or sacrificing them to Dreamshaper Shaman to turn them into Dragons and artifacts, whatever use you choose you will want a lot of them.

Easily my favorite set up is using tokens + Clock of Omens + Idol of Oblivion to give you free card draw, something Mono red tends to be hungry for.

Once you have plenty of mana it's time to bring out Gadrak's friends. This deck is primarily Dragon tribal so the mana from the treasures will be spent getting out big fire breathing Dragons to over run your opponents. I think Gadrak is a very interesting and unique Commander with a lot of potential. The main upgrade if youre wishing to throw more money down is the Hellkite Tyrant. With the Treasure generation even without an attack this card can practically win you games. Mix this with Balefire Dragon attacks to wipe enemies board and generate more treasures and you will be scaring opponents in no time.
