Roaming Throne is awesome! Granting Miirym basicly hexproof. Definitively a staple.

In that note you might also appreciate Temur Battlecrier or Reckless Barbarian.

Wish you the best of openinghands! Let me know how sneak attack serves you should you include it.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comment and the suggestions!

Mana/land has not been an issue with this deck. Sure I get mana-starwed occasionally, as I do with all decks. But the ramping works well here.

As for your suggestions, the only two I feel I would need is the Temur Battlecrier (OMG, How have I not seen this before?!?) and the Rattleclaw Mystic. Bloom Tender is nice, but can not mana-fix me in certain situations.

Reading it a second time, Reckless Barbarian did become a bit more interesting. But the two other cards are not for this deck I feel. The limitation of two basic forest in the search criteria for the sorcery, makes it not worth it for this deck. And the dragon itself is underwhelming at 5 cmc.

I should maybe test changing out Dragon's hoard for the Cursed mirror tbh. Best thing is if comes out as a non-legendary copy of something. ^-^

Thanks again!

Your manabase looks at the low side for the amount of beefy boys you run. Any thought on Temur Battlecrier, Bloomvine Regent or Reckless Barbarian? I personally am also a big fan of Veteran Explorer or Rattleclaw Mystic, you morph it turn 3 and on turn 4 you turn it face up and tap so you have enough and the colors to play Miirym.

For the veteran you can also wait out until you have 4 lands, politic a bit with your opponents if they like to have 2 more lands, and on your turn kill the veteran to receive the last 2 untapped lands you were missing. You care allot more about mana than the opponent do.

On your debate on Cursed Mirror, i also would very much vouch for the mirror. In a pinch it creates a non-legendary Miirym copy.

Hey dude! Gonna try to keep this brief and not go down a brewing rabbit hole lol.

Have you considered extra combat phases? Your Commander's strategy obviously hinges upon you being able to attack with it, so doing it multiple times a turn is the way to go imho.

Although I wouldn't go overboard with it, there are a few worth thinking over such as Aggravated Assault, Combat Celebrant, Breath of Fury (extra good if you're running creatures that want to be sacrificed on your way to drawing cards via your Commander, Cathodion for example), Seize the Day, Savage Beating & World at War.

Creatures that sacrifice themselves could also be great, stuff like Ball Lightning, Groundbreaker & Lightning Skelemental can do a lot of damage. Blood Pet, Goldhound, Reckless Barbarian, Generator Servant, Tinder Wall, Wild Cantor & Basal Thrull draw and ramp you at the same time, which is pretty neat. Eldrazi token generators like Sifter of Skulls, From Beyond & Awakening Zone can help you keep that engine running in longer games. Haywire Mite, Caustic Caterpillar &Cankerbloom draw, control the board and replace their presence on your own board for a great rate.

There are a few value pieces worth thinking about as well, like, Pitiless Plunderer & Korvold, Fae-Cursed King.

Lastly, you need a lot more mana dorks, my guy. As many as possible.

Sorry for being so long-winded! Cheers!

Personally I would make these swaps:

Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch -> Ruby Medallion
Necropotence -> Syr Carah, the Bold
Rhystic Study -> Spellweaver Helix
Jeweled Lotus -> Reckless Barbarian
Mox Amber -> Cheering Fanatic
Firebrand Archer -> Chart a Course
Dimir Signet -> Sign in Blood
Chromatic Lantern -> Ancestral Vision
Talisman of Dominance -> Knollspine Dragon
Vampiric Tutor -> Niv-Mizzet, Parun
Thought Vessel -> Thrumming Stone
Faithless Looting, Toxic Deluge, Wheel of Misfortune, An Offer You Can't Refuse, Negate, Mana Drain, Chaos Warp, Deadly Rollick, Deflecting Swat, Pongify, Teminate, Stubborn Denial, Lightning Greaves -> 13x Dragon's Approach

Thanks for the ideas Zobeth!

  • Reckless Barbarian - well this guy is funny, I don't think I ever noticed that this dork was a dragon! I feel like my mana base and ramp suite is in a good spot, but I do appreciate what this guy could bring to the dragon mix.
  • Intet, the Dreamer - I really debated on adding Intet, but ultimately decided against it
  • Cloudstone Curio - I looked up some of the possible combos and yep, this could definitely end games, haha. I'm tempted, just need to decide if that's a line of play I want to incorporate here.

    Neat deck idea!

    Not sure how fast the decks you play againset are, but have you considered some lower to the ground dragons? These seemed somewhat interesting, most have colourless in their cost, for the potential discount. Bhaal's Invoker has 4 power, Silvanus's Invoker could be a maybe, Reckless Barbarian seems interesting, Dragon Egg deters people from wiping the board/attacking with bigger non-flyers, Scaled Nurturer is ramp and life, Korlessa, Scale Singer seems interesting, Chaos Dragon is effectively a 2/4 Haste Flying for 3 (it can't swing half the time, but it can still block), and while it's pricey Shivan Devastator can come down early or late.
