Mono-Red Dragon Tribal

Burn and beatdown from above! I'm trying to keep the deck as fun, flavorful, and competitively viable as possible while still being a battlecruiser timmy deck.

The deck is not very politically oriented as once the dragons start coming, it becomes a huge threat and players may start forming an alliance against you. It's raw power is it's curse as well as it's gift. Intimidation is your only real political tool which can backfire. That said, opponents need to be eliminated as fast as possible before they can band and overthrow you.

First I'll cover the combos in the deck then go over some of the cards in groups as to how they benefit the deck as a whole but first, a note on the commander.

Ryusei, the Falling Star is an amazing commander in this deck and fits the dragon theme nicely as a dragon/spirit with evasion. He has some interesting and surprising interactions with the deck besides just tribal synergy as well. I to replace him as my commander. Plus, he adds to the versatility and originality of my build.

Combo's & Synergies

C-c-c-c-c-c-Combo Breaker

Descent of the Dragons + Insurrection is incredible for wiping the field and providing me an army of tokens.

Flameshadow Conjuring + Ryusei, the Falling Star + Vicious Shadows A nice ryusei-ble combo... I'm sorry. it's a good combo and a bad pun.

Dragon Tempest + Hellkite Charger + Utvara Hellkite allows for plenty of ETB damage and allows your tokens to swing during the extra combat phase. Use Flameshadow Conjuring for more chaos.

Flameshadow Conjuring + Homura, Human Ascendant for one more , you get a Shiv's Embrace for all your creatures immediately, and, a 6/6 flyer with haste, and firebreathing. totally bomb.

Descent of the Dragons + Dragon Tempest , Scourge of Valkas, Where Ancients Tread, and Warstorm Surge provides nice ETB burn for removal or picking off opponents and grants the ability to swing with hasty 4/4's in the air.

Flameshadow Conjuring + Utvara Hellkite creates a shitstorm of dragons the turn Utvara enters. At worst, you're getting three permanent 6/6 dragons with flying for

Flameshadow Conjuring + Knollspine Dragon + Warstorm Surge A great way to get some card advantage out of burn.

Homura, Human Ascendant + Pyromancer's Goggles + Subterranean Tremors nets you two 10/10 "dragons" and wipes the field of most flightless creatures and artifacts. you will lose the goggles along with everything else but it's usually worth it and that's what Buried Ruin's for!

Dragon Tempest + Scourge of Valkas is an excellent combo for racking up damage in smaller increments. the two become insane with Utvara Hellkite in the mix.

Flameshadow Conjuring + Repercussion + Ryusei, the Falling Star burn all the things without wings! Tokens be damned!

Dragonmaster Outcast, Skyline Despot, and Utvara Hellkite are great token generators late game and have synergy with Warstorm Surge, Where Ancients Tread, Scourge of Valkas, and Dragon Tempest.

Dragons, Magic, and Treasure, Oh My!

Fly, you Fools!

Artifacts

Sol Ring, Thought Vessel, Ruby Medallion, Dragon's Hoard And Quicksilver Amulet help make the deck much more cost efficient and playable Along with the mana doubling artifacts and enchantments. Chromatic Lantern provides every land with the ability to tap for and lastly, Darksteel Ingot is the indestructible mana rock. Sculpting Steel being able to double as any of the artifacts or any an opponent may control is extra handy and super versatile. Pyromancer's Goggles although expensive, doubles your spells effectiveness and is a mana rock. Armillary Sphere and Journeyer's Kite are necessary for the high CMC of the deck. Gauntlet of Might, Gauntlet of Power, and Caged Sun provide extra power making my creatures that much deadlier, and provide extra mana to ensure that expensive combo.

