Caldera Pyremaw — Ember of Tarkir
Caldera Pyremaw is a compact but threatening dragon that rewards a spell heavy gameplan. It enters as a 3/3 flier for {3}{R}{R} and grows every time you cast an instant or sorcery, gaining a +1/+1 counter and then dealing damage equal to its current power to a target opponent. The interaction is straightforward and repeatable, turning cantrips and burn into incremental reach and lethal bursts without complex setup.
In Commander builds from Tarkir era colors, Caldera Pyremaw slots into artifact and spellcentric shells where each extra cantrip accelerates its clock. The extended art print shown here gives a clear image of the dragon perched on a volcanic spire, useful for players who value presentation and tabletop readability. Add it to a red spells deck for efficient damage conversion and consistent midrange pressure. Pick one up now to sharpen your burn plan and close games faster.
