Dragonstorm requires it's own deck. You shouldn't run it.

However, a lot of red ramp could help. Especially rite of flame, which could turn one dragonspeaker if needed.

i know its just a cool card plus on the off chance i get it out it is nice maybe ill put 2 in instead of 4 and yea rite of flame would def help. I figured i might also splash green in? What do you think?

For the cost, it's honestly not worth running unless you specifically build the deck around it. I only ran it because I'm essentially cheating the manacost with Dream Halls

But i dont even have to really play it beacuse of Erratic Explosion
i do 9 damage for 3 mana. I think thats pretty effective

Ahh I didn't see that card in the list there. Yeah, you're right there that does synergize well with the storm.

@Sanity's_Eclipse
Nice guide so far, that was really what i was looking for!
just a few notes, whenever there was a card in your guide with a ' you instead used another sign, therefore some links arent working^^

Here's one I'm trying to build at the moment

I'm trying to make this deck to win a multiplayer match. There are so many options available to me that I'm having trouble deciding exactly what would work best in it. Here's what I have so far:

hey guys i fixed my deck up alittle what do u think?

This deck is strictly casual. That being said, 1-ofs are for diversity and fun. I'd probably only ever use this in free-for-all multiplayer, where I could use luck and table talk to survive. The only real way to win is to dump dragons into my graveyard with Spellbound Dragon, Scion and Wheel of Fate, then cheat them out with Living End or Ressurection. Diabolic Tutors are here to make the deck run more smoothly in a budget-friendly way. Any advice or feedback is appreciated.

nice but dragons go in the primer dragon deck

I think this deck would get eaten alive in multiplayer. From the look of things you're more likely to be discarding dragons due to having too many unplayable cards in your hand than by Spellbound or Wheel of Fate. The Wheel doesn't even go off until turn 6 at the earliest, and by then you might as well just be casting dragons rather than reanimating.

Sakura-Tribe Elder is literally the only card in the deck that impacts the board before turn 4. By the time you stick a Dragon you'll be at less than 10 life, and the threat of that newly cast dragon will just make opponents come in and finish you off.

The only real way to win is to dump dragons into my graveyard with Spellbound Dragon, Scion and Wheel of Fate, then cheat them out with Living End or Ressurection.

If you're dumping dragons with Spellbound Dragon and Scion, you should be winning anyway. It seems like the reanimation theme should be secondary to powering out Scion. Unless you're Reanimateing some unstoppable finisher before turn 4, reanimation as a deck type is generally weaker in multiplayer.



So the deck lacks an early game and has no defenses/lifegain. Oh yeah, and no removal. Here's what I'd do to fix those problems:

-2 Wheel of Fate (I only ever see this refilling your opponents' hands so they can kill you on turn 7)
-4 Ressurection (There are better reanimation spells. Also, CC in the cost hurts it.)
-1 Dragon Tyrant (I don't see you paying the upkeep ever, and drawing it seems like a death sentence. For you.)
-1 Treva (This'll gain what, five life? It sure won't benefit from your permanents)
-2 Spellbound Dragon (He probably won't help you reanimate anything, but he's fine in here if you like him.)
-2 Living End (Everyone will see it coming, and the people who have dudes on the board rather than in the graveyard will be sending them your way)

+2 Wrath Effects (A must for slow, slow decks like this)
+4 Wall of Omens (Early defense, replaces itself)
+1 Supply // Demand (Tutors for Scion, makes blockers, is awesome)
+X Other cards! (Mid-sized guys, mana fixing/acceleration, removal, dude protection, silly multicolored stuff, etc)


See Beyond might be worth considering, it's not a terrible card and can send back dragons from your hand for Scion's use.
Speaking of reusing, Junktroller may finally have a home. lol
The more I think about it, the more I love Junktroller. I'd try it if this were my deck.

My bad if I seem overly critical. I really do love the idea of the deck and some of the card choices you made. Vorosh and Teneb are particularly awesome with the Scion.

I think you should follow these guidelines

LANDS
04 Terramorphic Expanse
08 Forest
08 other lands to fit your mana need

SUPPORT
08 ramp spells: Search for Tomorrow and Rampant Growth
04 Sweeper: Pyroclasm
04 Generic Spot: anything you like from Lightning Bolt, Path to Exile to Doom Blade, or maybe counter, it's up to your meta.

CREATURES
04 Sakura-Tribe Elder
03 Scion of the Ur-Dragon
03 Teneb, the Harvester
14 other dragons

Scion + Teneb: the 2 out means put any dragon from your deck into play, a very powerful interaction
This deck solidly provides 5 mana T3

Yeah... I suggest you go the Animator route.... Scion can still play a good part in it.
Check out the primers....

I posted a deck earlier, but I made some changes. I guess this is the place to go if you need a Dragon Deck critiqued. Please tell me what you think?

