this looks like is shaping up pretty great! i really like Urza's Incubator and Smuggler's Surprise they seem really cool in here. The only real suggestion i have from how games have gone for me so far with Ureni is more haste enablers like Hammer of Purphoros, Rising of the Day, Fires of Yavimaya or if available Arena of Glory/Lightning Greaves.... I have about 8 cards that do this effect and it has felt pretty good to consistently get 2 additional dragons in play just for casting/attacking with Ureni.

Hi,

This looks fun, but if I may: it's not fast. There's a very simple reason for this. Your deck contains no additional mana sources other than lands and no ramp. On top of that, most creatures in your deck are very expensive to cast. Considering that you don't seem to be on a budget, I'd recommend the following cards:

• Add ramp cards like Burgeoning, Exploration, Topiary Stomper and Wayward Swordtooth. Being able to play more lands per turn will increase the deck's speed dramatically.
• Add some mana rocks like Arcane Signet, Chromatic Lantern, Patchwork Banner and Sol Ring to provide you with additional mana.
• Try to cheapen the casting of dinosaurs with cards like Herald's Horn and Urza's Incubator.
• Include some ramp sorceries that allow you to fetch good lands for a low amount of required mana, like Farseek, Nature's Lore and Three Visits

Aside from all the above, you can also increase the deck's speed by adding stuff that allows you to filter through your deck like Scroll Rack and Sensei's Divining Top. Last but not least, Monstrous Vortex seems to be very suitable to the deck's overall theme and strategy.

Thank you for your suggestions. I considered them and here is what I was able to come up with:

Riptide Laboratory - Believe it or not I'm trying to cut down on the number of non-basic lands for this deck, which is why some of the maybe board lands are sitting on the side. That's a good contender though so I'll add it to the maybe pile.

Mask of Memory - That's a good point. While i normally see extra card draw as never a bad thing, this deck does have a lot. Replaced with Sword of Feast and Famine. Personal favorite sword and it should help to play some of those extra cards that are being drawn.

Drown in the Loch - Swapped it in for Urza's Incubator

Otawara, Soaring City - Swapped in for an Island

Faerie Harbinger - Wife specifically nixed this card. She doesn't like tutors all that much and nearly nixed Demonic TutorGC too. I wanted to cry.

What kind of suggestions and budget do you have in mind?

Urza's Incubator - Ramp

Fetchland - To bring in witch cottage instant speed

Is the reason you don't include the grave titan combo is due to potential clunkiness, have you considered just adding in Grave Titan solo? Or does he not provide enough benefit on it's own to justify its 6cmc slot in ur low avg cmc build?

You're welcome Vessiliana! Completely understand your reasoning concerning Contract. With regards to Devourer, I kinda understand it too, though I should point out that it's quite likely that he hits the battlefield much earlier than Be'lakor, because of the required mana cost of the latter.

Regarding the more expensive stuff, I was going to bring up cards like Archfiend of Despair/Bloodletter of Aclazotz (both have insane damage potential), Roaming Throne (which is massively beneficial in almost any tribal deck), Valgavoth, Terror Eater (super strong with an excellent theft ability) and Urza's Incubator (another way to make demon-summoning a lot cheaper).

Would Earthcraft be worth considering/work?

Heart Warden > Elvish Hunter?

Thousand-Year Elixir - Synergy

Glimpse of Nature - Draw

Urza's Incubator - Or is it not needed?

Urza's Incubator - Ramp, if budget allows

Bubbling Muck - Ramp

Syphon Mind - Draw 3, each opponent discard 1. Budget friendly

What is the point of running skittles in a non-infect deck?

Coat of Arms - Buff, if budget allows.

Miren, the Moaning Well - Extra sac outlet with lifegain to boot.

Sun Titan - Good on it's own, can also get lands! There is some synergy with Sun Titan + Angelic Renewal + Sac outlet. I could be wrong but ST + AN + Phyrexian altar = Infinite colored mana? ST brings back renewal, sac ST for 1 mana, AN brings ST back which brings back AN. Rinse and repeat. Does that work? Maybe using the mana to equip skullclamp and draw?

Karmic Justice - Like another martyr bond, I think the redundancy is helpful and on theme.

At the risk of repeating myself too much, Urza's Incubator for ur 8 dragons + commander?

Emeria, the Sky Ruin - I wonder how this plays in a deck with so many non basics? I love how u have blinkmoth well with the stax artifacts, one of my faves!
