Zurgo and Ojutai

Legendary Creature — Orc Dragon

Flying, haste Zurgo and Ojutai has hexproof as long as it entered this turn. Whenever one or more Dragons you control deal combat damage to a player or battle, look at the top three cards of your library. Put one of them into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in any order. You may return one of those Dragons to its owner's hand.

How this commander wants to play

Zurgo and Ojutai is a Jeskai Dragon lord that turns your flying threats into a card-draw engine. Your core gameplan is simple: swing with Dragons, trigger the damage ability to dig through your library and refuel your hand, then optionally bounce Dragons back for repeatable value. The hexproof on entry makes it remarkably resilient—it dodges single-target removal on turn five and forces opponents to respect your developing board. You win by riding an evasive Dragon clock while staying ahead on resources, or occasionally going tall with a single flying threat protected by hexproof.

Same gameplan, less money

Skip pricey Dragon lords like Olduvaur; use budget flyers like Thundermaw Hellkite and Dragon's Rage Channeler, then sub in free ramp like Talisman of Progress instead of Mana Crypt.
