How Dragonlord Ojutai decks play in EDH

Dragonlord Ojutai is a Azorius commander in white and blue costing 3WU, and its legendary creature - elder dragon line shapes the whole deck around it. The payoff is combat damage, so evasion and extra-combat effects matter more than raw power. Built-in evasion means damage gets through reliably, so effects that scale that damage are worth more than extra bodies.
