Recently I've come across a rather neat dragon that I've come to love, and her name is Palladia-Mors. Known for being the most vicious of her brethren, and one of the first to side with Bolas in the Elder Dragon War, I've come up with a neat little "what if" scenario:

Currently, the Ruiner lies under the effects of a sleep-spell, placed upon her by Ad’Amra and Chromium back on Dominaria. However, what if she were somehow released once again? Would she try and free her brother from the Meditation Realm? Or would she try and rebuild his empire for herself?

So with Nico Bolas and Ugin currently out of the picture, and as the only other "living" Elder Dragon, I want to make a thematic deck that revolves around that possibility. That includes many other dragons as she builds up an army, as well as rare and powerful artifacts she can use to set her plans in motion. I have a lot of lore to dig through if I want to build this right, but I'm very eager to see this deck come to fruition. Suggestions are always welcome in the comments.
