A deck designed for fast, aggressive damage. The goal is to put large amounts of pressure on the opponent's life total with cards that serve multiple functions.

The centerpiece of the deck is of course Sarkhan, Fireblood. Mana acceleration and hand fixing through the looting effect finds the cards you want and helps keep the pressure on.

The biggest value Sarkhan brings to the table is speeding up the dropping of Scourge of Valkas. Scourge and Dragon Tempest function as the deck's core pressure outlet. Every new addition comes with damage to clear the board with or point upstairs to end the game with.

Tying the deck together are a series of high pressure cards that push the clock further. The three cards that do this most effectively are Demanding Dragon, Risk Factor, and Thunderbreak Regent. These 3 cards keep your game plan leaning forward, threatening large quantities of damage, or the alternative, large quantities of damage. While Draconic Roar is slightly more situational, it also contributes to this game plan, pushing back against the board state and still pressing more damage.
