Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients Commander Precon

Forgotten Realms Commander100 cards

Vrondiss Gruul Dragons deck: it ramps into a stream of big flying Dragons and 5/4 Dragon Spirit tokens, then overwhelms the table with oversized, damage-amplified attacks. Vrondiss is the token engine. Every time it is dealt damage it can make a 5/4 Dragon Spirit, and every dice roll lets it ping itself. So dice-rolling cards, self-targeted burn and sweepers that hit its own board all become token makers, while the many power-4-plus bodies feed card draw, enter triggers and damage doublers. How it wins: It floods the board with Dragons and 5/4 tokens, then swings with haste, double strike, trample and doubled damage, often with enter-the-battlefield burn going face, to kill opponents in one or two big combats. Key roles: - Enrage token engine: Vrondiss turns dice rolls and any damage to itself into 5/4 Dragon Spirits. Cheap self-pings and board-wide damage double as token generation, and these one-shot attackers sacrifice themselves after dealing damage, which feeds leave-the-battlefield pings. (Rile, Chain Reaction, Outpost Siege) - Dice package: Cards that roll dice each trigger Vrondiss's self-damage for another token. One card adds an extra roll and pumps a creature whenever dice are rolled, and the rest provide ramp, creatures, removal or combat control on top. (Barbarian Class, Component Pouch, Neverwinter Hydra) - Dragon tribal and cost reduction: Discount creatures, Dragon-only mana and tribal payoffs make a heavy curve of 5- and 7-drop Dragons castable. Each Dragon that enters fuels burn, card draw and tribal tutoring. (Dragonspeaker Shaman, Scourge of Valkas, Kindred Summons) - Enter-the-battlefield damage: Every big body or token that enters deals damage around the table, so 5/4 tokens and Dragons are burn as well as attackers. (Warstorm Surge, Bogardan Hellkite, Demanding Dragon) - Big-power card advantage: Many creatures with power 4 or more turn the board into steady card draw, and attack-triggered mana lets the deck redeploy mid-combat. (Garruk's Uprising, Rishkar's Expertise, Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient) - Combat amplifiers and finishers: Double strike, doubled damage, trample, haste and mass pumps turn a wide board of 5-power fliers into lethal alpha strikes. Doubled attack triggers also multiply attack-based mana and payoffs. (Gratuitous Violence, Atarka, World Render, Wulfgar of Icewind Dale)
