Commander: Ognis, the Dragon's Lash

Sorcery (10)

Artifact (5)

One order of violence for you. Express delivery. Payment on receipt. Additional fees included. Pay up.

Ognis, the Dragon's Lash comes running out the gate with a full gang of dangerous speedsters, and she's taking the money you owe up front, no arguments. This was supposed to be a haste-creatures-only build with a Treasure subtheme and big payoffs to spend it on, but somewhere along the line in construction it got away from me and wound up--rather appropriately--redshifted.

As a result we're packing almost half the deck needing red mana symbols, with black and green running a distant second and far third, despite all being important. We've kept the haste-only theme--every single creature in the lineup has the keyword built in, no conditions required--but our treasure subtheme has been reduced to accomodate the burst-violence motif we're now gunning for.

Notable packages in the deck include:

  • A tiny removal package, kept small because we're aiming for overwhelming speed and force to carry us,
  • An equally tiny ramp package, all low to the ground because our early ramp is only aimed at speeding out Ognis earlier than curve and Inspiring Statuary fills any needed extra ramp that our Treasures don't already provide us,
  • some card advantage to keep us stocked on things to spend our treasures on,
  • some expensive wipes, because Blasphemous Act reduces its own cost, Gaze of Granite lets us funnel treasures into making it as big as we need, and In Garruk's Wake is crazy expensive but by the time we need it to close a game we can afford it,
  • and our X-cost finisher suite to burn treasures on smiting whichever opponents we're not beating to death with our hasted board.

Inidividual cards of note include Damping Matrix for locking down combo and nasty activated abilities while leaving our treasures available, Altar of the Brood for providing consistently brutal payoff for every land, creature, and treasure we slam onto the board, and Aid from the Cowl for being able to go off just from cracking a single treasure on our turn--and we'll have plenty of those, including some we can use to cast it in the first place to trigger it the same turn!
