Where it came from
The Ur-Dragon was released in 2017 as the face commander for the Draconic Domination deck within the Commander 2017 expansion. This set was notable for being the first to introduce tribal-themed decks to the Commander format, focusing on iconic creature types such as dragons, cats, wizards, and vampires to celebrate the game's long history.
The card was illustrated by Jaime Jones, who sought to capture the primordial and multiversal scale of the character, depicting the entity as a colossal, awe-inspiring progenitor of all dragonkind. Upon its release, it was warmly received by the Magic: The Gathering community for its powerful 'eminence' ability, which provides a thematic and mechanical advantage that rewards players for committing fully to a dragon-focused deck strategy.
