Strategic Overview

The Ur-Dragon deck aims to ramp quickly into powerful dragons, overwhelming opponents with massive threats. Grand Arbiter Augustin IV seeks to slow down the game with tax effects and control spells, aiming to outlast and control the board. The Ur-Dragon should focus on early ramp and uncounterable threats, while Grand Arbiter should prioritize counterspells and removal to handle dragons.
