Chromium

Chromium is a flying threat that punishes opponents for blocking inefficiently thanks to rampage, but the real challenge is keeping this elder dragon in play. You'll need to build around a reliable mana engine that lets you consistently pay {W}{U}{B} each turn, or lean into cards that cheat Chromium into play or protect it. The deck thrives on a Esper control shell that establishes board dominance while generating the specific mana needed to keep your commander alive. Once Chromium sticks around, it becomes a 7/7 flyer that only gets bigger when blocked by multiple creatures, making it a serious threat that closes out games quickly.

Your gameplan revolves around ramping early (especially fixing your three-color mana), then protecting Chromium with counterspells and removal while it attacks. Cards that reduce casting costs, generate colored mana, or let you flicker Chromium reset the upkeep payment clock. You can also win by grinding through control magic and incremental advantage—Chromium's inevitability combined with board wipes and counterspells eventually seals victory. The rampage mechanic rewards opponents for playing creatures, so you're essentially asking: do you block and take the pump, or let the dragon through?
