Ugin

Ugin is a Boros (red-white) midrange/control deck in Standard built to survive the early game with efficient removal, then take over with dragons and powerful top-end threats.

• Game plan: Use cheap interaction like Lightning Helix, Abrade, Burst Lightning, Get Lost, Obliterating Bolt, and Requisition Raid to control the board and keep aggressive decks in check.
• Core threats: The deck pivots into large finishers such as Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant, Nova Hellkite, Dragonhawk, Fate’s Tempest, Sunspine Lynx, and especially Ugin, the Spirit Dragon as a late-game bomb.
• Key synergies: It has a light Dragon tribal/ramp-support package, with cards like Maelstrom of the Spirit Dragon helping cast its expensive dragon threats more reliably.
• How it wins: Clear the opponent’s board, stabilize, then close the game with big evasive dragons or an unanswered Ugin dominating the battlefield.
