How Draconic Rage plays

There’s one thing in particular I want to point out about this deck before anything else: it’s the first ever red and green Commander precon. There’s never been a Gruul Commander deck before this. And I think there’s a good reason for that. This isn’t a combination of colors that sees a lot of play in EDH. Ultra-aggro creature decks aren’t particularly strong against three or four players at a time.

This deck does what Gruul does best, though: putting a worrying number of giant creatures and crushing anything in its way. This deck’s commander, Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients, lets you create large tokens pretty easily. They can’t repeatedly damage your opponent, but they make for great blockers and threatening attackers.

I’m more fond of this deck’s alternative commander if I’m being honest. Wulfgar of Icewind Dale doubles anything that triggers when you attack. There’s plenty of amazing ways to really take advantage of this ability with some sweet payoffs, especially considering dragons like Atarka, World Render and Savage Ventmaw in your list.
