Been having a blast playing this deck. might i suggest Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner over Sarkhan? I've been having more success with her

The biggest threat to your deck is Solemnity. I'd recommend some counterspells including, but not limited to, Decisive Denial, Quandrix Command and Voidslime.

If you can't prevent Solemnity from entering the battlefield, Fecundity and Soul Net will turn your 0/0 Fractals into a boon until cards such as Fade into Antiquity and Naturalize can be used. Your commander's static ability will also feed into it.

You may also wish to consider cards that affect or are affected by +1/+1 counters. These include, but not limited to, The Ozolith, Swarm Shambler, Bramblewood Paragon, Herald of Secret Streams, Vigean Graftmage, Experiment Kraj and Plaxcaster Frogling.

Scavenging Ooze can give your deck some much needed graveyard hate.

Have you considered Simic Ascendancy with all these cards creating creatures with +1/+1 counters on them? You can move growth counters from Simic Ascendancy to Paradox Zone by means of Nesting Grounds.

Other lands to consider for the deck are Cave of Temptation, Forge of Heroes, Littjara Mirrorlake, Llanowar Reborn, Novijen, Heart of Progress, Opal Palace, Oran-Rief, the Vastwood, Temple of Mystery and Tyrite Sanctum.

Other cards to consider for your deck are Altered Ego, Bioshift, Clone Legion, Hardened Scales, Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter, Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner, MirrorBox, Repudiate / Replicate and Slippery Bogbonder.

I hope this helps. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

Hey, well done so far for a first deck with a $500+ budget.

34 lands and only 9 reliable ramp sources is low for Dragons. The land count is fine, but only if you add more low mana cost ramp. Add more lands or add more ramp? Tempt with Discovery relies on opponents to be ramp and Thaumatic Compass  Flip relies on you controlling seven or more lands to be ramp. These aren't reliable as ramp and they cost too much mana for what you get.

In simplest terms there's two areas you want most with Miirym, ramp and Dragons. Ramp to first cast 6 mana Miirym and Dragons to cast after Miirym. Of course you want other areas too, but most important are these two. Consider expanding on ramp?

Nature's Lore, Farseek are more good two drop land ramp like Three Visits. Cursed Mirror is excellent with blink, if you blink the copied creature then that blinks Mirror which can then ETB as a copy of some other creature including an opponent's creature. You can also choose to have it just ETB as a mana rock which is needed for a combo.

Jade Orb of Dragonkind gives protection from targeted removal until your next turn for the Dragon you cast with it. This effect is helpful since paying a lot of mana to cast a Dragon to then have it killed is feels bad. Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner untap ability is versatile, any permanent you control, it's also repeatable draw when a Dragon ETB including a token.


There's 100+ of different Dragons you could play with a $500+ budget and having Old Gnawbone as a price point? Consider upgrading some Dragons?

These Dragons can be parts of wincon combos and they're made much better thanks to Miiryn copying them. All these Dragons don't break the bank and adding them can really increase the power level of your deck.

What's nice about these combos are they all use a Dragon. All the cards are good by themselves, but with the Dragon and/or Miirym they're much better. Tandem Lookout can be repeatable draw that can change creature it's bonded too. Bond to any creature you control before Miirym, then bond to Miirym and when you're ready bond to Niv-Mizzet. Bond to any Dragon who can do repeatable noncombat damage to opponents such as Scourge of Valkas for lots of draw.

Getting more value: ramp, draw or removal from Dragons can help gameplay. Steel Hellkite + Old Gnawbone/Savage Ventmaw mana can wreck especially when you have multiple Hellkites.

If you're interested I offer more advice in another comment. Would you like more advice?

Good luck with your deck.

Yes lol

World tree costs 10 colored mana to activate. the combo is we ramp out into Timeless Lotus or Jegantha, the Wellspring. we tap for 5 WUBRG mana then use one of our untappers (Kiora's Follower or Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner) to tap again for a total of 10 WUBRG mana. Activating The World Tree is almost always an instant win unless you get very unlucky and have too many gods in your hand.

