Hello all, and welcome to my The Kami War
deckbuild! A little about myself before I get into the build, I have been an on-off standard player since the Return to Ravnica block. Every now and then I jump back into the standard game and make a few decks before taking another break.
I have started collecting again from Midnight Hunt forward, and I own every card I have within the mainboard of my deck profile. That being said, I am willing to acquire more copies of cards that improve the play of the deck, this deck in particular is challenging because it is my first 5- color standard build. For now I have each of the dragons at x1 copy in order to truly get a feel for which cards I prefer in testing.
**I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS DECK YET, anything written below is purely descriptive of my intentions and without any prior experience in a game!**
The true goal of this deck is to obliterate the opponent with big dragons, and hopefully flip The Kami War
into the spicy O-Kagachi Made Manifest
. Another win condition I thought would be fun in the deck, Tiamat. As previously mentioned I may adjust ratios in the mainboard for the dragons, but if possible I would like to keep the 5 NEO dragons intact. I could see myself cutting Manaform Hellkite in order to add another Atsushi, the Blazing Sky or if my wallet permitted doing so another Goldspan Dragon.
For my mana fixing/ ramping I am using treasure tokens created through Prosperous Innkeeper, Shambling Ghast, Deadly Dispute, Goldspan Dragon. I am also running a single Reclusive Taxidermist for tapping for any color with a little 1/2 body that I am free to give up with Deadly Dispute as well.
Please leave me some suggestions below, I am currently looking into getting the cards I need to test the deck on MTG arena or another application so I can make some adjustments myself. MY BIGGEST advice I need is probably my land ratios and my mana ramping.
2024 EDIT
This deck was completed to a final version a long time ago during Midnight Hunt standard block. I took some suggestions and made changes to the original deck. It served me quite well during that standard rotation, lots of fun 5 color dragons and a 5 color enchantment spell that would cause many people to scoop, or lead to an exciting endgame. Cheers to all that helped, this was my first ever custom 5 color standard deck. I would like to turn this into a commander deck but I wanted to “store” my progress as I worked very hard on this deck way back when.
