Goblin Recruiter, perhaps?

Hellkite Charger always seems like a nice one to have, too. Especially with Old Gnawbone, Savage Ventmaw and to a lesser extent, Goldspan Dragon.

Swebb87 on miirym, sentinel wyrm cackling counterpart …

Hi, I have miirym in play, cast an Old Gnawbone for example and get a token copy of old gnawbone from miirym. If I cast cackling counterpart targeting the non legendary token of old gnawbone, so I make another 2 non legendary copies? One from miirym trigger one from cackling counterpart or does the copy spell creature a legendary copy?

Thank you for commenting on my deck! I appreciate it. FULL DISCLOSURE: I have not played with this Chatterfang, Squirrel General deck since the banning of Jeweled Lotus and Mana Crypt, both of which were in this build prior to being showcased on tappedout. They were replaced with Llanowar Elves and Fyndhorn Elves. Since these two zero-mana artifacts were replaced, there did not seem to be a need for Urza's Saga anymore, which was replaced by a basic Swamp. Anyway, in the rare instances when one of these artifacts was in my opening hand, a turn one Chatterfang was almost always game over, especially if that artifact was Jeweled Lotus, which allowed me to cast a one-drop in addition to casting our General. Aside from these occurrences, the deck is still lightning fast. There are so many different ways to combo-off and so many ways to find the needed pieces, it is almost a detriment to playing this build: Often times I have focused TOO MUCH on the combo pieces as opposed to engaging in some aristocratic game-play from turn to turn by whittling opponents' life totals down here and there. I admit that once a copy of Old Gnawbone becomes available, then it would easily replace Beledros Witherbloom. I originally had token doublers in this build like Parallel Lives and Doubling Season, but decided to take them out because Chatterfang is a token-doubler, should almost always be on our side of the battlefield, and I could use those cards in other decks. They ain't cheap! Tree rats 4life. Happy brewing!!

How about Revel in Riches for that sweet alt-wincon? Old Gnawbone could get some mileage in for you too.

Thanks for the recommendations KayneMarco. I actually have 2 copies of Revel in Riches, but I have them in my Burakos and Vraska decks respectively as alt win-cons. I figured Revel in Riches might get a bit more mileage in those decks since their creatures are a bit on the smaller side. I definitely considered it for this deck, but opted for some of the X spells instead.

This deck is more so a quick successor to my old Windgrace deck (not really my playstyle after a few games) and my Prosper deck, so I threw it together with what I had on hand. Not sure if I'll keep this deck around for long term, since it has some overlap with my Goro-Goro and Satoru deck, in terms of wanting to play Haste-y stuff, and also has overlap with the aforementioned Burakos & Vraska decks with the Treasure synergy.

I don't currently own a copy of Old Gnawbone, and since I'm unsure if I'll keep this deck long-term, I'm not really sure I'd want to invest in a copy at the moment. Proxying is definitely an option in my play-group.

Just saw you don’t have Old Gnawbone in here either

This Sultai Commander is such a banger.

I'm seeing a lot of fantastic options here already like Thada Adel, Acquisitor, Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholar & Old Gnawbone! Right on.

What directions have you considered as far as the continued development of the list is concerned? Slimming down into a reanimator strategy so that you can more heavily leverage the real bangers like Old Gnawbone & Ancient Silver Dragon will make the deck way more flexible and consistent imho. You don't need to jam all of the triggers, just the right ones. This approach will also allow you to make more room for the essentials: ramp, draw & tutors!

First of all, I love your deck choices!

But I believe that Ancient Gold Dragon would be a very good card to add even if he doesn't have haste. First of all he’s a 7/10 good blocker for the turn he comes in unlike Ancient Copper Dragon (6/5) but I understand that it’s slow if you don’t have a way to give him haste. Love Copper Dragon treasures thought <3

Imagine having Dragon Tempest /Scourge of Valkas /Terror of the Peaks out when up to 20 x blue faerie dragons enters the battlefield. The amount of damage each trigger would do.

Also very good with all attack triggers or other cool dragons you have in the deck (Dromoka, the Eternal, Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury, Old Gnawbone, Silumgar, the Drifting Death,Utvara Hellkite, Wrathful Red Dragon, Defiant Thundermaw  ^Flip).

You could also potentially draw up to 20 cards if Kindred Discovery or Greater Good is on the battlefield. Puts a good number of counters on Dragon's Hoard also.

I’d love to hear your opinion on why you didn’t include him in your list with all the good synergies!

I think I would probably have to switch Balefire Dragon for Ancient Gold Dragon. Most big problematic creatures have more than 6 toughness so Balefire doesn’t get rid of them it’s only good against Tokens stacking strategies early on. I’d rather get many blockers each turn recurring and like explained you only need 1 of those 3 pieces (Dragon Tempest/Scourge of Valkas/Terror of the Peaks) to do almost the same effect as Balefire but targeting anything.
