You should consider replacing Mystic Melting with Slice in Twain.
You may also consider running Acidic Slime, it is a utility creature that can be tutored for with sylvan tutor or worldly tutor. Also Tooth and Nail is just house in any green deck.
I gave up on trying to keep this deck "casual" because where do you draw the line? Instead, I am just going to make a fun dragon themed deck that doesn't have any infinite combos and play it and have fun. Feel free to comment on/suggest cards.
I have some dragon upgrades:
- Rorix Bladewing + Dragonlord Atarka
- Siege Dragon + Deathbringer Regent
- Forgestoker Dragon + Thunderbreak Regent
- Destructor Dragon + Boltwing Marauder
As well as some non-dragon upgrades: (Getting rid of good stuff cards for more on theme)
- Sensei's Divining Top + Sarkhan's Triumph
- Rakdos Signet + Dragonlord's Servant
- Gruul Signet + Dragon Tempest
- Lightning Greaves + Dragon Whisperer
- Swiftfoot Boots + Descent of the Dragons
Way to go net decker! I guess I netdecked because I have been piloting a version of your deck, my signiture has a link if you want to look.
Which deck of yours is your newest?
Reality Shift is great. Rfg in blue? Gross.
Whah would you cut for GGT?
There's actually 7 creatures total(clones), 8 if you include the general. It may not have been optimal, but it was fine at the time.
- Green Sun's Zenith + Dragonspeaker Shaman (GSZ get only get a few dragons, Dragonspeaker will make it easier to cast dragons)
- Shockmaw Dragon + Hoard-Smelter Dragon (upgrade)
- Dragon Throne of Tarkir + Death by Dragons (Dragon themed for Dragons, seems good)
- Terminate + Breath of Darigaaz (Goodbye targeted hate, hello mass hate that is on theme)
- Golgari Signet + Search for Tomorrow (ramp for ramp)
I also replaced some lands that don't tap for colored mana.
- Wasteland + Forest
- Strip mine + Mountain
- Maze of Ith + Swamp
Still debating on keeping or ditching the OG duals in the deck
The lands were more of just because I had the duals and fetches that needed a home. I decided to curve the power level by moving towards more and more dragon themed cards, and less graveyard recursion. The duals may be a bit much, but I'm keeping them for now
I agree that Prossh, Skyraider of Kher would be more powerful by himself, because he's stupidly overpowered. I don't want people to have a "tuck or die" mentality when I play against them, it makes the game a lot less fun for everyone. I think that Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund is a better fit for the type of deck that I am building. He has haste and a commanding presence when he slams down and takes control of all dragons and gives them haste as well.
Thanks for the long list of suggestions! I really appreciate it.
I would agree that some of my dragon choices are a bit odd. I definitely need to refine them for sure, I was just trying to put as many as I could think would fit for now. Still toying with the number of dragons I should actually have.
Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker is a great suggestion, and I had it in mind for sure. I added it to my list of cards I will put in eventually. I am actually planning to have all 3 Sarkhans and Ugin in there eventually.
The signets are more of a loose example of "treasure" that the dragons collect. I too prefer to just get a land over putting out an artifact, maybe I will cut down to 2.
I had actually thought about Hoard-Smelter Dragon, but wasn't sure. I will definitely cut Shockmaw Dragon for him.
Breath of Darigaaz is a good on-theme removal, it has to go in.
Quicksilver Amulet is probably a no for not cheating them in, but GSZ probably needs to be cut too.
Kargan Dragonlord is another one I was thinking about. Ends up being 6 mana for a 4/4 flyer most times. The 8/8 Flying trampling firebreathing is super awesome, I just wish he didn't require 10 mana and have to level as a sorcery.
Ryusei, the Falling Star would be a good replacement for Siege Dragon. Kokusho, the Evening Star is probably too much considering.
Death by Dragons was definitely in the plan, I just can't find mine. I may have to go to the LGS and pick one up.
Thundermaw Hellkite and Kilnmouth Dragon are good ones to think about getting as well.
Dragonmaster Outcast is already in there, he's hiding in the hate section. I really have to reformat this list.
I didn't want to do Life from the Loam because I was moving away from graveyard theme.
I actually had Homeward Path in my Omnath deck for several years and never once had to use it... pretty sad, huh?
Thanks, I will look into the direct damage after I have finalized my dragon selection. I am still playing around with that, so we will see how many of those I end up with.
Diabolic Intent would be fit better if I wasn’t pulling away from such a heavy graveyard theme. Definitely a card to keep in mind if I head back that way. Thanks!
Yes! This is going to be a great addition to the deck. I actually already had this guy on a list of cards to get, but hadn’t posted it yet. I will add a section for the cards that I very much plan on adding. Thanks!
- Dismember + Farseek
- Fierce Empath + Golgari Signet
- Rise of the Dark Realms + Gruul Signet
- Victimize + Rakdos Signet
- Tempt with Discovery + Mountain
I also wanted to try adding more dragons.
- Expedition Map + Forgestoker Dragon
- Black Sun's Zenith + Scourge of Kher Ridges
- Noxious Dragon + Scourge of Valkas (upgrade!)
