Dragonback Assault — Ride the Skies
Dragonback Assault arrives as a tempo swing that clears the board and plants aerial threats. When it enters the battlefield it deals 3 damage to each creature and each planeswalker, letting you answer wide boards or finish off damaged threats. In practice this card gives you an instant board reset on resolution while preserving your long game plan.
The card also rewards land drops through its Landfall trigger that creates a 4/4 red Dragon token with flying whenever a land you control enters. That recurring threat converts incremental land plays into real clock pressure and pairs well with fetch lands and ramp. For players building around the Tarkir: Dragonstorm theme, Dragonback Assault is a reliable engine that blends removal and token generation in one enchantment.
