{"ops":[{"insert":"There are plenty of better commanders nowadays if wants to build a dragon deck, but I like Zirilan a lot. Mirage was the first Magic set I ever bought cards from so any card from that set has a special place in my heart. Nowhere near any of the top dragon commanders, but he can still hang and I like the purity of mono red for a dragon deck.\n"}]}
