Commune with Spirits

Sorcery

Look at the top four cards of your library. You may reveal an enchantment or land card from among them and put it onto your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

Some thoughts:

  • most modern decks can’t justify running more than 3-4 cards costing 4 mana, and run nothing above this. Even if we assume you get a single Heartless Summoning out (i think your most likely scenario is just having 1 in play, between your opening hand and Commune with Spirits) that only means you’d be able to run a few 6-drops. I would suggest ditching all those cards 7 mana or higher, you’re already playing a risky gameplan (relying on a particular card being in play, that your opponent could very easily remove), you don’t need these extra super-high-mana cards slowing you down further.

  • Ditch the Cabal Coffers, its going to hurt you a lot more than help you here. You need 3 swamps in play just to “break even” on mana, so best case scenario is it only starts helping you when you have 5 lands in play (it plus 4 swamps, and its worth noting a lot of your lands aren’t swamps). I know you have Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth to help out here - but you have no reliable way to draw it.

  • you need more lands. 22 is pretty low, especially for what you’re trying to do here. Imo you need around 25-26 to firstly help you get to 4 mana asap, but also give you any chance of being able to cast stuff if you’re unable to get Heartless Summoning sticking on the board.

There are a few budget-friendly cards that I can recommend
Commune with Spirits and Kruphix's Insight -> for extra card draw
Control Magic, The Trickster-God's Heist and Corrupted Conscience-> steal the biggest threat on the battlefield
Evolutionary Leap -> kill the frog, draw an enchantress
Druid Class -> play extra lands to make use of all the cards this deck draws
Shigeki, Jukai Visionary -> repeatable ramp on an enchantment creature
Mirrormade -> super versatile card
Ancestral Mask -> can one-shot someone with unblockable commander

Season of Growth re: Is it usually drawing you 3+ cards? Does it feel dead in games where you draw it after enchanting Uril/people manage to remove Uril once/twice?

Kamigawa Best Selective cantrip:Commune with Spirits

~1 per turn Tempered in Solitude card from Kamigawa.

While I'm here I forgot to mention I also run Escape to the Wilds which is awesome for refilling hand, and not having to discard (+1 land drop), and am looking for a slot for Showdown of the Skalds

Hey, interesting start/WIP for five color Dragons in Standard.

You have too many cards, 63 is three cards too much consider cutting 2x Commune with Spirits and Bloodfell Caves to make 60 cards? You have too many creatures to play Commune since it can only reveal a land or enchantment not a creature. 27 lands is high, cutting some for ramp would help.

For Dragons in Standard Magda, Brazen Outlaw is great because she can create ramp for treasures or sac treasures to tutor for and put a Dragon of your choice onto the battlefield.

This is a core for ramp and to tutor for Dragons. Jaspera is the tap enabler for Magda that makes mana two ways by tapping Magda and creating a treasure. Innkeeper is the best two drop in Standard for ramp, play 4x if you're playing high CMC creatures. After Innkeeper makes it's treasure it can be tapped to make mana with Jaspera.

Showdown is powerful draw in Standard since it lets you potentially play any of the cards you exiled for two turns meaning you get a turn with all your lands and mana dorks untapped to play the exiled cards including a land from them. Ramping into Showdown turn three, four or five gives you potential to exile a Dragon, The Kami War  Flip or even another Showdown to then play those cards with your ramp on your next turn. There's no restriction of what cards you can exile on the top of your library with Showdown which is great.

Another good draw option is Unexpected Windfall which also creates treasures, but to play it you would want to add more red sources in the manabase because of it's double red mana cost.

These a good numbers for these cards.

If you choose to add Jaspera Sentinel and more Prosperous Innkeeper then you'll want more Forests because being able to cast Jaspera turn one can give you an advantage. Consistently casting Innkeeper turn two is also important which more Forests can help with. Another option rather than more Forests is add Pathways that can be green on one side: Cragcrown Pathway  Flip, Branchloft Pathway  Flip, Barkchannel Pathway  Flip. Cragcrown would be best because one side of it can be red to cast Magda, Brazen Outlaw if you don't need a green source.

If you go for the more treasure route and you have to play lands that always ETB tapped then I think Uncharted is the best option since it gives you a lot of choice in game of what color to choose that you need.

Dragon's Disciple would be better as ramp. Path to the World Tree would also be better as ramp since it only puts the land into your hand and rarely are you going to use your mana to activate it. Boseiju Reaches Skyward  Flip isn't worth four mana. The Dragon-Kami Reborn  Flip has powerful saga levels, but is really too slow to get any value from it since it has to flip, you have to have a creature among the two exiled cards and then you have to a Dragon die to be able to cast that creature. I think it's more of a sideboard card for very slow matchups.

Jaspera Sentinel with Magda, Brazen Outlaw is better than Shambling Ghast and Reclusive Taxidermist. Ghast could be a sideboard card for aggro matchups, but consistently in those matchups you would want to cast it turn one which requires a lot of Swamps. I don't think it's worth negatively affecting the other colors in the manabase for Ghast.

Good luck with your deck.
