📖 How to build Atarka, World Render

Atarka, World Render is a seven-mana legendary Dragon with flying and trample. Her trigger gives double strike to any Dragon you control when it attacks, and since she is a Dragon, she gets double strike herself on each attack. The game plan is to ramp into her and then attack in the air, where her combination of flying, trample, and double strike can push a lot of damage through in a single combat step.

Build around her with ramp to reach seven mana quickly. Cultivate, Farseek, Rampant Growth, Nature's Lore, Three Visits, Kodama's Reach, Birds of Paradise, and Llanowar Elves all fit the Gruul colors. Blasphemous Act and Beast Within can clear blockers or threats, and Heroic Intervention can protect her. Chaos Warp is another option for handling problem permanents. Because her trigger rewards every Dragon you control, adding more Dragons to the deck will increase her value.

Atarka is expensive and depends on a single legendary creature, so removal or a blocker can shut down the plan. Her double strike only benefits Dragons that attack, so without other Dragons in play, her trigger mainly helps her. Her damage also relies on flying and trample getting through, so opposing creatures that can block her in the air are a real concern. Plan for the early game, since she arrives late.
