Ascend with Sarkhan
Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant arrives as a compact and versatile Legendary Creature that rewards a dragon focused build. The Light Play Foil showcase treatment from Tarkir Dragonstorm gives this {1}{R} two drop both table presence and collectible appeal. When Sarkhan enters the battlefield you may behold a Dragon and if you do you immediately generate a Treasure token, a tidy ramp bullet that accelerates your next play or fuels a storm of dragons.
He scales naturally as your dragon count grows. Each time a Dragon you control enters the battlefield you place a +1/+1 counter on Sarkhan and you can push him into the air for a surprise angle of attack since until end of turn he becomes a Dragon in addition to his other types and gains flying. As a 2 2 Legendary Human Druid he slots into aggressive midrange shells or as an early piece in a token and dragon synergies deck. Add this Light Play Foil to a Sarkhan or red dragon build for efficient growth and repeatable payoff.
