Ascend with Sarkhan
Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant is a compact engine that converts Dragon entry into board presence. The card reads when Sarkhan enters, you may behold a Dragon. If you do, create a Treasure token. That immediate value helps you ramp into threats or pay for a follow up Dragon. As a 2 2 Legendary Creature — Human Druid for {1}{R}, Sarkhan is built to seed resources and stick around to grow.
Beyond the enter the battlefield trigger, the card turns incremental Dragon drops into incremental growth. Whenever a Dragon you control enters, put a +1/+1 counter on Sarkhan. Until end of turn, Sarkhan becomes a Dragon in addition to its other types and gains flying. In practice that means Sarkhan functions as both a catalyst for tempo and a threat that can join your air force. Near Mint condition and showcased art from Tarkir Dragonstorm make this a solid pick for Dragon tribal, Rakdos burn splashes, or a red commander build looking for reliable payoff. Add Sarkhan to your list when you want scalable synergy rather than a single flash of power.
