“Green Dragon lord that grows with your Dragon squad and graveyard synergies.”
Skanos Dragonheart is a green Dragon lord that grows dramatically whenever it swings, drawing power from your other Dragons and any Dragons hanging out in your graveyard. This makes it a natural fit for a Dragon-focused deck that values both board presence and graveyard synergy. You'll want to fill your deck with efficient Dragons at all mana costs—early ones to pressure opponents, mid-game threats to establish dominance, and powerful late-game finishers that also pump Skanos when you attack.
The deck plays as a midrange beatdown strategy with a graveyard angle. Since Skanos cares about Dragons in your graveyard, you'll naturally want self-mill effects and cheap ways to bin Dragons (like cycling or discard outlets), turning your dead draws into late-game fuel. Your Background companion opens up interesting color-splash options if you want, though pure green builds work great too. You're essentially swinging with a 4/4 that becomes a 7/7 or bigger once you've built a small Dragon army, then closing out games with commander damage or an overwhelming board.

Skip expensive Dragon staples like Fabled Passage; use basic ramp like Llanowar Elves, Cultivate, and Kodama's Reach instead. Budget Dragons like Dragonlord's Servant and Demanding Dragon do the job fine.
