DraconicDestruction on Jund'em Featuring the Dragons of Tarkir

Due to the fact that you have a lot of dragons, you could use Cryptic Gateway to get dragons down faster, Wrathful Red Dragon for protection, Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient for good ramp, and a Rivaz of the Claw for ramp & recursion

I definitely second the MTGO idea if you have no nearby game stores. It's definitely not the same as playing in person, but it works. There is also Spelltable for webcam games. Anyways, onto some deck suggestions:

Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury is a really strong Rakdos dragon since it pumps your team.

I personally have removed Urza's Incubator from my dragon tribal deck. There has been a pretty significant uptick in dragon decks lately due to recent sets and the symmetrical effect has become much more of a liability. I would replace it with Herald's Horn. You still get cost reduction, but with some card advantage thrown onto it.

Speaking of card advantage, I think you could use a lot more. Atsushi, the Blazing Sky is both a dragon and card advantage. Solemn Simulacrum is both ramp and card draw. Stinging Study is 5 mana, draw 5 for you at instant speed. I always advocate for black decks to run Read the Bones. It's still one of the best card draw cards in black.

Lastly, a litte more interaction could go a long ways. Crux of Fate is a fantastic board wipe for dragon tribal, and a Bedevil and Terminate would go a long way. If you want to get really spicy, Wrathful Red Dragon + either Blasphemous Act or Star of Extinction is hilarious.

Good luck deck building! It looks like a fun build.

First advice: I personally find Genesis Ultimatum and Majestic Genesis either too high in cmc or too clunky in pips.

Rhythm of the Wild does only give your nontokens haste. If you‘re using it for the counter-protection it‘s okay if it fits your meta.

I would highly recommend mass removal… Cyclonic Rift, Chain Reaction and Blasphemous Act are great (the last two act as win condition with Wrathful Red Dragon.

Monster Manual can cheat some dragons into play in instant speed.

I‘m nit a big fan of Firkraag in a Miirym list. I personally would swap it for Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient. 7 CMC 4/4 doesn‘t look like much but the mana he produces is enormous!

Maybe you find room for a protective mana-rock with Jade Orb of Dragonkind. A very flavourful decision in a dragon deck.

instead of saying "og", just say the card name. also, the dragon taking the damage is the one dealing the damage, not the Wrathful Red Dragon

Obviously this just happened to me.

I'm sitting in my bedroom playing my Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm deck to see if some swaps make sense after a few games.

Happened to get Wrathful Red Dragon out with a token copy of it. Interesting. So now whenever a Dragon I control is dealt damage, I'll have two WRD triggers. For example, if one Dragon is dealt 3 damage, both WRDs will see this and dish out 3 and 3. So I can nail two non-Dragon targets for 3 each, or hit the same target for a combined total of six.

Nice.

A few turns later I cast Monster Manual and dropped Drakuseth, Maw of Flames. Token ETB and, thanks to Dragon Tempest, they both have haste.

Now, if I were to hit Drak with Tempest, he takes 5 damage as I have 5 Dragons. Both WRDs see this and will now allow me to expand that 5 into 10.

I can have the token also be dealt 5 from Tempest as they entered the battlefield at the same time, so Tempest sees both together.

• Yes, and no. It matters how you stack things. When Drakuseth ETB, I have two triggers go on the stack. One is Miirym and one is Tempest. If I order them to resolve Miirym first, she creates a token copy of Drak. That token ETB and immediately triggers Tempest. So Tempest resolved for the token first, which sees 5 total Dragons. Then, down the chain, OG Drak is left waiting to resolve. Only now he too sees five Dragons, as well. So while it is true that they DO NOT ETB together, it is equally true that they do in fact both see 5 Dragons.

I digress.

So while I could ping Drak and the token for 5 each, and double each to 10 thanks to two WRDs, and dish out 5+5+5+5 or 20 total damage, I have something a bit more spicy.

If instead, I move to combat and swing with the two Drakuseth, Maw of Flame, I can have the following occur:

• OG deals 4 damage to OG WRD
• OG deals 3 damage to itself

• OG deals 3 damage to the token

• Tokenseth deals 4 damage to token WRD

• Token deals 3 damage to OGseth
• Token deals 3 damage to itselfth

Now, both Drakuseth have 6 damage marked upon them, and both WRD have 4 damage marked on them. Everyone survives with 1 point left.

• WRD sees itself take 4
• OG deals 4
• Token WRD sees OG take 4
• Token deals 4
• WRD sees Token take 4
• OG deals 4
• Token sees itself take 4
• Token deals 4
• OG sees Drak take 3 from itself
• OG deals 3
• Token sees Drak take 3 from itself
• Token deals 3
• OG sees Drak take 3 from token Drak
• OG deals 3
• Token sees Drak take 3 from token Drak
• Token deals 3

(ugh)

• OG sees token Drak take 3 from OG Drak
• OG deals 3
• Token sees token Drak take 3 from itself
• OG deals 3
• Token WRD sees token Drak take 3 from OG Drak
• Token deals 3
• Token WRD sees token Drak take 3 from itself
• Token deals 3

In total, 40 damage

Nasty

So yeah, Wrathful Red Dragon + Drakuseth, Maw of Flames in a Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm deck is disgusting.

You're describing a nice playtest. I like your take on Miirym. Upvote!

May i suggest some (maybe) interesting cards? You're already using the Dragon Orbs... Orb of Dragonkind is a 2cmc colourfixing rock which can also dig into your library. Monster Manual can cheat your dragon into play. Sure, more cmc than Sneak Attack but your beasty-boys do not have to be sacrificed in the end. The Great Henge would cost {1}{G}{G} or even just {G}{G} most of the time and grants enormous value. More on the flavour side is Korlessa, Scale Singer which is pseudo card advantage. Herald's Horn reduces your dragons cost and can provide card advantage (works pretty well with Lapis Orb of Dragonkind). Rishkar's Expertise is a powerhouse draw and could cast 17 creatures or almost all your artifacts/enchantments.

And finally, i like Wrathful Red Dragon as a protection piece. In addition it's a surprise "i-win" with Blasphemous Act and/or Chain Reaction

I did a take on Miirym by myself and i hope you don't mind me linking it in here to hear your opinion on it.

I noticed a lack of interaction. I would recommend playing Blasphemous Act and/or Chain Reaction as they deal with opponents boardstate and are a surprise i-win-condition with Wrathful Red Dragon.

Monster Manual can cheat your Dragons into play and is (still) budget friendly.

Orb of Dragonkind fixes mana as a 2 cmc rock and can dig into your library.

Patron of the Arts is a nice on-theme ramp creature which provides 2 treasures total.

Other than that, i like it, that you stick on creatures not on specific dragons and clones :) I tried a take on Miirym by myself. Maybe you want to take a look
