What should you cut from the Reign of Dragons precon?
Reign of Dragons is the Lathliss, Dragon Queen precon, released on October 2, 2026. We ran the stock deck through EDHTuner at bracket 2, the same check the tool runs on a deck you paste.
EDHTuner names two cuts, and each one rests on the deck's own counts. Here they are, in the tool's order, with the reason it gives for each.
| Card | Why EDHTuner would cut it |
|---|---|
| Chandra's Ignition | You have more mass disruption than you need. You're at 6, and 1 covers a deck built on its own creatures. One can go. |
| Chain Reaction | You have more mass disruption than you need. You're at 5 counting the cuts above, and 1 covers a deck built on its own creatures. One can go. |
Where a deck runs more of a job than EDHTuner aims for, EDHREC's play data helps pick which of those cards goes first.
The deck is short on card advantage. The tool suggests cards to add there. This page shows no adds.
How this deck works
Lathliss, Dragon Queen leads a Dragon tribal deck that also leans on impulse draw. Its main plan to win is to burn the table. Its 100 cards include 38 lands, 10 ramp, 11 card advantage and 11 targeted disruption.
What bracket is it?
By Wizards' bracket rules, the Reign of Dragons precon is bracket 1 or higher. It runs no Game Changers, mass land denial, extra-turn cards or two-card infinite combos.
The rules also ask how fast a deck wins and what it's built to do, and that part is for you and your table. The bracket checker page says how EDHTuner reads each rule.
How its counts compare
Each row counts the cards that do that job. The medians come from 18,414 public Commander decks on Moxfield, collected in July and November 2026. Moxfield puts 4,822 of them at brackets 1 and 2 and 6,057 at bracket 3. The deck numbers page says what each row counts. See how many lands Commander decks run, from the decks we counted.
| Reign of Dragons | EDHTuner aims for | Median, brackets 1-2 | Median, bracket 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lands | 38 | Playtested in the tool | 36 | 35 |
| Ramp | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
| Card advantage | 11 | 12 | 9 | 10 |
| Targeted disruption | 11 | 10 | 9 | 9 |
| Mass disruption | 6 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
| Protection | 1 | No set number | 2 | 3 |
Mass disruption: 1 covers a deck built on its own creatures.

Run it yourself
The tool opens in a new tab and runs the stock deck at bracket 2. There you also get the cards it would add and every cut it names, and it playtests each swap it suggests.
The Lathliss, Dragon Queen page shows what public Lathliss, Dragon Queen decks on Moxfield run. The guide to cutting cards shows how EDHTuner picks cuts. The precons page has every other precon EDHTuner checked.
Checked on November 9, 2026 with EDHTuner v0.248.0. The tool reads EDHREC's data each time it runs, and that data changes, so it can name different cuts than this page does. The precon's cards come from MTGJSON (MIT license). Card data comes from Scryfall and play data from EDHREC.
