I like the concept but 1 suggestion, you should use Jeskai Ascendancy maybe as a 1 of. If anything, it just pumps your dude and creates draw and untap Ojutai. Just a thought. I've seen it in Modern before.

Jeskai Ascendancy certainly does untap Dragonlord Ojutai. I've seen plenty of Standard decks doing just that. Maybe I could try it here too...

Not sure about the mainboard Keranos, God of Storms, but otherwise it looks great. You can feasibly play Blood Moon in the sideboard, as well as Stony Silence, Timely Reinforcements and Celestial Purge.

I'm playing Keranos, God of Storms in my list right now, and it has been great every time he sees play. He either gives me Lightning Bolt for free every turn, or just gives an extra card.

Getting him online actually isn't too hard either. Between him, Splinter Twin, and a Deceiver Exarch, I only need 2 copies to make him a creature. Against something like Soul Sisters, this can come in quite handy.

Blood Moon is definitely a possibility, but I don't like it too much outside of straight twin.

The other SB options, well, there are simply a ton of them out there and I'll iron it all out sometime else, but thanks a lot for all the suggestions!

I love the list and concept, maybe you could run some Silumgar's Scorn here. At worst its a Force Spike, and game 2 you can side it out when the opponent starts to learn to play around it.

With only 2 dragons to actually get Silumgar's Scorn active... I'm not much of a fan of it.

How do you plan on dealing with fast, uninteractive combos likes Grishoalbrand?

Counterspell Goryo's Vengeance? :3

Thinking of just building the Grixis version, with changing Path to Exile for Terminate, and Dragonlord Ojutai for Tasigur, the Golden Fang. I feel like it is just much better.

It may be a more viable deck, but it loses the innovation and coolness I suppose.

Yeah. I think I'll try this one at my LGS a couple more times first.

Kolaghan's Command is just so good in my meta though the switch is probably worth it just for that.

The only change I might make is trade out Dispel for Swan Song, but that's just my opinion.

Nice idea though, I like it. (Sorry this is two comments.)

Maybe Swan Song in the side instead of Dispel against things like Scapeshift and Living End, but in general I prefer Dispel in the MB.

I'll try that out, thanks for the suggestion.
