I'd probably cut Thoughtcast for Crucible of Fire. The deck's draw potential is already very high and Cast isn't that great from the mid-game onwards, when it will be vastly outperformed by most other draw-resources in here anyways.

NV_1980 Thanks a lot, glad you liked the deck enough to want to build it yourself! I think that's the first time someone's said that about one of my decks lol.

Roaming Throne would be a great addition now that I look at it. There's plenty of dragons in the deck with triggered abilities apart from Ganax himself. Already know what card I could cut for it, too: Rose Room Treasurer.

If I'm not mistaken, Roaming Throne would make Tiamat's Fanatics and other myriad guys trigger twice, right? So effectively putting 4 creatures on board per swing with 3 other opponents.

Steel Hellkite is cool, but tokens generally aren't a common strategy with the people I play with. I do like Crucible of Fire, but I'm not sure what I would cut for it.

This looks like an absolute blast of a deck; well done! I've not come across many Izzet-dragon decks thus far, unless they featured Niv in some way :) I will definitely build this from my own collection, with maybe some slight modifications. I'd maybe consider Crucible of Fire to increase the strength of the tokens you generate (and of course all your other dragons too). I'd probably consider Steel Hellkite too, because its wipe is so powerful, especially against opposing token decks. In most tribal decks I build, I include Roaming Throne; not sure if that would make sense for this deck though, so just a thought.

Dragons are big enough you don't need Crucible of Fire. I ran it for the longest time but trust me you don't need it. You also should run Cultivate, Farseek, Nature's Lore and Kodama's Reach. Birds of Paradise is good too. Ramp and a good mana base is the best thing for Dragons. Get your commander out turn 3-4 and you'll probably win the game.

Thank you for the great feedback Profet93; much appreciated! I think you're mixing up Mox Amber with Mox Opal; but that's ok :) On second glance, Amber also doesn't help me to summon Rivaz faster and that's what I would like to use it for, if possible. Therefore it's probably more useful to include Chrome Mox instead. I'll give this some more thought.

Chromatic Lantern is not necessarily in here to get Rivaz out faster; it's mostly in here for mana-fixing purposes and boy has it delivered on that front in the games I've played with this deck.

I agree with your comments on Crucible of Fire. It IS winmore in here, but I just really like the flavor it adds. It also allows me to win with just a few dragons on the board in metas involving lots of creature-removal, so for now I will keep it in the mainboard.

Imp's Mischief is great, but up to quite recently very expensive. Apparently that has changed :) I'll give it some thought. Thanks again.

Demons has Liliana's Contract

Zombies has Rooftop Storm and Necroduality

Dragons has Dragon Tempest and Crucible of Fire

And blue and black give you choices to pick a tribe

Do you have a commander you're trying to find these cards for?

Bloodsworn Steward works at least for the commander. Crucible of Fire works for dragons. Glass of the Guildpact exists. There are some more, but those are tribe specific.

Well. Looking at the deck, I'd be trying to find ways to reduce your average mana-cost and make sure your higher mana-cost cards have the impact you're looking for.

For example, comparing a card like Temur Ascendancy and Crucible of Fire. Your average dragon has 5 power. Temur Ascendancy allows your to hit with that dragon one turn earlier, while crucible makes it such that your dragon hits for 3 more damage when it does. In a damage comparison, say you play a 5 power dragon. Turn 1: 5 damage with Temur Ascendancy, 0 damage with Crucible of Fire

Turn 2: 10 damage with Temur Ascendancy, 8 damage with Crucible of Fire

Turn 3: 15 damage with Temur Ascendancy, 16 damage with Crucible of Fire

It takes 3 turns of unblocked damage for your dragon to be more effective with a Crucible, than it would have been with just a haste outlet like Temur Ascendancy. And that doesn't even take into account the Ascendancy card draw. And it's a mana cheaper.

So I'd get rid of cards like City on Fire (you don't want to use your dragons to make mana, you want to use them to attack), Crucible of Fire (your dragons are big, this is a good card if you have a bunch of dragons in play, but if you have a bunch of dragons in play, you also don't really need it to win), Fiery Emancipation (Same argument as city on fire), Omniscience (I know, FREE dragons, but ideally, you have enough mana not to worry. Omniscience is great for decks where you have a lot of card acceleration), Doubling Season (You don't actually have that many cards that make tokens, if you want that kinds of effect, Reflections of Littjara will serve you better).

You might consider Mind_Blower3's dragon cheapener suggestions. Another really good one for your deck would be Dragon's Hoard
