Commander deckBU
Silumgar, the Drifting Death
The deck focuses on playing hexproof Dragons and controlling the board with -1/-1 effects through Silumgar's trigger while maintaining a strong budget theme.
Asked for“Gimme a sick commander under one of the two color dragon lords from the khans block. Keep it fairly dragon themed and use mostly khans block cards”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
