Goad and Dragon Control - Firkraag, Cunning Instigator - Custom Commander Deck

Firkraag, Cunning Instigator (Izzet - Blue/Red) Goad and Dragon Control Deck

Commanded by Firkraag, Cunning Instigator, this deck is a unique blend of Dragon tribal and goad mechanics, designed to create chaos on the battlefield by forcing opponents’ creatures to attack each other, while you capitalize on the resulting damage and combat interactions. Through goading and Dragons, this deck disrupts opponents’ strategies, while Firkraag’s abilities give you card draw and power boosts.

Key Strategies:

• Goad Mechanic for Battlefield Control: Firkraag and cards like Bothersome Quasit, Disrupt Decorum, and Sly Instigator ensure that your opponents’ creatures are consistently goaded, forcing them to attack other players. This disrupts opponents’ defenses and opens them up to further attacks.

• Dragon Synergy: The deck includes powerful Dragons like Drakuseth, Maw of Flames, Iymrith, Desert Doom, and Keiga, the Tide Star, each adding strong offensive or defensive capabilities. Dragon Tempest provides haste and direct damage for each Dragon that enters the battlefield, while Dragon’s Hoard ramps your mana and provides card draw.

• Draw and Filtering Spells: Firkraag’s ability to draw cards each time a goaded creature deals damage ensures you rarely run out of cards. Additional draw spells like Opt, Impulse, Compulsive Research, and Cathartic Reunion help you maintain resources and find key pieces.

• Burn and Board Control: Cards like Fiery Cannonade and Lightning Bolt provide targeted or area-based removal, allowing you to keep the board under control and eliminate smaller threats. Propaganda and Goblin Spymaster create barriers to discourage attacks toward you, keeping opponents focused on each other.

Finishers and Win Conditions:

• Firkraag’s Scaling Power: As Firkraag gains +1/+1 counters from goaded creatures dealing damage, he becomes a significant threat, building up power and card advantage as the game progresses.
• Dragon Assault: Leveraging the raw power of creatures like Drakuseth, Maw of Flames and Red Dragon, you can overwhelm opponents with devastating attacks, often combining with Spectacular Showdown for massive, double-strike attacks.
• Chaos through Goad: By forcing opponents’ creatures into combat with each other, you keep their defenses down and ensure that they remain distracted, leaving them vulnerable to your Dragon onslaught.

This deck excels at creating chaos through goad, controlling the battlefield with Dragons, and using Firkraag’s abilities to build up resources and power. It’s a versatile, disruptive deck that forces opponents into difficult situations and capitalizes on their weakened defenses.
