Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant — Ascend with Purpose
Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant from Tarkir Dragonstorm plays like a compact engine for dragon strategies. The card plugs into token and counter synergies, offering a reliable enter the battlefield trigger that lets you behold a Dragon and create a Treasure token when you choose. That immediate value helps smooth early mana or fuel further Dragon summons while the recurring ability to put a +1/+1 counter on Sarkhan whenever a Dragon enters keeps him growing as the board develops.
The printed text also grants Sarkhan a flexible combat role. When you make him a Dragon, he gains flying until end of turn which turns incremental card advantage into tempo. This Near Mint Foil exemplar is ideal for players and collectors who run red heavy Dragon lists or value showpiece planeswalker adjacent creatures. Practical in draft or commander where Treasure and enter the battlefield synergies matter, Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant rewards sequence planning and board timing. Add this to a Dragonstorm or red midrange shell to amplify creature entry plays and incremental growth.
