Is Draconic Destruction worth buying?

from Starter Commander Decks: Are They Worth It? by Sean Migalla

I think Draconic Destruction is my first choice right out of the box. It plays well against the rest of the Starter Commander precons and can possibly even stand up to some Bracket 3 decks if you’re interested in trying the deck elsewhere. I think the deck suffers from a steep mana curve and little ramp, though, but there’s a decent amount of cost reduction to help make up for that.

I think this precon also serves as a good starter dragon deck since it gives you two of the more important colors for dragon decks. This is a good starting point for players to splash some blue and convert it into a Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm deck.

This deck also has a few good lands to get players started. Haven of the Spirit Dragon works for any color dragon deck, and Cinder Glade benefits from having basic land types to work in conjunction with Game Trail.

How Draconic Destruction plays

Atarka, World Render is the head dragon in charge of Draconic Destruction. This is a relatively straightforward dragon tribal deck without any specific sub-themes.

Your strategy for this deck is mainly to drop some big dragons and swing with them. Atarka and cards like Crucible of Fire help increase your dragons’ damage output. Aside from buffing up your dragons, you also have ways to give them trample with cards like Garruk's Uprising which help punch through the decks that are heavy on fliers in Starter Commander.
