This is my favorite commander deck to play simply because it can pull out any dragon for almost any scenario. Plus, I love hitting people in the face really hard. On the downside, this deck usually is VERY commander reliant, so im finding more ways to play our dragons from hand in case Zirilan gets shut down.

:::Dragons choices:::

Balefire Dragon : board wipe to one player

Bogardan Hellkite : removal/extra damage

Changeling Berserker : tutor during other player's turn and protect zirlian from removal or board wipe

Dragon Mage : wheel

Dragon Tyrant : bigass damage

Hellkite Charger : extra combats (inf combats with Sword of Feast and Famine )

Hellkite Tyrant : steal artifacts (steal everything/win with Mycosynth Lattice )

Hoarding Dragon : grab artifacts (needs to die, and not get exiled to get the artifact)

Kilnmouth Dragon : huge dragon/removal

Knollspine Dragon : replenish hands

Moonveil Dragon : damage

Scourge of Kher Ridges : removal

Scourge of the Throne : extra combats

Scourge of Valkas : extra damage (really good if you can tutor for Utvara Hellkite same turn)

Spawn of Thraxes : removal/extra damage

Steel Hellkite : token removal/permanent removal/damage

Thunder Dragon : small creature wipe

Thundermaw Hellkite : make my dragons unblockable

Tyrant's Familiar : removal/extra damage

Utvara Hellkite : make dragons that don't leave :,)

Worldgorger Dragon : protection from one-shots, but can be used for combos (beware! dont let him get detained or stolen before he gets a chance to leave)

:::interesting synergies:::

tutor for dragon + Sundial of the Infinite = leave dragons on field

tutor for dragon + Chaos Warp , Erratic Portal , Tel-Jilad Stylus , Rishadan Pawnshop = recycle dragons

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker or Flameshadow Conjuring + Worldgorger Dragon = 1. Dragon comes into play. 2. have Kiki make a token. 3. token removes everything (including the dragon), Dragon's ability triggers. 4. token is removed. 5. everything (including the dragon) re-enters. 6. Repeat step 1-6. the entire time you can tap mana for inf mana, if haste enablers like Fervor are out, zirilan can tutor every dragon from deck.

cast Blasphemous Act , respond by tutoring for Worldgorger Dragon = kill everyones stuff but yours

Mycosynth Lattice + Hellkite Tyrant or Vandalblast = steal/blow up everything

Hellkite Charger + Sword of Feast and Famine = inf combats
