Step 1: Play Talrand.

Step 2: Unleash the drake hoard.

Step 3: Swarm the opponent.

This deck functions as a control deck, play Talrand, defend Talrand via counterspells and hopefully get to untap with him on board. Then control your opponents threats with a variety of bounce and counter spells.

This is a deck that is very dependant on it's commander, without Talrand you have no win condition.

Looking for suggestions/feedback to make this deck better.

Any and all suggestions welcome.
