Ascend with Sarkhan
Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant is a compact engine for dragon decks and a practical choice for Commander lists that want incremental growth and repeatable air superiority. The card reads like a primer on value generation: on entry you may behold a Dragon and make a Treasure token, then each time a Dragon enters your battlefield Sarkhan gains a +1/+1 counter and can become a Dragon with flying until end of turn. As a 2/2 legendary creature for {1}{R}{G} the body is modest, but the synergy with token producers and cascade effects is where Sarkhan does real work.
Play him in a shell built around Dragon triggers, Treasure conversion and reanimation. He rewards sequencing and board development; a single Dragon arrival can turn into counters, evasive damage, and mana acceleration. This Light Play Foil from Tarkir Dragonstorm is well suited for collectors and players who want a playable mythic that slots into tribal strategies and value engines alike. Add Sarkhan to your deck and put momentum on the battlefield.
