“Flying dragon hoard that weakens blockers with every attack.”
Silumgar, the Drifting Death is a flying, hexproof dragon that punishes your opponent's board every time your dragons attack. The core gameplan is to build a dragon-focused deck that goes wide with flying threats while Silumgar chips away at blockers with its evasion and passive effect. Each attack triggers a board wipe effect that softens the opponent's defenses, making it easier for your dragons to slip through and deal damage.
You'll want to lean into blue and black's strengths: control magic to protect your dragons, card draw to fuel your threats, and efficient dragon lords that synergize with your flying creatures. The deck naturally plays a tempo game—holding up answers while advancing your dragon army—then pivots to aggressive attacks once you have critical mass. Silumgar's hexproof makes it a reliable finisher that's hard for opponents to remove, and the repeated board shrinking adds up fast against go-wide strategies.

Skip expensive dragon lords like Calix; use Frostwind Adjudicator, Sludge Strider, and cost-efficient flyers like Dragonlord's Servant and Dragon Whisperer to ramp and filter creatures instead.
