i'd actually recommend both red and green. both add solid sideboard options. fetchlands and Fatal Push are always good, and Ignoble Hierarch exists lol

I have, indeed, replaced Decanter of Endless Water and Thought Vessel with Bloom Tender and Ignoble Hierarch, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.87 to 3.84, as doing so provides this deck with additional creatures from whose deaths I can benefit.

Personally, I’m not the biggest fan of 5 color decks, mana bases are often times too tough to work properly, especially if you don’t have a ton of ways to get the lands you need right on time. However, my old Ur-Dragon was quite awesome when I specifically leaned heavily in one color and used the others just as supplements and fixers. I leaned heavy into red as it has the most dragons. Once I had that and all dual lands producing red with whatever other color, the deck worked surprisingly smooth, I was almost never color screwed in any fashion. So, maybe something to think about, of course, just an idea, up to you. Couple cards I can see ok are fixing mana dorks, things like Birds of Paradise, Noble Hierarch, Ignoble Hierarch, or lands that give combinations like Cascading Cataracts, stuff like that, in the current build may help a ton too.

Welcome to the club, pixelotilz!

First suggestion here is to add more low-mana ramp. Mana dorks like Ignoble Hierarch, Elves of Deep Shadow, and Birds of Paradise can give you more options in the early turns, and you can find ways to use them once your mana base gets more established.

Most of your high-cost cards have cost reduction based on power, which is good. There's a lot of 2-3 power utility creatures in the 3-5 mana slots here. That's not necessarily bad by itself, but some of them can probably be switched out for more creatures with 4+ power for better discounts. Depending on how risky you want to be (the mention of little life gain suggests this should be a lower-risk deck), some of my thoughts are: Abyssal Persecutor is a big beater that wants to be sacrificed, Hulking Raptor offers another mana option, and Rakdos, Lord of Riots gives you more access to your top-end creatures.

Hi there, and welcome to Tapped Out. Do you have a budget per card, or for the deck in general? In taking a quick look at your list a few things stood out to me:

• Although your deck has a Treasure focus, you do have a pretty hefty top end to your mana curve, and not as much 1-3 mana ramp for early game.

• I think editing down your spell slots at 5+ mana and swapping them for more early game ramp like: Ignoble Hierarch, Farseek, Fyndhorn Elves, and Nature's Lore could help smooth things out.

It's been a year or two since I took it apart, but I used to play Ognis, the Dragon's Lash, which has some strat overlaps with Ziatora. If you'd like, I an link you my old deck if you want to check it out.

Why the elves over a Hierarch? The exalted comes in handy quite often. At least in my experience.

Noble Hierarch or Ignoble Hierarch

SaberTech on Mana Rocks or Mana Dorks?

DemonDragonJ, Looking at your Mimeoplasm deck I don't think that the sacrifice theme is heavy enough to want to put a bunch of mana dorks in for potential fodder. That being said, Devoted Druid is pretty good in Mimeoplasm in general and could potentially replace Commander's Sphere.

Mana dorks could have more synergy in Kresh since it has far more sacrifice effects. Looking through your list, I don't think that it has an overabundance of draw power that would make the "unlimited hand size" effect worth running a 3cmc rock like Decanter of Endless Water. I could see that being swapped out for Ignoble Hierarch.

The sacrifice theme in Teneb also looks only mildly supported, so I don't think that you get real solid advantages out of running mana dorks on that basis. You do have some ability to throw around +1/+1 counters though, so a dork is a mana source that could be buffed for damage later. I think that Devoted Druid could replace Decanter of Endless Water in this one. You have a fair number of 4 and 5 drops that a turn 2 Devoted Druid could help you cast on turn 3, and the various counters and anthem effects would help you squeeze a bit more mana out of it.
