New Dragon Friends —May 30, 2015
I decided to try something new and switched out all the Planar Chaos dragons for the Fate Reforged dragons. The deck plays very differently now.

She definitely does. If I can track down another copy, I might use her to replace card:Debtors' Knell.

I would also suggest the "star" dragons from kamigawa.

The #1 reason I'm not including any of them is that they don't work with the Commander's abilities, and I would rather all my dragons be able to synergize with him in some way. For example, this is also the reason I ended up removing Bogardan Hellkite in a previous update.

If I choose to use the "go to Command zone'' replacement effect for Scion, the "dies" ability of any Star Dragon he changes into won't trigger, because he didn't actually go to the graveyard. I'd much rather put him in the Command zone and play him again rather than let him go to the graveyard.

Good call. My buddy just got a box of RtR, maybe he'll open one I can trade from him.

He doesn't do anything when I make Scion of the Ur-Dragon shapeshift into him.

ah thats an ETB trigger. Still would be good as a dragon alongside Scion.

And considering I already have him, he'd be good for me.

I also have a Scion deck and mine has more graveyard to battlefield abilities so you can Scion into Teneb, Reanimate Teneb and then return all the creatures from the graveyard you use Scion on back to the field using Teneb which will use ETB effects better.

i will point out the scion, of the ur-dragon's ability will NOT trigger ETB's because scion is already in play when he becomes a copy.

Rhadamanthus says... #16
Yep, that's why I don't have any ETB dragons besides Bladewing the Risen and Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund (because they're just that great).

any reason not to consider Wheel of Sun and Moon Time Spiral Feldon's Cane Elixir of Immortality ?
ever consider Conspiracy + Blightsteel Colossus Purity Worldspine Wurm ?

The reason I don't use shuffle-in effects is because I'd rather use reanimation to get more uses out of the things I tutor into the graveyard.
I did think about the possibility of Conspiracy tricks when I was first building the deck, but then decided I didn't want to go in that direction.
Thanks for the comments though!

Ha! If you had come by a few weeks ago you would have seen her in here. I can't remember what I switched her out for but I should probably get her back in, for the tutoring at the very least. Thanks for the comment.

Have Cavern of Souls , Scapeshift , and Chromatic Lantern ever hit your radar?
ManikMedik says... #1
Not a dragon, but Sheoldred, Whispering One combos really well with Ur in my opinion.
