I think that Icehide Troll might be a good replacement for Dragonsoul Knight. It's similarly costed, stats are slightly better, and can be buffed+protected for only (keeping on the snow theme B)

ZoomZoom Great feedback, thanks!

Dragonsoul Knight was kind of a pet card choice. It's a big mana investment, and it definitely eats removal all the time, but that one time in a hundred that it works, it really works. I'm not sure what to switch it out for, so if you have a suggestion for something more reliable, let me know.

The sideboard was for a specific meta in my group, and it's completely out of date. Moment's Peace went in mostly as Goblin deterrent, buying a couple of free turns in the midgame. Along the same lines, Innocent Blood was for a low-creature Bogles-style deck. Weather the Storm's better than Rest for the Weary, but that's what I had on hand at the time.

Lightning Bolt vs. Cast Down, I would have to tweak the mana base for, but definitely an option worth trying. I'm a little hesitant to cut 1-mana cards for 2-mana cards, but I'll see how it goes.

Thraben Charm and Cast into the Fire will find a home somewhere in here.

Nice to see another Snow Domain list :) the control aspects look neat, though I wonder if Cast Down would be better over Lightning Bolt.

I think that getting to hit with Dragonsoul Knight is awesome! Though it takes 5 mana to make it a 7/5, and it is really vulnerable to removal.

Some thoughts on the sideboard:

  • Was Hydroblast a deliberate decision vs mono-red? Otherwise I would think that Pyroblast might be a better choice since its the best counter to those pesky blue spells and permanents.
  • Innocent Blood is cool! Though it's not easy if you need to get rid of a particular creature when the opponent has 2+ creatures
  • I'm curious on your thoughts for Rest for the Weary vs Weather the Storm. Rest's floor is 4, and caps at 8, whereas Weather's floor is 6 (since you'll always cast it when at least one spell was cast before it) and its ceiling is storm.
  • Moment's Peace *list* is neat -- how often does it get you through to the mid-lat game?

The deck should probably run Thraben Charm -- it's graveyard hate with some versatility. Possibly also some exile-based artifact hate like Cast into the Fire (to hit the MH2 indestructible artifact lands).

Bogardan Dragonheart Atarka Monument Dragonsoul Knight Dromoka Monument Kolaghan Monument Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker Ojutai Monument Silumgar Monument Cave of the Frost Dragon. A lot of these aren't creatures, albeit there just aren't a lot of creatures and planeswalkers specifically that transform into or become dragons. Happy hunting, cheers!

So here's an idea. What about morph? Morph creatures are no creature type when they are in the morph state. Then turn it up any time for its morph cost and boom it's a dragon. Theres 7 cards that do this.

Imperial Hellkite

Quicksilver Dragon

Acid-Spewer Dragon

Herdchaser Dragon

Stormwing Dragon

Belltoll Dragon

Shieldhide Dragon

enpc on 5-color Pauper EDH deck help. …

In the past my wife and I have built both Paragon of the Amesha (enchantment voltron) and Dragonsoul Knight (infect voltron) as pauper EDH lists.

The benefit that both of them have compared to Worldheart Phoenix is that you can just dump a bunch of ramp into the list and you have a built in mana sink win condition in your commander.

Any I'm pretty sure that my wife's Dragonsoul Knight list was played against a bunch of casual EDH lists and stomped on them (basically the same situation you're in).

As for good cards - I got a lot of value out of kicker cards. They do something by themselves but you can also get more value late game. Citanul Woodreaders and Dismantling Blow are both decent sources of card draw. You also have Blink of an Eye and Into the Roil for pseudo removal/draw. Agonizing Demise is decent creature removal.
