Surrak Dragonclaw
$2.76
Legendary Creature — Human Warrior

Temur creature deck that ramps into big threats nobody can counter and gives every other creature trample to push combat damage through.
Read more
Surrak has flash and can't be countered. While he's out, your creature spells can't be countered and your other creatures have trample. He doesn't give haste on his own, so lists often add cards like Temur Ascendancy for that. Since Surrak shuts off counterspells against creatures, blue decks can't stop your threats on the stack. The deck ramps into large creatures and uses trample to turn big bodies into damage even through chump blockers.
In the recorded games, the deck usually ramped with cards like Yavimaya Elder and then flooded the board. Genesis Wave put a large number of permanents into play at once, and Quicksilver Amulet cheated big creatures in early. Temur Ascendancy gave haste and drew cards off big creatures. Acidic Slime and Ruric Thar, the Unbowed added disruption, and Mind's Dilation stole value from opponents' spells. Surrak won through large trampling swings. Its weak points were missed land drops early, spot removal like Beast Within on a key creature, and control decks with sweepers, which uncounterable creatures don't protect against.
