Ride the Dragon Tempest
Dragon Tempest is a compact red enchantment that accelerates aggressive dragon builds and rewards a skies heavy board. Cast for {1}{R}, it gives any creature with flying haste when it enters the battlefield and converts each dragon arrival into direct damage equal to your dragon count. The text is straightforward, but its impact in Commander matches the Tarkir theme where dragons dominate tempo and the battlefield is reshaped by each new hatchling.
The card fits into both tribal and token strategies. Give your flyers immediate pressure and turn each Dragon into a scalable removal tool or extra reach. In multiplayer games Dragon Tempest makes every dragon drop a meaningful currency for pinging opponents or clearing blockers. Experienced players will use it to sequence entries and maximize X damage while protecting key dragons until they resolve.
