$1.29
Legendary Creature — Orc Dragon

Jeskai dragon tempo where hasty, flying Zurgo and Ojutai digs a card on every hit, then closes with dragons or an Underworld Breach combo.
Read more
Zurgo and Ojutai has flying and haste, plus hexproof on the turn it enters. Whenever one or more Dragons you control deal combat damage to a player, you look at the top three cards, keep one, and may return one of those Dragons to your hand. That lets you recast a dragon for its enter trigger, or pick up the commander before it gets removed. Builds range from dragon typal to tight tempo with counterspells.
In the recorded games, an early Zurgo and Ojutai attack started a steady flow of card selection that kept the hand stocked. Anticipate and other cheap spells helped dig for the right pieces. Dragon lists used Herald's Horn, Dragon Tempest and Ancient Gold Dragon to push damage, while tighter builds used fast mana and Underworld Breach as the combo finish. Double strike made each hit count twice. Counterspells aimed at key turns slowed it down, and games where the commander could not connect left the deck short on cards.
