Dragons of Tarkir Update —May 16, 2015

Dragons of Tarkir added quite a few cards to this deck. First, Haven of the Spirit Dragon gives my mana base a bit of a break. Sarkhan Unbroken was an automatic include. I've also added Dragonlord Silumgar, Dragonlord Dromoka, and Dragonlord Kolaghan. Stealing people's creatures/planeswalkers with Silumgar is just silly and very versatile in Commander. A lifelinking, flying Grand Abolisher like creature is nice as well. And Dragonlord Kolaghan gives my dragons haste when I pull them out of the graveyard with shenanigans. All in all, I think this deck was massively upgraded. I dropped Conspiracy and Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre because I wanted to make a more tribal take.

  • MoltenSkittles Poisonous OHKO ( Moltensteel Dragon + Scion of the Ur-Dragon + Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon ): The way this works is, by activating Scions ability twice after seeing no blockers, you're able to put his ability on the stack twice. For the first effect, you choose Skythirix. For the second one, you choose Moltensteel Dragon. Moltensteel dragon will resolve first, so you pump him with 12 life, giving him +6/+6, then you allow Skythirix to resolve, making the damage go through as 10 poison counters.

I got this combo from Cobthecobbler

Also Crux of Fate is a mass remove that wont affect your board

I also find that Sarkhan the Mad is pretty usefull in my deck

some good dragons are Nicol Bolas and Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury. Kolaghan can lead to lots of damage with dragons, as it stacks with itself, and Nicol Bolas forces your opponents to block it.

I like the idea of nicol bolas and Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon. Thanks guys, keep them coming!

Any idea for better ramp?

What would you say isn't working in the deck?

if your gunna have Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre you need Conspiracy... if your go that way then conciser some other very impressive fatties.

Well. I was gunna suggest a bunch of other stuff but I just don't have time... take a look at my scion build. I love it. you'll get some good ideas there.

but really quickly, as far as things that aren't as good in your deck I would say:

Vorosh, the Hunter and friends, having a cost of 3 on top of scion's cost of 2 is simply too much.

Crux of Fate is better than Earthquake

Disaster Radius is better than Blasphemous Act (but I am not sure if either one is that great.

Land Grant is kinda weak.

there are better spot reanimators than Zombify

Obelisk of Urd is kinda bad because you arn't ever going to have a lot of creatures to convoke. if you do then you've won the game anyways and +2/+2 is not going to help that much. same with Door of Destinies you are rarely going to "cast" a dragon so you will rarely put counters on it. besides how big do you really need your dragons to be?

I don't like planeswalkers in multiplayer because they have "enter the battlefield with a big fat target attached to them" and just die too fast.

there are some others but those are the biggest suggestions I have... if I suggest too much your deck will be the same as mine :)

take a look for some ideas

How to Train Ur-Dragon

good luck.

and +1 from me.

Zer0w, thank you for your suggestions. I do agree that Door of Destinies and Obelisk of Urd don't fit too much in this deck. I liked your idea of Conspiracy and put Twilight's Call in my deck. I am going to switch out Vorosh, the Hunter with either Hellkite Overlord or Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund. I like both so I'll prolly take out Siege Dragon.

Check out my build A Dragon by any other name for ideas. I like all the clone effects cause scion IS a dragon clone. You should add more mana rocks like Sol Ring,Thran Dynamo,Mana Vault,Grim Monolith if you can afford one also Mana Crypt is way too expensive but if you have one/access to/money to burn it's worth it Darksteel Ingot and don't underestimate Mind Stone also a Channel the Suns gets your scion out T4 or as early as T1 with the right rocks to back it up

So I just found out that the link to my deck takes you to some other outdated deck with the same name, I've changed my decks name to How to train yo-Ur-Dragon. as I mentioned before I've spent a lot of time on it and it is very good. It does run differently then yours but it may have some other good ideas for you, if you havent seen it take a quick look. I know I've got some good ideas from your deck and given you a + 1.
