I still stand by using ur dragon. Fhat -1 to cost is a BIG deal.
I run three color dragon's using UR just like Gashnaw advocates. My manabase has 1 source of white and 1 source of blue to go with a lantern. The odds of ever casting UR are very low, but he helps accelerate the rest of deck.
plus you can run things like command tower, cavern of souls, reflecting pool, exotic orchard, basically all multi color lands that help regardless and provide access to blue and white.
But i bet when you do cast ur dragon it is a huge reward.
Of course ur dragon is great but i only cast him in maybe 2/3 games. My deck can win without, if i can pull it off i am sure a 3 color dragon tribal deck can as well. Plus 3 color is more focused, less stressed, my deck lacks counters.
Jund also gives you access to the Elders from Fate Reforged and Dragons of Tarkir. Dragonlord Kolaghan isn't that good in EDH, but Dragonlord Atarka and the FRF ones are.
I mean, Dragonlord Kolaghan isn't AMAZING but it's a perfectly reasonable card - "Rorix Bladewing with a baked in Fervor effect" ain't a bad place to be. Heck, 99% of what makes Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund great is being a hasty beat stick that grants everyone else haste, and Kolaghan does that same trick for one less mana AND doesn't only affect dragons.
It's a classic example of how players in general disregard a card that they can't get full mileage out of. I'm sure if WOTC printed a card for B that was an instant and said "Exile target creature. If it has the same name as a creature in its controllers graveyard, you gain 4 life", most EDH players would say to not bother with it since you'll NEVER gain any life off it.
Completely ignoring it is a path in black that does not give the opponent a land.
I run kologhan and he is good against graveplay decks.
Or still 5 color to get the cost reduction from ur dragon and only focus on three colors. I have won many games without casting ur dragon, so It is very possible. Run a couple lands that produce the other two colors as well as your basic three. Filter lands are good. Also checks and shocks.
Just run those. If you get mana cool, cast your general. Otherwise just use him for cost reduction.