Enchantments

Mana Flare is a beneficial to the every player which helps make matches more fun/insane and the acceleration is necessary for the high CMC of dragons. Sunbird's Invocation is insanely powerful with the amount of advantage it can generate if left unchecked! Homura's Essence, and Crucible of Fire are anthems that affect ETB triggers and the overall damage output of your creatures. Rage Reflection, the enchantment so nice it makes you strike twice! Vicious Shadows is to dissuade any field wipes as well as removal in general since it triggers when ANY creature dies

Dragon Tempest and In the Web of War allow my dragons to come in with haste which is a major advantage, as most of the dragons become prime targets for removal once they enter the field.

Warstorm Surge is an incredible source of damage and removal for this deck and will lay the hurt on your opposition. Where Ancients Tread works in the same manner as warstorm but is limited in what triggers it and, only does 5 damage each trigger but, is an excellent source of damage all the same. Flameshadow Conjuring will allow for twice as many ETB, LTB, and die triggers as well as net you a copy of the creature you played for just . It is a valuable asset and will make for fun and epic interactions with the deck as well as with the game. Outpost Siege is used for Khans mode card advantage!

Card Draw

Wheel of Fortune, and Reforge the Soul are red staples for digging seven cards down, as well as providing hand destruction, taking out an opponents potential combo in hand. Dragon Mage, Magus of the Wheel, and Knollspine Dragon are wheel type similar only it's a ETB trigger and draws cards equal to the damage dealt when it enters that turn and only nets YOU cards.

Boardwipes

Insurrection is in case you are up against some beast that overpower your dragons, if you're against a swarm that's threatening the board or a combination of both. either way, it doesn't target and will usually take out a player when it's cast. Mob Rule is an alternative to it that is great at nabbing smaller token swarms or all the fatties on the board. It usually takes out a player as well. Magmaquake hits all Planeswalkers and creatures without flying while Subterranean Tremors hits all creatures without flying (so not your dragons) and can even wipe the board of artifacts and drop an 8/8 red fatty with enough mana. Descent of the Dragons can be utilized as a mass removal spell, a combo burn spell or a political piece. Vandalblast and Shattering Spree are pure artifact hate. Being that this deck is slow, destroying any acceleration your opponents may have helps even the odds, plus any other nefarious contraptions as well.

Dragons

Hellkite Tyrant is an alternate wincon of sorts but is mostly for stealing any artifacts that may help my opponents as well as potentially using them for my own advantage such as Darksteel Ingot and Sol Ring, plus he completely destroys artifact decks. Hoard-Smelter Dragon is artifact removal on a stick and is a great backup if the tyrant is taken out.

Hellkite Charger and Scourge of the Throne are brutal combatants that can turn a couple dragons into a load of damage in a flash. neither is to be taken lightly and are huge threats

Balefire Dragon is for clearing out a players field, Steel Hellkite is for destroying tokens with no remorse as well as enchantment removal, and Scourge of Kher Ridges can wipe the ground and (if need be) the air. Crucible of Fire allows every dragon to survive the second ability.

Thunderbreak Regent dissuades from targeted removal providing each dragon with a bolt trigger upon being targeted by a spell or ability an opponent controls

Skyline Despot is a token producer that increases the damage potential and threat level with each passing turn that it's left unchecked

Hoarding Dragon is an artifact tutor on a stick that is fairly easy to get killed to trigger. Sarkhan's Triumph is a dragon tutor that will find the dragon to serve the situation

Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker functions primarily as a 4/4 beater and his ultimate, which isn't too difficult to reach, is a huge advantage if it is ever set off. Avaricious Dragon works's similarly, giving you card advantage with a nice body to boot.

Lands

Ancient Tomb is very necessary for the high CMC of the spells in this deck. Sandstone Needle is used for the same reason. Mirrorpool is used as a way to generate a Ryusei token (Or any other dragon for that matter) for a quick wipe or doubling down on a spell. Haven of the Spirit Dragon is excellent for recovering any of your scaled beast from the graveyard. Cavern of Souls is for dragons that can't be countered. Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx can be used to provide a large amount of mana and is great with Flameblast Dragon, and any spells.

Any suggestions/tips and +1's are greatly appreciated from our scale covered overlords
