This has been my most "last minute" deck in a few years. I started sorting cards into piles on Tuesday night, but had to wait until Wednesday evening to actually put a proper list together. Sleeved it and drove to the game store for some games.

To my astonishment, this deck won its first outing. I had thought that I built a really janky deck, and in some sense I think that I did. The commander's main feature is to tutor for dragons, and this deck has 29 dragons, so it's usually better to just draw into them anyway. The right scenario might come up, but I actually never used Sivitri's -3 all game. I just kept using her +1. Despite some back-and-forth here, Quicksilver Amulet saved the game for me by deploying Ancient Silver Dragon. It's a powerhouse, but this was my first time using Ancient Silver Dragon. My opponents lacked flying blockers, so I got some hits in on them. I had Darkness in my hand the whole game, reserved for an emergency. Never needed it. So that was cool.

Once the board state looked like it could outpace my dragons, I hardcast Deathbringer Regent, wiping the board. I knew that the other three players would try to rebuild right away, but I had a plan. On my next turn, I played Karn's Bastion and used it to proliferate, getting Sivitri to 8 loyalty. Then I enchanted her with Liliana's Talent and activated the -8, annihilating my opponents with an army of the dead. A surprisingly epic performance from a jank deck.

Let's cut the card that won me the first game with this deck. That makes sense...

-1 Quicksilver Amulet
+1 Belbe's Portal
