The Ur-Dragon is a mysterious cosmic entity that is the progenitor and primordial essence of all dragonkind in Magic: The Gathering. The dragon is an immensely powerful creature, its wings capable of stirring the cosmos, its claws capable of sundering ancient bonds, and its bellowing breath capable of stealing the essence of life itself. The dragon has existed since the dawn of time and through its eyes, it sees the deepest truths hidden in the depths of time. It’s roar, echoing throughout the blood of all dragonkind, summons hordes of dragons across the multiverse.[1]
History[]
Around 25,000 years in the past, the Ur-Dragon travelled to the plane of Dominaria, generating storms with a beat of its wings that would spawn the eggs of what would become the elder dragons of Dominaria before disappearing into the multiverse. According to a vision, the Ur-Dragon appeared as a massive shadow that is apparently blind.[2]
The Scion of the Ur-Dragon
The Primeval Dragons of Dominaria each bear a singular aspect of the Ur-Dragon. A dragon known as the Scion of the Ur Dragon also bears an aspect of the Ur-Dragon, the dragon believing it possesses the blood of its progenitor itself and therefore has the closest connection to the Ur-Dragon.[3][4]
Card History[]
The Ur-Dragon card made its debut in the Commander 2017 preconstructed deck Draconic Domination as the commander, the card being reprinted in Secret Lair: Kaleidoscope Killers with alternative art (see below) and later in Commander Masters. It has remained a popular commander in the commander format with over 28,000 decks on the EDHREC website.[5]