Hack4freecbs's DeckMagic OnlineOCTGN2ApprenticeBuy These Cards
24 Land 10 Mountain 10 Forest 4 Terramorphic Expanse 18 Creatures 2 Elvish Piper 2 Hunted Dragon 2 Dragon Whelp 2 Rakdos Pit Dragon 3 Furnace Whelp 1 Akroma, Angel of Fury (bday Present) 2 Shivan Dragon 2 Quirion Elves 2 Vine Trellis	18 Spells 2 Evolution Charm 1 Sarkhan Vol 2 Coalition Relic 2 Harrow 2 Lightning Bolt 2 Braid of Fire 4 Rite of Flame 3 Pyroclasm

ummm...... a couple problems
1. why akroma? shes not a dragon???
2. hunted dragon..... why would you wanna give your opponent creatures?
3.a card you need Fledgling Dragon
4. you don't really need Planeswalkers in a dragon deck but if you want one its fine
5. also add a playset of Tinder Wall

Its just an Idea I am working on right now, Sort of just based on bringing out the dragons and swinging...
Its not so great at the moment, I would like it to be G/U/B/R Dragon Tribal type of thing. Mana base isn't there because I am having a tough time figure that bit out.

ANYWAYS, Any suggestions / comments / ideas are always welcome, common dragon synergy cards? anything helps, thanks in advance.

Form of the Dragon and Day of the Dragons are both pretty fun, but not in the same deck

I am thinking of trying Seething song / Sakura-Tribe Elder for some more mana ramp (taking out llanowar elves i think), maybe upwelling / Heartbeat of Spring...hmm

If you want a Dragon tribal deck using all 5 colors, here are some suggestions:

For ramp i suggest you to use: Sakura-Tribe Elder, Search for Tomorrow and Rampant Growth, all 3.

Dragonstorm is not really good on this kind of deck, where you face double color need and multiples dragons.

Scion of Ur-Dragon + Teneb, the Harvester is a very solid dragon base, since you can get any Dragon from your deck and put it into play.

A nice card you've added is Pyroclasm, really necessary into a not so fast deck.

Add removal/counter, it might be anything you like.

I'd make:



Other cards you might consider: Steely Resolve, Leyline of Lifeforce, Counters...

Take a look into the awsome Sanity's Eclipse Dragon Primer, it's stickied on Casual, very helpful and full of ideas when building a Dragon deck.

Alright so I replaced Birds and Llanowar Elves with Search for Tomorrow and Sakura-Tribe Elder.

I dropped Braids, and am considering dropping Bloodbraid (originally there to cascade into more land grabbers)

I dropped Dragonstorm + Coalition Relic.

I took out the Hellkite Overlord due to my budget and the fact that I don't really need him...o.O

Also, debating between Harrow and Rampant Growth (Growth being faster and doesn't cost a land....but if I have too many of one color I could grab 2 different ones with harrow..)

However, I am 4 Colors at the moment, is it worth it to add white just for Teneb + Scion?
I'm building it as we speak with white on Lackey so i can play test it and see if I enjoy it o.o

Sorry for so many questions o.o'', Thank you !

No problem, i'm glad if i can help.

Harrow x Rampant Growth: growth allows you 5 lands up on T3, while Harrow will allow you 5 lands on T3 and just 3 up.

RAMPANT GROWTH
T1 - land, Search for Tomorrow (1 land)
T2 - land, Rampant (2 lands + rampant land)
T3 - land, (3 lands + rampant land + Search land)

5 lands on T3, all up (Scion of Ur-Dragon, i'm looking at you)

HARROW
T1 - land, Search (1 land)
T2 - land, (2 lands)
T3 - land, harrow (3 land + 1 Search land + 2 Harrow lands -1 sac to Harrow)

5 lands on T3 (3 lands up and 2 tapped)

About the colors, a 5th color with so many mana fixing (Expanse + Growth + Search + Sakura) won't be a concern. Scion + Teneb is worthing, it's pure card/creature advantage, hold your draws while you cast your Dragons from the deck.

Oh ok, i see, Thank you!!

This forum is by far the best one for magic I've ever been to by the way. so very helpful.

Alright updated deck list!
(dropped Bloodbraid Elf and Sarkhan Vol due to budget issues)
(I rather miss the Haste and Dragon Tokens from Sarkhan....)



After testing it many times, the mana and mana ramp work very well! thank you for that.
However I have 6 slots open...

(I figured i might as well use a Vorosh spot for an Oros because either one is powerful and i can hunt them with the scion anyways, 2 Niv-mizzet and Teneb because I've always wanted to use them ever since I first saw them the day i started to play magic )

SO! I guess my new question is, Add more of those dragons? or something else for those 6 slots?

Thank you all very much yet again!
(Especially Halted Asylum , You're awesome!)

Hopefully someday I can reach the point where I can be nearly as helpful to someone else.

I suggest you 3 Scion and 3 Teneb, all other 14 Dragons you can choose freely, specialy those you have fun playing with. (In fact you can choose all the 20 dragons at your will, but i beliebe 3 Scion and Teneb will make your deck faster and stronger).

Thx man, my pleasure.

Sure you will reach it, in fact, everyone can contribute at some point, just share your thoughts and it might help someone specially looking for what you have to suggest.
