Dragonclaw Commander
Eshki Dragonclaw is a compact but decisive legend that rewards a mixed-cast strategy. This Near Mint Foil from Tarkir Dragonstorm presents Eshki as a 4/4 body with vigilance and trample, letting it both press damage and remain a steady blocker. The ward ability forces opponents to pay extra or lose tempo when removing Eshki, so it anchors a board plan while you set up spells that trigger its main payoff.
Functionally, Eshki Dragonclaw reads like a commander or midrange finisher for decks that weave creature and noncreature spells together. If you cast both types in a turn you get card advantage and two +1/+1 counters at the start of combat, which turns incremental resource investment into immediate battlefield presence. The card fits Temur style sequencing and helps smooth tempo across turns; use it where repeated value and resilient offense matter. Add this foil to a collection or deck and lean into flexible sequencing to get the most from its triggers.