The Purphoros, God of the Forge's will then enter the battlefield as creatures and before they legend rule themselves to death, they send a maximum of 28 triggers of 2 damage each to the dome. (thats 56 damage for my fellow smooth brains out there)

multimedia if I put Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner in the deck I could put Sarkhan the Masterless back in as well as I can use his ability to transform Kiora into a dragon

Hellkite Charger could replace Skanos Dragonheart? Both these Dragons want to attack to trigger abilities, but Skanos needs other Dragons to make it good, Charger doesn't. Skanos can't pump itself and doesn't have evasion, Charger can be part of a combo Skanos can't. Thrakkus the Butcher is a better five drop Dragon with trample who pumps itself as well as all other Dragons you control.

There's another combo you could add that creates infinite Dragons with Astral Dragon and the enabler Cursed Mirror provides a wincon, haste to attack. Could of course have other wincons: Scourge of Valkas, Dragon Tempest or Warstorm Surge. Mirror is a good card, you wouldn't just be adding it for the combo, it's a mana rock that if it becomes a Dragon when it enters then Miirym can copy it.

When you control Cursed Mirror that's not a creature have Astral Dragon enter and copy Mirror. The Mirror tokens then enter as Astral and copy original Mirror that's not a creature and repeat. This creates a loop of Astral and Mirror making copies of each other, each copy of Mirror is a 4/4 Astral Dragon with haste. To break the loop stop copying Mirror with Astral, copy something else.


Sarkhan Unbroken would be another fine upgrade, but not when on a budget. $25 for a nonDragon creature card when on a budget seems not a good use of funds. For $25 you could improve the manabase with many land upgrades Reflecting Pool, more Pain lands (Yavimaya Coast, Shivan Reef), some Bond lands (Spire Garden), some Filter lands (Flooded Grove) or some Check lands (Sulfur Falls, Rootbound Crag). In my opinion when on a budget allocating some of the budget for good lands is more important than adding flashy cards such as Sarkhan.

Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner is less powerful than Sarkhan, but it's also less than $2. Kiora can still do much work as another Temur Ascendancy draw effect as well as give you 7 turns of ramp that can untap any permanent including Sol Ring or an Orb.

Shamanic Revelation could be a cut for some lower mana cost draw since you're more likely to have a higher power Dragon then that same number of Dragon creatures. That's what makes Return of the Wildspeaker and Rishkar's Expertise good draw with Dragons is they have high power. Revelation is better when playing little tribal creatures such as Elves which tend to have quantity of creatures rather than single creature with high power.

Appreciate you've already covered this in the discussion above, but I have to insist on clone creatures for Mirrym :-D

The dead card thing is not as much of an issue as you may think; your main target isn't one of the dragons in your deck, it's Miirym herself. Even though many of the clones will cause you to legend-rule away Miirym, she just ends up in the command zone ready to go again, and you end up with two copies of Miirym. You could potentially recast Miirym then for two more copies, and any future clones can target the non-legendary version. Any creature clone (i.e. not spells that create tokens) will do, but Spark Double and Sakashima of a Thousand Faces are the stars.

I don't own a Kindred Discovery, but I found Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner does much the same job for only 3 mana, and the temp ramp is a nice extra.

It's based on the fact that Karn, the Great Creator can both return Pestilent Cauldron  Flip from the side and return it from exile once it's cast as Restorative Burst  Flip.

The preparation of the combo is having Nykthos in play with enough devotion, two copies of Karn and two copies of Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner spread across your hand, the battlefield, and your graveyard.

You tap Nykthos for at least 14 mana.
Cast Karn2 for 4 mana, Karn1 is legendary rule-d in the yard.
Karn2 gets Pestilent Cauldron from the side.
Cast Kiora2 for 3 mana, Kiora1 is legendary rule-d in the yard.
Kiora2 untaps Nykthos.
You cast Restorative Burst for 5 mana and it gets exiled, get back Karn1 and Kiora1 from the yard, and gain 4 life.
You spend the last 2 mana for Nykthos and add at least 14 mana.

It's infinite life and infinite mana, the latter of whom lets you cast the front side of Pestilent Cauldron with one of the few black sources in your deck and mill your opponent.
