Strategy
Drakuseth, Maw of Flames leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, pointing repeated damage at players. The list holds 13 ramp pieces, 10 pieces of targeted interaction, 3 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 4.50.
Early: The early turns belong to ramp. Geosurge and the other 13 ramp pieces exist to get Drakuseth, Maw of Flames out well before its printed cost of 7 would allow.
Mid: Once the commander is down, the deck wants to be doing two things at once: advancing its own board and answering everyone else's. Dragon Tempest is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Dragon Mage keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Blasphemous Act for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 3 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 4.50 average mana value the top end is genuinely expensive - land drops matter.
Win conditions: Wins by pointing damage at players until they run out of life.
