Shieldhide Dragon

Creature — Dragon

Flying, lifelink

Megamorph (You may cast this card face down as a 2/2 creature for . Turn it face up at any time for its megamorph cost and put a +1/+1 counter on it.)

When Shieldhide Dragon is turned face up, put a +1/+1 counter on each other Dragon creature you control.

This isn't a damage story I dished out, per se, but the damage dealt unto me.

I had a buddy, Abe, who ran a 5c Morph Dragon deck. You know, like Shieldhide Dragon and Stormwing Dragon. Real nasty business. My other friend, Ian, was running some sort of Grixis Vampire tribal. Really big Vamps and really big Dragons in play.

And then there's me, the annoying prick that I am, running Karametra flicker with a lifegain element to it. I had all of the creatures that gain you life whenever they, or something else, ETB. Basically Soul Sisters on steroids. Then I had every conceivable flicker means in the deck, allowing me to crank out the numbers like I was an accountant hiding money.

I eventually got to something stupid like 181 life. Ian would swing full blast and knock me down by like 30, and then Abe would unleash his arsenal and bring me down another 40 or 50. I'd drop from the 180s down to like 100 or 90, and then my turn I'd be back up into the 210s.

They literally, full force, could not deal enough damage to stop me. I had plenty of means to win, too. With them fully attacking, I could chip them away with my army of 1/1s and 2/2s, but I was having far too much fun.

We did the math and realized, based on my land tutors thanks to Karametra, I'd actually deck myself out if I kept playing that way. So with a laugh and a sigh, I conceded.

Immediately afterwards Ian took one hit from Abe and realized he's dead next turn, so he too conceded. So Abe won.

Sometimes winning means losing, while having fun <3

So here's an idea. What about morph? Morph creatures are no creature type when they are in the morph state. Then turn it up any time for its morph cost and boom it's a dragon. Theres 7 cards that do this.

Imperial Hellkite

Quicksilver Dragon

Acid-Spewer Dragon

Herdchaser Dragon

Stormwing Dragon

Belltoll Dragon

Shieldhide Dragon

There is no "but she doesn't have" blah blah. That card is a staple, you have easy cuts that also "don't have tribal synergies" Belltoll Dragon is only playable in the Scion of the Ur-Dragon deck, Enduring Scalelord is not playable in this deck, Vampiric Dragon is unplayable inthis deck Shieldhide Dragon is unplayable. Dragons are strong enough on their own, this +1 +1 counter thing is way out of place.

Not meaning to sound like a dick but there are tons of unplayable cards, and if you don't accept that and cut them you're just going to get run over every game.

My best suggestions are:

Do a bit more research on the creatures that inherently have these abilities and run playsets of the ones that have better value for their cost in comparison to what they do. Running 4X Vampire Nighthawk and cutting Shieldhide Dragon and some other ones is a PERFECT example. Hopeful Eidolon > Trained Caracal, War Oracle > Champion of Arashin, Graveblade Marauder > Ukud Cobra, Ruthless Ripper > any other 1-drop deathtouch creatures, etc.

Work on synergies a bit more. If you want to run cards like Nightmare and only have 7 Swamp, you should include cards like Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth to get the most value out of it. If you run cards like Blood-Cursed Knight, you should have more than 3 enchantments (Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood = instant win). If you can't make room for them, cut him and put in another copy of Vampire Nighthawk. Even though Ajani's Pridemate doesn't have lifelink or deathtouch, he can still get out of control in a lifegain deck because of the interactions. Hell, you could even equip him with a Basilisk Collar and go to town. On the thought of equipment, cards like Pathway Arrows that have a creature deal indirect damage to another creature, are great to have on a deathtouch creature. You ping for 1 and no matter how big the creature hit for 1 is, it will die because of deathtouch.

Removal is important and killing your opponents is more important than trying to keep yourself alive. ex. Hero's Downfall > Healing Hands.

Develop a strong sideboard. cards like Serene Offering or Solemn Offering are better in the mainboard for this deck and Fate Forgotten is better in the sideboard to bring in against decks that use cards that have/grant indestructible.

Good luck!
