Grind on Ur-Dragon

3 weeks ago

Cool deck! Any thoughts about Chromatic Orrery, Sneak Attack, Patriarch's Bidding, Eerie Ultimatum, or Chromatic Lantern?

Thank you for your great feedback! It's always appreciated. I did consider Eerie Ultimatum when it was previewed during Ikoria spoiler season. I eventually decided to leave it out of the 99 due to its tricky mana cost in a 5-color deck and, more persuasively, the fact that a suite of mass recursion spells already existed in the deck, like Living Death, Patriarch's Bidding and Rise of the Dark Realms. These spells, of course, return creatures to the battlefield, which Eerie Ultimatum does as well. However, with just 12 other non-land, non-creature permanents in the current 99 of this build, Eerie Ultimatum did not seem valuable enough to squeeze into the deck, and that is considering the potential mana ramp of recurring multiple fetch lands to the battlefield as well (no landfall triggers).

Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm's inclusion into this deck is inevitable. The moment a copy of her becomes available she will become a part of this deck and make it so much stronger. The same can be said for Ancient Copper Dragon, Ancient Silver Dragon and Ancient Gold Dragon. Moltensteel Dragon's presence in this deck is to combo with Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon or Dragon Tyrant for the purposes of one-shotting an opponent, usually a control player or blue mage at the table. Panharmonicon is an interesting card to consider. By my count, in the current 99 of this build, there are four Dragons (Bladewing the Risen, Lathliss, Dragon Queen, Scourge of Valkas, Terror of the Peaks), three enchantments (Garruk's Uprising, Dragon Tempest, Temur Ascendancy) and one artifact (Dragon's Hoard) that could benefit from the inclusion of Panharmonicon. That is a total of eight cards from the 99 (8.08%). That does not seem like a high enough percentage of cards to reconcile adding Panharmonicon to the deck. Yarok, the Desecrated would not approve.

Thank you for your comments and your recommendations! I appreciate them and am looking forward to upgrading this deck with several new cards from Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate!

Interesting deck! Have you considered Eerie Ultimatum as a payoff for dumping dragons into your graveyard? I think it's a must-have in any graveyard decks that have the manabase to support it.

Another consideration for you is the new dragon commander Miirym, Sentinel Wurm. Extra copies of all of your dragons seems strong, certainly over Moltensteel Dragon. On a related note, this deck seems like it would really benefit from a Panharmonicon.

All that said, some interesting cards here that I'll try and squeeze into my Miirym deck, for sure.

Seems like the deck runs an incredible amount of land for the lack of instant-speed interaction. You have a lot room on the table for optimization with cards like Worldly Tutor, Eladamri's Call, or even just a simple Counterspell. With being able to directly search for the creatures you want, when you want them, you can cut down to exactly your win cards and fill the remainder with direct support like Steely Resolve and Eerie Ultimatum. Otherwise, it definitely seems like the type of deck that stabilizes around turn 4 or 5 and builds into a flurry of creature-based attack triggers for the win.

Primeval's Glorious Rebirth is great but I think you'd have a better time using Eerie Ultimatum instead. It doesn't exile and it can hit every permanent in your yard without the added caveat of needing a Legendary to do it.

Alright I suppose these are what I'd choose to keep then- Teneb, the Harvester, Pull from Eternity, Harness Infinity, Planar Birth, Eerie Ultimatum, Sun Titan, Minion's Return, Unholy Indenture, Emeria Shepherd, Splendid Reclamation, Animate Dead, Eternal Witness, Timeless Witness, and Noxious Revival. This is if you want to lean fully into those cards that win the game.

Dread Return, Reanimate, and Reclaim are ones that I'd still try to find a spots for above the others.

o if were not stuck to theme i am going to recommend

1. cast Eerie Ultimatum
2. cast Naru Meha, Master Wizard
3. ETB copy target Eerie Ultimatum
4. sacrifice Naru and your dragons toAshnod's Altar
5. let copy of Eerie Ultimatum resolve
6. Naru and your dragons return to the battle field
7. goto step 3.

this will also work with
Dualcaster Mage(lower cmc)
any return all spell like Second Sunrise (lower cmc)
other sac outlets like Altar of Dementia (milling yourself to increase the board state)
that's enough redundancy to build 2x3 combo 6 card total which puts consistency about turn 10+ depending on your draw power
so definitely not over powered but very flavorful win con

Seasons Past would've been my suggestion, as well. Jodah seems a fine commander.

You could go for a BIG MANA SORCERY theme with some of the Ultimatums that don't exile themselves on resolution, Apex of Power and Double Vision. Maelstrom Nexus and Maelstrom Archangel would be pretty busted in there, as well. Eerie Ultimatum would be especiall especially nasty when combined with Fraying Omnipotence

Solve the Equation is indeed awesome for that, but Diabolic Tutor, Dark Petition, Mastermind's Acquisition and especially Final Parting are powerful tutors that don't cost much.
