DemonDragonJ on Savage Destruction

I have replaced Madrush Cyclops and Hellkite Overlord with Broodmate Tyrant and Gluttonous Hellkite, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.97 to 3.94, which is very nice, because, as great as the previous creatures were, they did not contribute strongly to the main theme of this deck, whereas the new creatures do.

Thanks for the advise everyone! Out of all of the Firebreathing cards recommended, I would say Hellkite Overlord and Hellkite Igniter are my two favorites to add. I had considered adding them in the original 99 but opted against it in fear that they might sit around in my hand, however I really liked them for the flavor/fun factor. After I play at my LGS tomorrow I will probably add these in by cutting a treason card or sacrifice card. I prefer these Firebreathing dragons over the other Firebreathing suggestions because they have haste as well.

I don't know how Crashing Drawbridge didn't make it on my list, it was on my clipboard but got lost in the shuffle. Thanks for the reminder :)

Yeah, you need firebreathing in this as a ready source of manadumps.

Creatures: - Flamekin Brawler - Dragon Egg - Dragon Hatchling - Chartooth Cougar - Everflame Eidolon - Immolating Souleater - Hellkite Overlord - Goblin Fire Fiend - Furnace Whelp - Molten Ravager - Tattermunge Witch

Enchantments: - Firebreathing - Captive Flame - Ghitu Firebreathing - Shiv's Embrace - Dragonrage (Instant, gives all creatures firebreathing)

I'm going to go with, as always, Alara. TypicalTimmy already mentioned Godsire and Maelstrom Archangel, and I'm going to add Prince of Thralls, Hellkite Overlord, Blood Tyrant, and Magister Sphinx.

(For the curious, Empyrial Archangel and Sphinx Sovereign are the other two cards in the {4}MNNO cycle. Either of them would work as well, I just don't find them quite as interesting.)

I think you should add: Moonveil Dragon, Arcane Signet, Nature's Lore, Three Visits, Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares, Lathliss, Dragon Queen, Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient, Dragonlord Dromoka, Scion of Draco, Terror of the Peaks, Scourge of the Throne, Hellkite Overlord, and Return of the Wildspeaker.

I think you should cut: Crosis, the Purger, Hoard-Smelter Dragon, Teneb, the Harvester, Darksteel Ingot, Gem of Becoming, Merciless Eviction, and Rampant Growth.

pozzel on Rakdos For Fundos

wallisface, I originally had thought about putting 24 Lands onto it, which I modified right before Deckcycling, I might have to reconsider it or go with some of my red-green deck cards, which does have mana ramp. I might just lower the cost over-all of the cards and keep the 4x Demanding Dragon, take off 4x Dragonlord's Servant, and replace Hellkite Overlord and Charnelhoard Wurm for some other less costy creatures, since the whole point of this deck is to play around Extirpate and Dash Hopes mostly, and I'll probably add Terminate too.

Some thoughts:

• 20 lands looks super low, especially with how many high-cost cards you're playing. It means even getting the 3 lands needed to cast New Horizons will be a struggle. It also means the static ability of Mina and Denn, Wildborn will virtually never come into effect. I think if you are wanting a hope-in-hell of playing anything cmc4 or above, you need waaay more lands. Seeing you've got 5-drops (and above) I would have thought 24 lands as an absolute minimum.

• Even with a 24-land-count, your highest costing cards, in Hellkite Overlord and Charnelhoard Wurm simply won't be castable without any form of dedicated ramp. I'm not sure they should be getting run in a deck without lots of ways to accelerate mana quickly.
