Sideboard


Lightning, flame, chaos, and rage. Mono-Red Dragon deck featuring classic burn spells, assisting/aggro creatures, and chaotic spells as well.

The Dragons: Archwing Dragon has great recursion effect to trigger certain other permanents. Dragon Tyrant is basically the guilty pleasure of the deck--it rarely comes into play, but super satisfying when it does. Drakuseth, Maw of Flames clears out several opposing creatures when it attacks. Kilnmouth Dragon is great for dealing with larger creatures with its activated ability. Lathliss, Dragon Queen & Nesting Dragon will generate plenty of extra dragons. Lastly, Thunderbreak Regent will put up a penalty to help defend your dragons.

The other creatures: Dragonspeaker Shaman & Zirilan of the Claw provide faster methods for getting dragons into play. Ball Lightning & Spark Elemental will do some fast and painful damage.

The lands: Basic mountains are the most important for maintaining game tempo, but there is room for flexibility. I've added 3 non-basic lands that seem to work well for the deck while oddly adding a Tolkien-like thematic upgrade- Dwarven Hold for delayed large mana output, Dwarven Mine for free expendable Dwarves, and Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle so that mountains do something extra when played.

Burn spells: Chain Lightning, Draconic Roar & Lightning Bolt.

Synergy Permanents: Dragon Tempest, Pyromancy, and the draw mechanic from Dragon's Hoard.

Mana accelerators: Mana Flare, Ruby Medallion, and the mana generating half of Dragon's Hoard.

Tutoring effects: Gamble & Wheel of Fortune.

Sideboard: Mostly contingency cards or more cards that match the deck's theme.
