Assuming you're speaking of the deck legendofa has linked above, definitely leave out Form of the Dragon. It's an easy way to lose a game. Intentionally dropping to 5 life without a chance of going above that amount is a bad idea. It's a shame regarding the flavour, but it won't do you any good.

I was wondering if anyone thinks Form of the Dragon would be a good addition to my mono-red dragon deck, or is it too risky of a card?

I'm happier than I should be to see Circle of the Land Druid be a Gnome Druid. Favorite race, favorite class. Of course, my current D&D character is a tiefling barbarian, so I should consider something with Karlach, Fury of Avernus and... Haunted One, I guess. Just an ordinary person until bad stuff started happening to and around him. (He's a dark and edgy character for a grimdark setting. Very FromSoftware-inspired.)

I feel like Wrathful Red Dragon shouldn't be able to target a player with Form of the Dragon, based on flavor alone.

It seems you are clearly going for a competitive deck in here, so why not some Force of Wills?

also Faithful Mending seems nice. Gifts Ungiven could tutor specific cards for the graveyard and, along with Noxious Revival could make it so you find combo pieces on the opponent's end step.

Magus of the Bazaar is Bazaar themed and has a cool ability. (although i'm not a fan of 'bazaar' effects outside of dredge, but it seems to bear some significance to you).

Sandwurm Convergence is nice. if you tutor Form of the Dragon (maybe with gifts), you can lock the opponent out of combat.

and As Foretold would let you cast Resurgent Belief for free. Same as with Sram's Expertise and Baral's Expertise (but this one is high on the curve).

I think maybe you could have Prismatic Vista to tutor for Snow-Covered Plains for On Thin Ice

and a Karakas wouldn't hurt.

with some tutors you could even play around with Ghostly Prison and Blood Moon if you wanted to...

I really like the deck idea and it's nice to see people innovating in Legacy :)

Hi m8,

Please help me out, I am trying to figure out the worth of cards like Grid Monitor and Steel Golem. The only situation in which I can see them work really well are in 1-on-1 games or games in which you're trying to disable a (or multiple) creature-heavy deck(s), and all other opponents want the same thing. If this is not the case, whomever you give these critters to will just use em to attack someone (and hopefully for them, get these things killed off). What am I not seeing here?

As for useful additions, Oath of Lim-Dul seems an excellent addition (especially against players who cannot generate black mana). Form of the Dragon also seems like fun, though its expensive to cast.

Kind regards,

Lynaedros, God of Defeat

Legendary Enchantment Creature - Demon God

Indestructible

As long as your devotion to blue, black, and red is less than seven, Lynaedros is not a creature.

Creatures you don't control get -2/-1 and attack each turn if able.

At the beginning of each opponent's end phase, that player discards a card.

5/3

Create a "Form of the" card. Form of the Dragon, Form of the Dinosaur, Form of the Squirrel

SynergyBuild on Solemnity replacement

I personally enjoy the follow, lesser known combos:

Living Plane or/and Humility + Night of Souls' Betrayal or if you are okay with an enchantment creature, Doomwake Giant

Solemnity + Decree of Silence is another solemnity equivalent to Phyrexian Unlife/Nine Lives

While it does involve a creature, it is an entirely enchantment-based: Second Chance + Shimmerwing Chimera/Riptide Chimera

While it's a three card combo for infinite (Paradox Haze being needed), doubling your turns is strong too, Starfield of Nyx+Second Chance works well.

Also if you need an enchantment way to get to that life total for the Second Chance combos, Necropotence is great, Greed is fine, and Form of the Dragon

Hermetic Study and equivalent variants on it have a ton of enchantment combos, but they mostly require some creature, to use Curiosity, Keen Sense, Ophidian Eye, Snake Umbra, and my favorite combes as Sigil of Sleep or Charisma, and you can use Pemmin's Aura/Freed from the Real.

Staples like Squirrel Nest/Bitterblossom variants with Contamination are easy to slap together as long as you don't mind the downside!

SpammyV on Win Con for Gruul Enchantress?

On-topic for what you're planning, you can use Ancestral Mask and Nylea's Colossus to get something really big before you rumble in. There's also passive damage you can stack up with Overabundance , Mana Barbs, Sulfuric Vortex , Court of Ire , et cetera to whittle people down. Sandwurm Convergence makes a lot of beef. It's mana intensive but Pyrohemia and Rite of Passage means you can have a thing that lives while you keep pinging everything. There's also the aforementioned Helix Pinnacle if you're looking at having a lot of mana.

Of course, if you think some thing demand a more personal touch, you could slam a Form of the Dragon and off someone yourself.
