Lost again, this deck's 5th loss in a row. A three hour long, five player marathon. Aubrey refused to press his undeniable Hakbal of the Surging Soul advantage, especially after Connor board wiped the rest of us by copying a Volcanic Fallout. Aubrey, the following player in turn order, could've taken out his brother, Auren, on Koma, World-Eater, which was a tapped giant threat and the next biggest threat at the table. Jared and I had Propaganda and Sphere of Safety, respectively, dissuading and disallowing attacks. One turn cycle later, Aubrey tried to take back his Triumph of the Hordes, since he was tapped out and couldn't attack me or Jared. I successfully argued he couldn't take it back. He attacked and killed his brother...finally! I played Cyclonic Rift at the end of Jared's turn and Connor said he would counter it, even though he only had one creature out, his commander, Magnus the Red, while Jared and Aubrey had major armies. He said he had to go and so agreed not to counter, conceding soon after. Jared had about 30 mana with his Omo, Queen of Vesuva giving him the Urzatron, plus four Gates for Baldur's Gate, allowing him to spend 27 mana for a Marit Lage from Dark Depths. He killed Aubrey with it, surprising me by not taking me out. I board wiped with Sublime Exhalation but found my only out to a lethal Marit Lage was Enduring Ideal into Runed Halo. I staved off more attacks with Back from the Brink but couldn't withstand Jared's removal and pressure... Lost a very close, five-player game.

Also, a couple copies of Volcanic Fallout might be handy in the sideboard to swap for Anger of the Gods if your opponent is playing a counterspell-heavy deck.

Budget Burn

GameDragon111 Thanks for the suggestions! I especially like Volcanic Fallout and Lightning Strike as additional budget alternatives.
My only hesitation with cards such as Dictate of the Twin Gods and Torbran, Thane of Red Fell is I would expect those to come down after I went through several burn spells already due to their high(er) CMC, and I'm not sure how much gas would be left in the tank to utilize them effectively. I do think they would be interesting though and likely just require a different playstyle than the one I was initially imagining. Thanks again for the suggestions!

Budget Burn

This is a good theme. Some other burn cards are Shock, Volcanic Fallout, Electrickery, Lightning Strike, and Seismic Wave. All of these are less than 30 cents.
Increasing damage dealt by these is more expensive, but some of the cheaper cards are Dictate of the Twin Gods and Torbran, Thane of Red Fell.
Hope these help and I hope you enjoy making more decks.

Wait wait wrong egg WRONG EGG (HUGE UPDATE)

I love that you felt the need to realize a good omelette needs variety :) otherwise you are just eating monoculture hard-boiled every time. I too love my Atla deck, just pure Atla dmg, dmg doublers, & big red stuff that would never stick in another deck :) There is something about RURIC THAR!!!! with damage doublers or Fiery Emancipation. Anyway, I like this too! What I've surprised alot of people with in the past was Volcanic Fallout hard to say how many infinite 1/1's I've stopped or used that spell at instant speed when my opponents thought I had no way of actually cooking my eggs (no apparent sac-outlet)

I like the numbers here. You'd have to pay 10 life for a "free" improved Volcanic Fallout. You really have to play it wisely to have this card not be terrible, but if you do, it's spectacular. Great design!

Atarka can make a pretty mean combat damage deck. It's not the best at interaction, but player removal counts as removal, too. I notice you're not running much green interaction, so I would suggest adding Nature's Claim and Return to Nature. They're nice and cheap.
Some upgrades could be Untamed Wilds and Spoils of Victory for Kodama's Reach and Cultivate. There's also Skyshroud Claim and Beanstalk Giant. Having lands that can ramp is really nice too, so I'd consider swapping some basics for Myriad Landscape and Blighted Woodland.
Bower Passage gives basically all your dragons unblockable (it's some really nice tech for dragon decks). This ca
Savage Ventmaw is an excellent dragon in my opinion. Helps a lot with the mana. If you have a Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient or Old Gnawbone that would be better. But the uncommon is good on a budget. Any one of these goes very well with Aggravated Assault or Hellkite Charger.
Now for the expensive suggestions. Xenagos, God of Revels lets you one-shot people with your commander while also giving haste. I know you may not want to be one of THOSE people, but if you put Grafted Exoskeleton on your commander, it also lets you one-shot people. Balefire Dragon and Hellkite Tyrant are excellent for completely wiping out opponents. Steel Hellkite is a budget alternative to those. The Great Henge is powerful in this deck by giving you draw, extra power, mana, and being a low cost once you have a dragon out. Utvara Hellkite is an army in a can. Gets ridiculous fast.
Some cards I would consider cutting are definitely the burn spells. Magma Jet, Lightning Bolt, Volcanic Fallout, Dragon's Fire, Banefire, and Atarka's Command may be good in other formats, but they fall short in commander. They aren't very good interaction because you'll often not be able to deal with the biggest threats on the board. Better cards for interaction would probably be Ryusei, the Falling Star, Rolling Earthquake, and Scourge of Valkas.
