Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"I have always had a soft spot for Dakkon Blackblade because I am left handed, but a commander that cares about lands outside of green is a bit unusual. My goal with this deck was to try and get lots of lands in our graveyard in addition to the ones we play, allowing us to cast Planar Birth for as much value as we can. There's several Walking Atlas combos to let us put out as many lands as we have in our hand as well, getting our landfall triggers to tap down our opponent's boards so Dakkon can swing in for lethal. There are also some options to give Dakkon some evasive abilities, like swampwalk and islandwalk, along with Urborg to enable that swampwalk on all of our opposition.\n"}]}
