Strategy
Kiora of Fire and Ashes is a straightforward token generator that creates a 5/5 flying Dragon when she enters and gives you a repeatable way to make more Dragons for eight mana. The core gameplan is to flood the board with flying threats while Kiora herself chips in for chip damage. You're looking to win through combat, either by attacking with your growing Dragon army or by using token synergies to amplify your threats. The deck leans into aristocrat payoffs and sacrifice outlets to turn your tokens into additional value—think cards that reward you for creatures entering or dying.
Build around Kiora by pairing her with effects that multiply token production or make your tokens bigger and harder to stop. Cards like Doubling Season or Parallel Lives turn each Dragon into two, while anthem effects and +1/+1 counter synergies push your aerial force past blockers. Don't sleep on sacrifice outlets and aristocrat effects that turn token death into card advantage or damage, turning each Dragon into a mini-engine. Red has great haste creatures and damage outlets that synergize well with a go-wide strategy.

Budget Build
Skip the pricey planeswalkers and focus on cheap token doublers like Doubling Season's budget cousins (Parallel Lives, Smothering Tithe for ramp), and fill the rest with affordable sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer and Goblin Bombardment.
