Your version of Daretti sound very "Blue". Not my play style at all. I want my opponents to play magic, if I didn't then I would play a control deck, not an artifact good-stuff deck . When I win with Daretti it is normally off pure card advantage and powerful creatures, not locking everyone down and making them conced. (that's at least what mass land destruction does in my meta). I respect your view on this commander, and thank you for sharing.
Hi, I'm trying to make my MonoG version competitive. I can't afford a playerset of Noble Hierarch , or do I think I ever will(edh takes most of my budget).
Nice build, it inspired me quite a bit. A few things though. Why not run Sylvan Library in place of Brainstorm. Im also confused on how the Kamigawa dragons are relevant with Scion, unless your playing a lot of reanimation. There 'die' ability never goes off with Scion. Maybe you can shed some light for me. Besides that, it looks pretty solid!
How is your early game look? Is it mainly just looking for a rock/mana ramp?
Thank you very much for you advise! You had very good points! I knew that I was running way to many creatures, I just needed a little bit of a push in the right direction in-order to make the change. I lowered my curve quite a bit, and added some utility. I still think there is a long way to go though. I want to make the deck competitive, but also stick to its roots of throwing around big dragon beaters. The only parts that i disagree with you are the Lands and my reanimation. I just see this deck being crazy if I use Scion a couple times to wipe out someone, then reanimate those dragons in order to take out the next person. I guess I just need to play test.
I did add a fair amount of removal, and some card draw. When it comes to card draw though, I don't want to draw a lot of cards most of the time, it will put me more at risk to fill my hand with to any dragons. Instead I want cards like Sylvan Library and Mirri's Guile to let me pick what i draw, more or less. Then I can just shuffle the dragons that are on top into my deck with fetchs or something.

Anyway, here are my changes for now, but there will likely to be more on the way. Please give me anymore insight that you might have, i really appreciate it.
Fate Reforged has motivated me to build the Scion deck that I have always wanted! It is about 75% completed, and I have not had the chance to play test it yet. I am looking for feedback on any possible way that I can improve the build.
My basic strategy is to play Scion ASAP then fill the graveyard with dragons (taking a few of my opponents out on the way) then use Regen cards to bring those dragons back from the grave an finish off whoever is left.
Thank you in advance for anyone that leaves me feedback!
I think i want to build a Superfriends version of this. It will still be pretty mean, but not pushing so hard for a turn 5-6 win. Ill post my list once it's done!
haha, ya, thats just show how much im a noob! I plugged them in one at a time, but that site just does it all for you! That is good to know... haha. I need to learn all these magic websites and what not haha
I've been enjoying him since the ban was lifted, he mini-combos with so much of our stuff. Vizkopa Guildmage plays really well with him.
Holy CRAP! That combo is NUTS! It is as if they were made for eachother or something haha. Plus both first amazing in the deck without eachother. Its pretty beautiful if you ask me haha. ( I still lack the gameplay time to realize the simple combos like that). I remember reading when he was unbanned, i was pretty happy to see it, but of course his price went up right after haha.
Awesome, man. Welcome to the Orzhov Syndicate!
Budget is fine, the Orzhov will see that you have everything you need and help you along the way, just sign here
That $66 list is a pretty good place to start...
Keep the lands simple at first to fully take advantage of Emeria, the Sky Ruin. Prioritize getting the sac lands - High Market and Phyrexian Tower when you can.
You might decide up front if you want to go with the Grave Pact package as it's a bit of an investment if done right. I'm kind of enjoying how my deck is running without that package for now.
When you get your initial build up and running, post the list here and we'll all have a look.
For now i am running just about the samethings as you got on your $66 budget deck. This is my first Commander deck, so i am still getting a feel for it. Once I get use to the game play i am going to make updates. High Market and Phyrexian Tower sound like good first steps! Also, I am dying to get my hands on a Kokusho, the Evening Star! Im pretty excited!
THIS MY DREAM DECK! I have been following this form for a long time (read all 55 pages), but decided to finally act on it and make this account (and the deck!). I am starting with the budget deck, then ill work my way up piece by piece... which might take a little while.. haha. Do have any suggestions on what changes i should make early on? I will be saving card by card tell it is complete haha.
Sweet, i love the list! I was looking for a good budget deck for my little bro, and this seems just right! I run a pretty crazy Ghost Council deck, but this might hold its own. At least long enough to have fun each game. Thanks for the list!
I am running typical MonoG land base of:
x4 Cathedral of War
x4 Inkmoth Nexus
x2 Pendelhaven
x12 Forest
My question is how should I change this up to make room for fetchlands/ Become Immense? Would 8 fetches be good?
Also I need some sideboard advice! Thank you!
